Guest Column: Nick the Cabbie, Las Vegas’ Coolest Cab Pilot
That’s right. Pilot. He thinks “driving a cab” just doesn’t sound quite right so he looks at it as being a pilot. I kinda like that. Not only is he probably the best driver I know (and a great personal friend,) he’s available for his drunken, debauched friends when in need of a lift from Rehab or various other clubs around Las Vegas! That’s right…. Our personal, Las Vegas driver, VIP style. Okay, well as VIP as you can be in a taxicab 
How does one go about ending up a cab driver? Well, apparently a good way to start is being a screenwriter, because that’s what Nick is. In classic Hollywood mogul fashion, he has a half dozen or so scripts in various stages of production..
Being a great, old friend of mine, I’ve been trying to get Nick to move out west to Las Vegas for a number of years now. This town is the perfect combination of glitz, glam, girls, gratuitous iniquities, gossip, and probably a lot of other things that begin with a “g.” Such an environment is perfect for a writer looking for inspiration as he works on his next screenplay. (I didn’t want to alliterate with “s” or this would be way too long.) So I finally talked him into moving…
So what’s a move without a plan? I figured, hey if it’s things to draw from that you need, what a more rich environment to be in than driving a taxi, and in Las Vegas, no less?? Plus, the gig pays well! (You get bonuses every time you take someone to a strip club or send an escort to someone’s hotel room.) So for Nick, driving a cab is something of an international work-study program, if you will.
Nick always has funny stories to share when he gets off of work… Like the one with Ron Jeremy and his out-of-control female friend that he won’t write about because he made a promise to Ron. That’s our Nick – a cabby with ethics and a story to tell. Go figure.
So in the next day or two Nick’s first story will be posted on here and they are going to keep coming once or twice a week. Just look for the heading – “Nick’s Las Vegas Late Night Cab Confessions.” This is gonna be good.
…And if you are coming to Las Vegas or are already here and need a driver, shoot Nick an email
