Las Vegas taxis increase 45 cents per mile

The cabbies got their way, and after today's approval, taxis in Las Vegas will be 45 cents more right after the Independence Day weekend (July 6).

This includes 20 cents more per mile plus a fuel surcharge of 25 cents per mile.

Thankfully, five people can still ride for the price of one, unlike other cities.

If gas soars above $5 for five days in a row, the Nevada Taxicab Authority can review and increase the surcharge.

If gas drops below $4 for 20 days in a row, however, they can get rid of the surcharge.
