Instead of getting in my cab, this guy walks around to my window and says, “Can you get me to the airport in ten minutes?”

I quickly consider a multitude of factors like

(A) where I am,1

(B) which route I will take,2

(D) what day it is,4

(E) what time it is,5

(F) how much traffic will there be,6

(G) how much I want this ride,7

(H) what I need to say to get it,8

(I) what will happen if I take longer than ten minutes,9

(J) how big my tip will be if I miraculously get him there in time,10

(K) what are the most important details of this story that I may forget to mention,11 and

(L) which trenchant author I will need to rip off when I finally write this down.12

87675f48efdc080b I don’t normally write to specifically plug places unless I really believe in what I’m writing and I never, ever get paid to do so. This is no different, but I really felt like this is a deal worth blogging about that they have going on over at Planet Hollywood.. …or as we locals will forever know it due to a signage malfunction while it was being redesigned: Planet Ho.

The way it works is really simple and really sweet.

It’s a little after nine o’clock in the morning and for the past forty-five minutes I’ve been driving back and forth from the MGM Signature towers to the Mandalay Bay Convention Center as fast as the passengers and the traffic will allow. It’s not the most desirable fare, but today I happen to be restricted. (Restricted cabs are prohibited from picking up rides Downtown, on the Strip, or at McCarran International Airport.)
