So it seems like US Airways is still in free fall while the other 2 biggies (Southwest and United) are bottoming out. The news is still lousy, but it could have been worse. I just hope the light at the end of the tunnel isn't an oncoming train, and more of the national economic news gives me reason to keep hoping.
Weren't the numbers last August already in the tank? I think gasoline was about $5.00 a gallon and people were already cutting back?
Could we get a chart superimposing McCarran's monthly passenger counts with Clark County's monthly gaming revenues for the past several years/months?
Thanks
: )
The mag-lev will fix all of Vegas' tourist problems....

I think a maglev train from Vegas to Pahrump is the best way to spend the taxpayers money
