"pros.. want to start gambling right off the plane? well you can do that in the vegas airport. a welcome sight for us who flew into vegas on friday 2pm, 8/21/09 off the southwest air from san diego (more on this later). the airport itself is big, sprawling, and with lots of places to spend your money. there are bars, restaurants and slot machines everywhere. \n\ncons... since vegas gets busy with lots of flights in and out of there, you sometimes get stuck on the run way as we did yesterday. no moving, just baking out in the nevada heat inside a flying toothpaste tube!"^^ .
