Tipping limo drivers

[Frank from PA]

I am having a strip hotel limo pick up my wife and I from the airport as part of our anniversary celebration:D. The hotel will be putting the limo charge on my bill. He will meet us in baggage claim and help us with our baggage. Does anyone have any idea how much I should tip the driver for the both of us :confused: ?

We had a limo pick us up last year from the airport. We had him stop at the grocery store so that we could buy some water and beer for when we got to our Hotel. He had no problem and we tipped him $25.

that you are also from PA and that you will be celebrating your Anniversary out there. We are doing the same. We leave September 29th and will be renewing our wedding vows at the Viva Las Vegas Wedding Chapel on the 30th and they will broadcast it Live on the Internet. Hope that you have a great time out there!

Quite a coincidence :D , as we are heading out also on the 29th, but first to Florida to meet friends with the same identical anniversary date. A little golf, a little relaxing and on 10/4 from Florida to Vegas for 4 nights.

On our 30th, we renewed our wedding vows in Vegas with Elvis giving the bride away! It was not only lots of fun, but something we will always remember :cool: .

Good luck!!

Last limo I had we tipped $5 a rider, but we didn't make a beer stop. $25 is probably a little much, but not too bad. You're already paying $80 or better, and the service is no better than a cab (same roads, same stop lights, same direct service to your hotel, but no mileage or time charges added on to the $80, which is what the $80 is for), except that the dude is waiting for you at the baggage claim with a sign with your name on it (which is what the $80 is also paying for) . . .You do know that a limo is not necessarily a stretch white Hummer limo, but is most likely a plain ole Lincoln Continental or Navigator (unless you're paying more than $80). Your strip hotel limo is probably a van, and you may be sharing the ride, so consider that when you tip.

Our limo was a real limo last year. This year we ordered the super stretch limo from Presidential Limo. Ours will cost approximately $80 and then we will add the tip. It all depends on where you order the limo from.

Our Hotel (NY-NY) sends my wife and I a limo each time we go to LV. From the airport to the hotel is probably about 10 minutes. I always tip $20.00.

When I get a hotel limo from the airport to the strip, I tip $20. I figured that the cab fare is usually (with tip, $14), so for $6.00 more I get a limo sent for me.

Just got back from Vegas last week. We had Presidential Limo pick us up at the Airport. The driver (Chris Wahl) was fantastic. He stopped so that we could buy a couple of cases of beer and water. He had a bottle of champagne, soft drinks and a couple of beers in the limo when we got in. When he took us to our hotel, upon exiting, he gives the ladies a rose. We tipped him $25. We enjoyed this limo company so much, that we reserved him to pick us up at our hotel and take us back to the Airport when we left. I would definitely recommend Presidential Limo.

Caesar's sends a limo for me on request - I typically request Jack
as a driver, as he's a great guy. $20. in the palm during the handshake
at the front door.

If you want to ride up the Strip, let your driver know. Sometimes they take
"the back way" to avoid traffic --- and don't feel badly about closing the divider, it's a limo...

A $20 is a perfect tip for standard service. If you are taking golf clubs and most of your wife's wardrobe, tip more. Always take care of people that take care of you, and you will never go wrong.

:cool: Every time we have been to Vegas we are totally comped our Limo. We stay at the Rio. We are not high rollers by any stretch. I simply asked the first time if we could have a Limo pick us up at the airport. Yes, has always been the response. Never billed. We have always tipped $20.00. I so highly recommend being part of the players club. I have also never paid for a room. The rooms at the Rio are awesome.
