twitterCasino games taught at London airport
Wednesday, Nov. 19, 2003 | 11:08 a.m.
MGM MIRAGE dealers are teaching Las Vegas-bound passengers of Virgin Atlantic Airways how to play blackjack, baccarat, roulette and craps.
In connection with the London-based airline's announcement that it would fly a fourth weekly round trip between London's Gatwick International Airport and McCarran International Airport in Las Vegas beginning in March, Virgin introduced a "gambling masterclass" at the airport and aboard Las Vegas-bound flights.
Virgin arranged for an MGM MIRAGE dealer to conduct gambling classes at the airline's Gatwick Clubhouse at the airport and on flights to Las Vegas through Nov. 25. Virgin flies a 439-passenger Boeing 747 jumbo jet to Las Vegas Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays. When the fourth flight begins operations in March, it will operate Wednesdays.
Virgin said it has flown more than 300,000 passengers between London and Las Vegas since inaugurating the service in June 2000.
