Is Las Vegas Really The Best Place to Hail a Taxi?
Hotels.com put out a bit of a head-scratching report today, well at least to us anyways. The booking site surveyed cities where they have the most amount of hotel rooms to sell several cities around the world and declared Las Vegas to be the best place in the U.S. to hail a taxi.
Las Vegas taxis were top rated in four of the seven categories surveyed including the cleanest taxis and the best quality of driving along with best value and friendliest drivers, each of which received 16 percent of the vote.
Hmm. Yes, it is quite easy to hail a taxi in Vegas. That we certainly agree with. Just step outside the casino and head to the taxi queue. Also, that taxi line at the airport can move pretty fast considering how many people are in it at times. (Friday nights excluded.)

Which Vegas News Team Cures a Hangover Best?
One of our favorite parts of traveling is checking out the local news broadcasts. If in Los Angeles, we hope to see the next Soup clip from Good Day LA. On the east coast, we might catch a Boston weatherman talking in inches. Elsewhere, we’re probably trying to figure out how our middle school news team secured a bigger budget.
Which Vegas newscast is your fav? Here are just a few of ours:

Las Vegas Bottoms Out on America's Favorite Cities List
Travel and Leisure magazine just put out their "America's Favorite Cities" list where they polled readers for their thoughts on 30 U.S. cities using a variety of topics and there is no good news for Las Vegas here. Sin City was ranked #30, dead last, in the poll for "Most Intelligent People."
We were also ranked #30 for "Classical Music" under the Culture section. We scored poorly (either #29 or #30) in terms of farmer's markets, noteworthy neigborhoods, peace and quiet, historical sites, family getaways, cultural getaways, antique and vintage shops, and environmental friendliness.
The only good ranking we did get was for big-name luxury hotels probably thanks to the Wynn, Encore, Palazzo, et.al. And while we did place #2 for best place for a wild getaway, we were beaten out by New Orleans. If we can't win for a wild getaway weekend, then what are we doing here? Someone call Mayor Goodman to blast these results ASAP!
