OK, so this may be true in some cases but only if the cabbie is going:
1. Green Valley or SouthPoint
2. maybe Mandalay/Luxor
3. any other casino on the West side of the strip will only be faster if they take Frank Sinatra!!! but most go up the strip or the highway and hit traffic anyway...

...a good cabbie knows the back roads and could catch a side road and cut over
..ALWAYS ask which why he/she plans to go PRIOR to leaving

...times vary also on time of day, day of week and whether or not there is a big convention/fight/show in town
