Probably going to get a 3 or 4 times up charge unfortunately.

I'd imagine it would be a pretty high surge charge. $50+

Simple taxi will easily be your best bet here.

Wow 5 cars now.

God I hope they finally get to actually have cars. Put those permits they recently got on the road soon

Look up the cost per mile and per minute and try to add that up.

Considering they still only have Uber black in N.O. with limited cars, you will be lucky to find one at all.

I'd recommend taking a cab

Yeah, just catch one from any hotel. If you're in the Warehouse Dist you're never really further than one block from one.

The real answer here is to just walk, if there's no reason you can't.

I was wondering why the OP wouldn't walk

Catching cabs from the Superdome sounds like the real hitch in the plan. Through various means I can get downtown. It's that cabs are either full or complete assholes when you're trying to get out of there.

Hell I had one deny my fare on a random Saturday just a few weeks ago. They are the worst. I hate the bastards

Yep. You can probably catch one from hotel there, but getting back might be tricky later at night and coming from the dome.
Just tell your SO to pack some non-heeled shoes in her purse, grab her a fruity drink on the way out, and bar hop home.

We probably will walk, I just know that pulling an ice chest is going to be a pain in the arse

I'll add carry cash because the cabbies don't even lie about the machines being broken any more. They just tell you to frick off.

Real sweet crowd they are.

We could probably walk around the corner to the Renaissance and catch a cab I suppose.
