The Los Angeles Times writes today that Las Vegas' economic problems "are straining the relationship between the cab drivers and the strip clubs that pay them to deliver customers."
"... In the taxi world, the practice is called 'spiff' -- when strip clubs pay drivers to steer bachelor parties or frat boys their way. The clubs depend on cabbies, who are de facto guides for millions of visitors to Las Vegas, and considered so vital that casinos routinely hold 'driver appreciation' events."
"'The clubs are being shaken down,' groused Neil Beller, an attorney for Deja Vu Showgirls and Little Darlings, which recently sued rivals that pay cabbies more. A hearing on a defendant motion to dismiss the case is scheduled for March."
