Vegas air travelers had about a 1 in 5 chance of arriving at McCarran or another destination at least 15 minutes late in 2008. Philadelphia, which was far and away our most delay-laden route in 2007, gave up the top spot to Chicago-O'Hare, even with a lower percentage of late flights for both airports.

One thing that needs to be looked at at the International Airport is Terminal #2. I flew out of there at 0030 hours, February 14, 2009 back to South Korea. There was nothing open except for stale pizza. Burger King was closed as was the only bar. Of course that hasn't changed over the years. Why bother with international flights departing or arriving at Terminal #2? After all, that is only the first and last impressions that folks have of the famous Las Vegas International Airport. I have also flowen in and out of Terminal #1 and it is nice experience.
I must be missing something here. Oh, I know what it is! A story.
You guys have nothing to write about today? Not only is this uninteresting, it seems like you weren't really interested in writing it either. One paragraph, and I'm not sure what the hell it even says! And it took two people for this?
Yes...but there are nice slot machines!
