Because it's hard to go a day or two without a link to the NY Times....here's today's: Work Out or Play the Slots, All Between Flights.
I love airports. And McCarran is the most interesting one I've ever seen. The minute you get off of your airplane, you know you are in Vegas. Why? First, the cigarette smoke wafts your direction. Then you hear the bling of the slot machines. Even the carpeting looks like it belongs in a casino, with its large, gaudy patterns. How fantastic!
Another fantastic thing about airport diversions, is, of course, the Gap. This summer, I got delayed out of Pittsburgh and held over in Altlanta....good thing both had airmalls! Even though I didn't buy anything, I was able to have my fill of quality Gap fashion... Yup, I'm a capitalist's dream. ;)

Least favorite: LAX. It's just pure hell.
