I never take Uber leaving the airport in Vegas, the taxi stand is just so much more convenient. Most other cities, where there are trains I take the train. I'd rather the predictability of schedule and not having to worry about traffic.

So they pick you up first and then if you don’t tip them up front they don’t let you in the car?

This doesn’t sound a little suspicious that this supposedly happens on a regular basis? Picking you up from a major airport where there are plenty of other drivers?

They cancel your ride once they talk to you in person and you’re getting in the car?
