text: Oh Las Vegas Why is it called McCarran International Airport nnThis is one of my favorite airports just because it has that vibe of Sin City all over it There are plenty of billboards for the casinos and plenty of slot machines even in the baggage claim to take your money even before you leave the airport terminal It is probably the only airport I have been in that has casinos in the airport There are multiple levels to this airport so it is not just a floors but up to levels if I am not mistaken Considering how much people spend in Las Vegas I am surprised that the City of Las Vegas does not upgrade the airport infrastructure to meet todays demand for the every day touristnnThe only thing about this airport was the crazy TSA security lines There are plenty of people getting out of LAS at any given time Waiting for a taxi was not bad but there can be congestion when you arrive at peak times Taxi fare is not too bad ranging up to for anywhere along the Strip Over the years I have flown into LAS because of the lure of Sin City Lately it was due to the lure of the marathon Yep the marathon I was here to run the ET Midnight Marathon in Rachael NV Never mind about the glitz and glamour of the Strip when a marathon is ready to be conquered Had a fun time and wished I can come back But for now it was a fun weekend affairnnThere is free wifi and the food options were plentyful I am glad that there was a Starbucks in the terminal I was in or else I would just freak out The airport bathrooms was as clean as they come so that was not bad I basically people watched while waiting for my flight back home I did see this elderly lady scream since she won a small fortune at one of the slot machines nearby Thought that was pretty cool Too bad it was not me though The waiting areas were small and somewhat a bit cramped The chairs itself at some gates were small especially when it was next to a table with an outlet nearby nnViva Las Vegas indeednnC
