A taxi doesn't get the option to say "no" if you get in at a hotel.
Sounds like you tried to snag a cab on the street. That's not legal in Vegas. Cabs are not allowed to pick you up on the street. So yeah, if you tried to hail a cab on the strip and then told him you wanted to go 1500 feet, he's not going to risk the fine for a $7 fare.
As for how to make the trek from MGM to Paris/Bally's... If you REALLY don't want to walk and want to be cheap, take the bus. 'Course if there are 3 of you going, it'll be almost as cheap to cab it. Though you should be generous in your tippage to the poor cabbie who drew the short straw and got you after waiting in the line for 15 minutes.
