Las Vegas Selling Booze At Airport!

Las Vegas or as others know this place as 'Sin City' is now going to sell booze in there airport, the McCarran International Airport to be exact. This airport is the main one in downtown Las Vegas. It has been hurting for awhile now but due to numbers and revenue being so low they have thought this will be an incentive for flyer's.

Why would there airport revenues be so low you might ask? Well this particular airport has removed smoking access. Therefore there gambling is down as well. The idea would make the Vegas airport the first in the nation to offer such a service, so in turn this would help bring flyer's back into there airport. According to airport officials, visitors who go to Las Vegas often have their cab or limo driver stop at a local liquor store anyway, so why not make access to booze even easier? Could this be a bad idea? Well one county commissioner is not thrilled about the concept, He said this,
"What's next? Airport strip clubs? Topless bars? Is that appropriate for county property? I mean, that's 'out-of-the-box' thinking, too." Would there not be any concern that the baggage claim area is a place where people of all ages go while waiting on there baggage? There would be children involved in this decision. I mean at least clubs or bars when you are home you can leave your children with a sitter or family and go alone but at an airport what will they do? Would you be inclined to drag them into this atmosphere? Then again, Las Vegas isn't really kid friendly.

This liquor store is still in its early stages, and the commissioners are expected to vote on the matter this month. Yet, the airport has already determined that the store would be legal.This a good thing or bad?

"What Happens in Vegas Stays in Vegas"

With the job that I work at, I travel alot. This last trip was completely different
then what i have done in the past. I went to Las Vegas the end of January for Affiliate Summit. I honestly didn't think it would be any fun. Just work, is how I viewed it. Well.. like always I was wrong! It was an awesome place to go, parties, shows, shopping..etc. You sit near a table gambling and you get free drinks where if you buy them on your own then you pay nearly 12-15$ for one drink. For those of you who have never been, you can walk through all the hotels from one end of the strip all the way down to the other end and almost never have to walk outside! Of course there is gambling machines, and tables for Black Jack or any other game played on a table through out every hotel on the ground level. Clubs to party at all night long. Shopping as I mentioned earlier. There are cool sites to see. Awesome rides on the stratosphere. I was amazed what hotels had inside to offer while you are gambling. There are dolphin and lion habitats. Aquariums behind the station where you check into your room. Volcano eruptions outside to attract people to there hotel. They have pirate shows on the outside of Treasure Island hotel. They have the water fountain show. Which is awesome to watch. So there is a lot more there to offer then what I thought there was going to be. Something for everyone. Of course though I don't think I would ever take children there, but then again everyone different. Do you think Las Vegas would have this much to offer if you had never been? I definitely say that I would go back again. This time bring more friends and party all night! Have you ever been to Las Vegas, if so I want to hear what you did while you were there?!
