At first glance, the ride share pickup area at the Las Vegas airport looks chaotic. But like so many things in Las Vegas, first impressions can be deceiving.

“Wait behind the cement barrier,” says the man in charge of the ride share pickup area. “When your driver is here, they’ll text you the row and space number. It’s just like bingo, folks!”

The analogy is perfect, not just because the lot is organized into lettered rows and numbered spaces, but because bingo is a game of chance, and that’s exactly why most of the people in this ride share area have come to Las Vegas.
