Las Vegas airport....you are an odd bird. You are so easy.... You are so convenient... So tempting with your slot machines and your panoramic views of the strip, a harbinger of good times to come. I wish that I could resist your allure.... But I cannot. Those flying machines that depart from your runways are just too much of a draw... Too fast... Too sleek... Too easy an alternative to driving over the Rockies when I need to get to the in-laws in Denver for Christmas.
I'm sorry McCarran, but on the outside I give you five stars.... but inside... You just don't shake up to your peers. Your food offerings are mediocre at best... Your terminals are split (if you are in T1 or 2 trying to get to three... You are basically SCREWED)... Your parking is expensive. Your Security lines usually seem understaffed. Few pro tips:
1. Restaurants will give you alcohol to go. Because..... Remember what city you're in.
2. Park somewhere else and cab/uber it... MGM has a nice parking lot.
3. Now open at LAS: Uber. Half the price of a cab. If you like money... This is a no brainier.
4. Those machines by your gate with the fun sounds and shiney lights?..spoiler alert: they are programmed to take your money. Do yourself a favor and just do a sudoku.
Despite what Jim Carey says in Liar Liar... True beauty is on the inside (that's not just something ugly people say). And what's on the inside of Mickey C's is just not all that great. Get in and get out. But that's about it.
