How Many Las Vegas Taxis Does It Take to Get You to Elvis? (Spoiler Alert: It's Not THAT Many)
Let's face it, Vegas is a whirlwind. You've got buffets that would make your grandma faint (in a good way, hopefully), shows that push the boundaries of good taste (also hopefully in a good way), and enough flashing lights to make you think you've wandered onto a disco ball convention floor. But when your roulette winnings are burning a hole in your pocket and your dancing shoes are begging for a walk down the Strip, what do you do? Hail a cab, of course!
But here's the burning question that's keeping you up at night (besides the questionable impersonators and questionable buffets): How many taxis are there in Las Vegas?
According to the Nevada Taxicab Authority (the folks who make sure you don't get overcharged by a singing Elvis impersonator behind the wheel), there are approximately 3,250 valiant steeds (or should we say, sedans?) cruising the Las Vegas Valley. That's a heck of a lot of cabs, enough to make sure you never wait an eternity to snag a ride, even if you decide to channel your inner Sinatra at 3 am.
QuickTip: Go back if you lost the thread.
