Here's what I have to say about Las Vegas: I saw more fake breasts during my hour-long layover than I saw in the past year combined. They have sharps containers in the airport bathrooms. They have slot machines at the airline gates. A woman on the flight, about 30 minutes before we land, pulls out her cell phone and MAKES. A. PHONE. CALL. Loudly. Does anyone beside me know that you can't use a cell phone on a plane, or is this purely insider information? I think I've fulfilled any latent desires to go to Las Vegas. P.S. The food in the airport sucks if you're veggie, but Taco Bell exceeded my expectations. Now let us never speak of it again. P.P.S. It was a stop-over on the way to Seattle. Much more my speed.

I have a friend obsessed with that town. -------- COMMENT-AUTHOR: Anonymous COMMENT-DATE:11:38 PM COMMENT-BODY:Seattle? You are so close. Next time you need your stopover here, and I could meet you at the airport. I would even bring lunch! -------- COMMENT-AUTHOR: Laura COMMENT-DATE:12:22 PM COMMENT-BODY:You know I've noticed sharps containers in more and more airport bathrooms. I don't think it's just Las Vegas.

I thought that you weren't supposed to use cell phones (or electrical toys) during take off and landing but it was ok during the flight. Is that wrong? What is your insider information? -------- COMMENT-AUTHOR: Anonymous COMMENT-DATE:12:39 PM COMMENT-BODY:You're not supposed to use cell phones at all during the flight. Different rules apply to other gadgets like iPods. I think it's funny that nobody yelled at this woman - bizarre.

Anyway, I've seen sharps containers in airport bathrooms too but I wish I could remember where - it wasn't Vegas. It could have been Chicago or else it was somewhere between Boston and Knoxville on a stopover which could be one of several cities so I can't narrow it down. -------- COMMENT-AUTHOR: Sabrina COMMENT-DATE:10:46 PM COMMENT-BODY:Hey, I won $200 on a quarter slot machine while waiting in line to board the ariplane leaving Vegas. Broke even thanks to that little machine.

Should have seen me getting on that plane with a huge bucket full of quarters.

Anyway.... -------- COMMENT-AUTHOR: Anonymous COMMENT-DATE:7:26 PM COMMENT-BODY:It's true that you're not supposed to use cell phones in flight, because they allegedly screw up the guidance system and could cause an accident. My thinking is, in these days of terror threats, if you can crash an airplane with just a cell phone, don't we need to make better airplanes? --------
