The check-in counter at the LAS airport is not as pretty as the ones back in other airports, it looks like a typical check-in station like any other ones in the airport. Their signature red wasn't found anywhere so they kinda blended in into the background. Our luggage was 3 lbs overweight and they had to make us take out a few items before we can check it in, no flexibility whatsoever. (side note: my sister had once traveled with a luggage that was at the exact size of an on-board luggage, but Virgin still made her check it in to make that $25). I personally think $25/luggage is a little steep because if they were offering any sort of other luxury then I would think its worth it. However, compare to the other airlines, they had to charge you $2 for earphone, no complimentary snack, and no legroom.
Then when we arrived to SFO, they announce our baggage claim was at gate 4, when later we found out all our luggage was actually coming out of carousel 3. Oops much? Virgin at Las Vegas wasn't the best, I would imagine other airlines might be a better choice.
