Does Spirit Airlines even fly into Vegas?


Yes. And Spirit is not good at all. I hate Las Vegas; it's crowded AF, and unless you like gambling and strip clubs, there's not much there (good shows, though). The driving is awful. Gets a little sketchy North of the strip. Even downtown Vegas is questionable. We stayed South of the strip off of Silverado. Way better.

That was a joke bro.

Every domestic airline flies into Vegas.

Post a review of Aspen in January. Let me guess: "Unless you like snow skiing, there's not much there."

I can confirm this.

I flew steerage on Spirit in April from Nola to Vegas. It was a direct flight. Only Spirit and Southwest have direct flights that I know of between Nola and Vegas.

I got to sit in the big seat in the front row to go. I bought the upgrade on an auction.

On the return trip, I sat in the in exit row next to the aisle same thing I put in a bid for a better seating assignment.

It wasn’t a bad flight either way except the Wifi didn’t work on the return flight and a drunk lady had the pilot turn around just as we were taxing to the runway to take off.

Seats were not that bad, except that you couldn’t recline them.

A buddy of mine left earlier than me the same day, and flew Delta or American. He had a layover in LAX, I beat him back to New Orleans even though my flight was much later.

I understand that when you enter the High Rollers Room, they just hand you a pair of dice and say "There's the wall, over there".

The entire concept of themed casinos is out-dated. Virtually all of the new casinos that are built in Vegas, and elsewhere, are not themed. And even the ones that are themed, it is a very low-key theme that doesn't dominate the property.


I dunno the Venetian is pretty badass

I can't wait to see Randy Watson & Sexual Chocolate's name out front on the marquee as the featured performer.

That's almost as dumb of an idea as a carbon fiber submarine.

I get that Harlem was all black back then but do they say that they are going to market/promote it only to blacks?

Lol, this isnt going to happen. The "developer" proposing this is a fricking joke and doesnt have casino experience.

Its just a headline being run for clicks right now.

The Venetian is 25 years old, but even it’s theme is not overbearing.

Virtually every casino built in the last 20 years was not themed: Bellagio, Wynn, Encore, Aria, Circa, Resorts World and the Fountainbleu which is currently under construction.

The Flight over was fine; the flight back was a seven-hour delay, including a diversion to Atlanta. One of the crew members didn't show up, and it set off this chain reaction. I flew out of Louisville (SDF), btw - direct flight.
