The problem with using Las Vegas (LAS) as a connection on a flight

is that an awful lot of people on the flight are headed to the casinos to gamble. There are a lot of retirees and handicapped people on the flight.

After you make the connection and are leaving Las Vegas you have a lot of pretty broke people on the airplane headed home in lousy moods.

The airport itself is a lot like the strip with all sorts of slot machines and gambling going on. I guess it's designed to try and recoup losses from the big winners of the gaming tables or maybe snag a few bucks from people with long connection times.

In short it is a three ring circus.

Still, I suppose it's better than many of the larger airports for making a connection though.
