Great news for Uber fans! Uber will officially be launching in Las Vegas, meaning the next time you’re headed to sin-city, you can take an Uber around town rather than being forced to pay for a cab.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

Whatever you are up to this weekend, here is some basic info on what to expect with uberX, our low-cost ridesharing option:

• Convenience: Once you’ve pinpointed your location on the Uber app, a driver will be ready to pick you up within minutes–wherever you are.
• Safety: You’ll receive important details about your ride, like contact info for the driver and the license plate of the car. You can track the exact location of the driver and even share details about your trip with anyone who is waiting for you at your destination or just wants to know you are getting home safe.
• Hassle Free: There’s no need to worry about cash — your ride will be charged directly to your Uber account when your trip is over and you’ll get an emailed receipt.
