Taxi fares in Las Vegas are about to go up. The base fee for each trip will increase from $3.50 to $5.25, according to a report in the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
The distance fee will also increase from 23 cents for every 1/12th of a mile traveled to 37 cents per every 1/8th mile. For the algebra-challenged, that’s an increase of 20 cents per mile, from $2.76 to $2.96.
The fee for a taxi to wait for you after drop-off will remain $32.40 per hour.
The Taxicab Authority, which oversees the 10K drivers working for 16 taxi companies in Clark County, voted in the increases last week.
Flat-rate fees for three zones between the Strip and Harry Reid International Airport, which the Taxicab Authority approved in 2019 to curtail long-hauling, will also increase according to the following schedule.
