Back before Uber, it was a must to say "NO TUNNEL" when catching a cab from the airport.
At least now it looks like they are cracking down on the practice..
The Nevada Taxicab Authority is expected to update rules next month dealing with drivers who take longer routes than necessary in a practice known as long-hauling.
That practice, along with fuel surcharges and other costs, was cited in a state audit last year that determined Southern Nevada taxi riders were overcharged $47 million annually in various fees
