           Yellow-Checker-Star #3630. We were long-hauled to the Las Vegas convention center via the Interstate and Sahara Blvd. for a total of $30.50. I was in town for MAGIC with two of my buyers. I have come to trade shows in Las Vegas for thirty years, sometimes three time annually. The first time I was long-hauled, I knew what was happening, but until asking another driver why the route was chosen, I didn’t know what to call the ride. He told me that using the freeway was a way to get extra fare. Once a driver asked me if he could use the freeway and I agreed. Tuesday, I knew immediately what was happening. When we stopped at the Convention Center, I asked him why he didn’t take Paradise, he said that it was closed.
