I don't pick up any of them. If I get a ride to the strip I turn off my app till I can get back to safety, f the strip

Other than the flexible hours, the one thing that always sounds most attractive to me about rideshare is not having to work the strip. Even in a cab I will still only stage at Encore, Wynn, Palazzo and sometimes Bellagio, Cosmo, Aria.

The thing that hurts Flaming/Cromwell the most is the staging. T.I. is getting just as bad. pax are drunk coming from anywhere. Harrahs has a new pickup location next to the old one no one uses.
if you do not want so many drunk Pax, adjust your driving hours, its that simple.

That's not accurate. With all the a holes giving pax 1's for not tipping most pax have a lower rating.

Pretty similar situation happened to me downtown two weekends ago. Super rude girl wanted to fit four in my backseat and when I told her no that it was against the law she threw a fit. Told me to cancel so she didn’t have to pay. I laughed at her and she slammed my door and cursed at me. Two seconds later I get another request from the same person. I almost felt like accepting just to make the dumb ***** pay another 5.
It’s getting pretty dangerous out there. Had another incident last week turning into Mandalay Bay. We were both turning in but the other driver was in the cab lane and when he realized this cut me off just barely missing hitting my car. We both drop off our passengers and pull out onto Las Vegas Blvd to uturn it back to the strip. Guy gets out of his car at the light and gets something out of a pouch in his trunk. While he’s doing this the light turns green so I yell to him that he’s holding up traffic. I go around him and get stuck at the light. He gets the lane next to me and starts drivIng right at me, I thought for sure he was going to hit me. He pulls up close, rolls down his window and spits on my car. So now I go after him, catch up to him at a light and spit back on his window. That’s when he pulled out a gun and pointed at me. I just turned my head and said you win.

That's not dangerous, it's stupid. Tell me it's not!!! from spitting to guns. You didn't have to say anything at the light.
What's dangerous is having a passenger get in and ask for your money. All the time your not noticing that he had a cup in his hand. When you don't have any money be pours the liquid from the cup on you. Then lights the gas he just threw all over the front seat and you. Burning you to death
Another thing that is dangerous is two wanna be gangsters shooting at each other in the front of Aria. The on speeding through the intersection of Flamingo and LV blvd. crashing into your car and catching it on fire. Both you and your passenger burn up with the car. Thats' dangerous.

I don't have a problem with saying something at the light. Guy is 100% in the wrong to get out of his car and go through the trunk at a stoplight. Going after him after he spit on my car was a terrible idea but who the **** spits on someone's car because they said something to them at a light? Did those other situations happen?

When i drop there (for Drais) I tell them get picked up at Bally's...way better and worth walk across street.
I had four females from here almost fight in my car. I stopped the car, got out, and said you stop right effin now or get the eff out of my car. They apologized, told me i was right, and were quiet all the way to Summerlin.

Yeah to cab drivers
Here's my issue, the person who ordered the ride is supposedly banned from Uber, but that may not be the person who threw the punches.
Uber says they are ban and uber never lies what they usually mean is that passenger wont have that driver again

Hate picking up there too - but this happened at 6pm, not 3am - which makes it even crazier!
Whenever there's a group of people when you pull up, keep the doors locked until you know what's up!
