Wayne Newton - Las Vegas airport. Wife and I were eating a quick bite in a quiet part of the airport before going through security. He and two other guys walked by and got on the elevator we were by. Doesn't get much more Vegas than that.

Not at the airport. But on Royal St, Richard Simmons went from asking how drunk I was, to crying, to asking me the good jazz clubs for him to check out.

I think I won the thread by having ran into and met the most famous, Muhammad Ali... hard to get more famous than him

That was in the Gulfport airport of all places too

Vegas and LAX would be the best airports to see stars and flights in and out of those airports.

I run into Jay Bilas about 50% of the time I fly through Charlotte. Saw Stevie Wonder there last time at like 6 am. He looked me dead in the eyes

I also had a run where I ran into wrestlers or had them on my flights.
-Alicia fox in ohare
-Sasha banks, Naomi and taming snooka from okc to Atl on their way to Orlando for WWE tough enough taping
-Jeff Jarrett in Charlotte
- the Nature Boy Ric Flair in Charlotte. He had easily the biggest crowd after him

Sadly, the only "famous" person I've meet in an airport is the nature boy Ric Flair. Good guy. He bought me a beer. He was with his wife and kids but he was appreciative of a fan.
I met Nancy O'dell in the same airport (Charlotte), and she was a bitch. She was fine doe.

Sat in first next to Lane Kiffin when he was coach of Raiders. We were stuck on tarmac at IAH for quite a while. He was flying into BR for Jamarcus Russell's pro day. Also on the flight was Phil Savage. He was with Cleavland at that time. I think Lane was hammered. There were several other scouts and pro staff guys on flight, but those were only two names I recognized.

I saw Craig T. Nelson at the Medford, Oregon airport about 20 years ago.

I challenge anyone to come up with a more random place/"famous" person combo.
