recent article on this topic in the R-J

excerpts:
"If you want to take the shortest route, the cabby must comply...They have to comply. It's actually a Nevada law...Section 706.8846 of the Nevada Revised Statutes, the state's book of laws, it says a driver shall not "take a longer route to the passenger's destination than is necessary, unless specifically requested so to do by the passenger (or) fail to comply with the reasonable and lawful requests of the passenger as to speed of travel and route to be taken."

"If you think you've been screwed by a cabby's actions, you can file a complaint with the Taxicab Authority by calling (702) 486-6532 or going online to www.taxi.state.nv.us. Be sure to have handy the names and license numbers for the cab and its driver, along with time and place info."
