As you fly over the the city, AKA Sin City, a sense of excitement rushes through your body. Let the fun and games begin (and in some cases...let the work conferences begin). It's amazing how many people and different types of people choose to descend upon a place in the middle of the desert and the first thing they see (if traveling by plane that is is McCarran Airport.
One would think that the glamor and glitz of Vegas would be matched by the airport, but to be honest, this airport is nothing that what awaits the eye on the strip. Old airport, old feel, old fashioned. The only new in the airport would be the banners you'll find advertising the hottest show on the strip and/or the hottest technology company's conferencing on the strip relative to whatever Tech Convention is happening during any given moment.
The airport is relatively easy to navigate. At times the airport can get packed, so for all those with 6 AM flights after a long night of debauchery, you might want to just head to the airport straight from the club and pull off an all nighter.
Catching a taxi out to the strip? No problem. The taxis are easy to locate (just outside the terminal) and the long lines go by fast. Be prepared to fork over a good $20-$30 depending on where your hotel is located.
Free Wi-Fi is a big plus, especially when you want to upload all the pictures taken from the trip...but alas...remember that you can always default to "What happens in Vegas, Stays in Vegas..."of course use with caution as word can travel fast.
Sin City here you come!
