Where to go for knowledge of a city’s best-kept secrets

Many years ago I went to Vegas for the first time and went to visit their fabled strip clubs.

Let’s just say that I was underwhelmed…

Yes, the girls were gorgeous but prices were outrageously high and mileage was outrageously low….

And, goes without saying that Extras were simply a nonstarter.

On my way back to my hotel, with balls bluer than the sky, I vented my frustration to the taxi driver.

It was then that I discovered that taxi drivers held the keys to the secret locations of their town!

This driver, and others who followed, introduced me to all of the places in town that could not be found on Google: Exclusive Clubs, Bars and Spas where one could find some REAL fun!

And so, my trip to Vegas went from zero to hero!!!!

But, alas, Taxis are no more… And Im pretty sure that Uber drivers don’t get offered the same benefits as taxi drivers once did.

So, my question is: with the near-complete disappearance of taxis - who would one go to for such information?? Who do you turn to for advice on a city’s secrets spots??

Like, theoretically, if someone was going to Miami and wanted to visit some fun places such as massage establishments by Latinas (not the low-end Chinese ones) that don’t advertise anywhere- where could one turn to?

Thank you!!!
