Los Angeles to Las Vegas

The Airport Shuttle picked us up at 10 am. What a cowboy driver! Once arrived at the Airport we went straight inside to book in. All done by using the computer yourself for express Boarding Pass. That was fun, but we didn't have to pay for excess baggage due to our one way ticket.

We finally got to go through that then had to line up and go through passport check. Then another line to go through scanning. Water restrictions here. We also had to take our shoes off. All ok. Then a mile long walk to go to our plane - Gate 88 - the very last one. We got there with 10 minutes to spare. Then Clive had to book his carry on bag into Cargo because the plane we were on had small overhead luggage bays. All good though.

Why is it I always get the window seat boarding pass but am never allowed to sit there says Clive!!!

From the airport it is a short taxi ride to the strip and our hotel - Ceasars Palace.
