From what has appeared in the newspaper, that is true. The club
doorman give a "tip" to the cabbie for delivering people. That means
when you get into an LV taxi and say, "Take me to the Olive Garden," the
driver will automatically go into his speil; "Nobody goes there,"
"The place isn't safe," "The girls at XXX Club are ten times hotter,"
or, "Let me take you to a really GOOD place."

The idea is that the driver takes you to a club that pays him a generous
tip for bringing in fresh customers. The more people, the bigger the
tip. This is true as well for limo drivers.

Also, be aware that many doormen at even the best casino hotels are also
on the take, from what I hear. If a group of guys show up and want a
taxi, the doorman will inquire about their destination. If it's a strip
club or other similar attraction, he'll "suggest" that you get a LIMO-
and most of the time the limo will be "free." The limo driver tips the
doorman for diverting you, and then gets 1) usually a generous tip from
the riders and, 2) a great tip from the strip club where he then takes
or diverts you to.
