Taxi hailer/door opener/Valets

Here%26#39;s the scoop.

As far as I can determine.

The guy that ';hails'; the next taxi on the taxi line works on his own. That%26#39;s what I%26#39;ve been told. You can tip him or not. If he helps you with your bags, maybe a buck. I find it kinda ridiculous to drag my bags from my room, through the casino, out to the taxi line, and pay somebody to just toss them in the trunk. Ok. Then he opens the door for you, like you couldn%26#39;t do it yourself, mumbles something about whether you%26#39;re going to the airport or some other casino, cabbie asks you the same question.

Sounds like a pretty cushey job, right? It IS! They make enough on tips that they don%26#39;t have to dig ditches in the hot summer sun for a living.

Where was I?

Would you like a job like that? Good luck. There are people waiting in line.

I%26#39;ll go on about valets, after assuring everyone that no baby kitties were stepped on in the process.

I really hate the way they ask you where you are going, as if they are going to tell the driver, and then make no pretense of doing so, as the cabbie asks YOU where you want to go. So why does this guy ask you, just to interrogate you for fun?

Or is it because some organizatin is compiling a dossier on you? What ever happened to ';what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas?'; Maybe I%26#39;m getting a little paranoid, and he is just asking so you think he is going to pass on the information and do something to earn his $1. But I think it is a spy agency. not the FBI or the CIA, but one of the ones we haven%26#39;t heard of -- the same ones who are bugging my phones and following me.

I think I might start giving fictious destinations to the cab hailer, just for fun, to see if her reacts. Maybe I%26#39;ll tell him I want to go to Detrioit or Yankee Stadium.
