Tourists complain that they get overcharged by their cab driver when visiting Las Vegas. Some drivers claim long-hauling happens due to pressure from their employers. There is an effort to use technology to deal with the problem. But, there's a move to pass a bill that would create flat rates for rides from the airport to the strip. The cab companies don't like the plan. Is the law the best way to handle long-hauling?
