"Sorry my card reader isn't working, cash only."

"Oh, sorry, I don't carry cash. Better luck next time man!"

"Oh it just started working."

San Francisco, too. I'm so glad for Uber.

One downside to Uber in Vegas is that airport pickups happen in some hot parking garage far from the terminals.

Fwiw I found it pretty well organized.

I remember once going on the way back a work trip on a whim, and regretting not checking that the weather was >100 degrees. That step outside was an oven.

It's also kind of far and inconvenient to get to. It's like the inverse of those shuttles that take you from the arrivals loop of the airport to the ass end of the casino loading dock of your hotel (and 10 other hotels. So, unlike Uber, not even remotely worth it).

Interestingly Vegas is the only place I will use a cab over Uber or Lyft or (preferably) Waymo. Using the Curb app to pay electronically you avoid most of the BS with cash and "their card machine being broken", and once you've done it a few times you know the actual correct routes between places.

Baltimore was infamous for this when I lived there 15 years ago.
