Flying from Chicago to Las Vegas

Trekking Through the Desert... LCS 2009

Wednesday, March 25 It seemed to take forever although the layover was only like an hour and a half. After finishing our plane boarding place, we foraged for food. We found a Quiznos and Steve almost ran into a security officer. We sat down and my sub sandwich fell over. Some fell on the carpet. The guy next to us laughed and told us he lives in Las Vegas. He's a fireman for Las Vegas and served in Iraq and Afghanistan in the air force. He laughed when I asked if everyone in the Air Force flew planes (I didn't know.) "No," was his amused reply. He gave us a flying tip since he flies about once a week: the best seats are above the left window in front of the wheel. We thanked him for the tip. Steve and I eventually departed on the flight. The person who took the tickets laughed and joked with the passengers. We then sat down next to a very kindly middle-aged woman named Diane from Las Vegas. She was funny. We were making fun of Capt. Dave. Captain Dave was too happy and too cheesy for my tastes! The flight attendants were happy and despite a bit of turbulence on the way in, the flight proved to be smooth. We finally made it to Las Vegas. The cab driver was kind and friendly. We made it to our destination: The Luxor. This casino had an Egyptian feel. Our room was nice and comfortable. Steve and I dined at the Pyramid cafe, which was tasty! We played the slots and did not win much. We left and was down about $40.00. I almost fell asleep at the slot machine.
