    I remember telling a lady in 2015 sitting at a slot machine in the middle of the concourse that she couldn't smoke inside the airport. She looked at me like I was crazy.

    I hope the creators of this documentary are aware of the cultural masterpiece they've created.

    There’s more history being missed here. Any mention of George Crockett, and his creating Alamo Field here, which is where KLAS currently is? Or the moving of the airport to 10 miles north, and then back to its current location?

    I worked out @ McCarran for Continental
    But didn’t make much $
    So I had to move on
    I enjoyed it otherwise though
    Just being around the airport and the jumbo jets is very exhilarating .

      I know !
      It’s so ridiculous.
      McCarran may have been an old school crazy guy but Reid is still worse.

      @@CSDonohue11 hardly. McCarran didn’t do anything for the airport. Patrick McCarran was responsible for creating the predecessor of today’s National Air System, but that is all, outside of being a senator for Nevada. The guy was a racist anti Semite.
      Reid, on the other hand, while not being as painted in any holy light, got the funds to renovate the entire airport. He created the corporate row on the west side of the field. He was able to get the old Terminal 2 demolished because it was falling apart, literally. He built the new tower as well as Terminal 3, plus got the funds to rebuild and reinforce runway 8R/26L.
      McCarran did t do a thing for the airport, and shouldn’t be rewarded as such for his racism. Glad that his name is gone.

    Makes me sick that they renamed McCarran after that slime Harry Reid.
