I love when an airport gives you a taste of the city
the moment you walk into the terminal after getting
off the plane. This airport lets you see the lights
of slot machines and hear their hypnotic hum pretty
much immediately. If you leave this way, it's also
the LAST thing you hear and see before getting on the
plane so this gets embedded into your brain as a lasting
Vegas memory to haunt your dreams until you return. Heck,
they might as well let those little guys from the
Strip hand out their stacks of business cards of various
testicular pressure reduction technicians as well - just to
keep it real. You get further into the airport and there
are cigar shops all over. Wow...
The real fun, however, is figuring out how to get to the
Strip - or wherever you're headed. Taxis are pricey and
you want to save that for the slot machines or technicians
or however you plan to have fun here. So I went with Executive
Airport Shuttle - they have a ticket booth right outside
the terminal. I think it was Six bucks plus suggested tip to
get to your hotel.
