    The security line at Vegas always is a mile long, but it never takes more than 20 minutes to clear. Damn right I'd be at a casino with that much time to kill. Biggest problem doing this is the line for cabs; it's as though there are six vehicles servicing the entire city . . . and, of course, it's always one or two people per cab. But once you get a cab, you can be rolling the dice in 10 minutes.

    Only if you promise me there'll be friendly faces and happy hands.

    I won $1000 at a Reno airport slot while waiting for a delayed flight. It can be done. But it's not recommended that you try very hard.

    Yes, 4 1/2 hours is plenty of time to leave the airport.
    Grab a cab. Go the Hard Rock. It's not my favorite place, but it's convenient to the airport.
    I've done it. Last time, en route to NJ, I won $600 playing blackjack for three hours between flights.

    Just bet on the planes coming into the airport. I've seen it done plenty of times.

    I can't wait for a job that actually allows me to get out of the newsroom and have layovers.

    Definitely head out. It's Vegas. You're gambling. If you miss your flight you have more time in Vegas. I had a five hour layover and played two hours of blackjack at Paris.

    I can't believe nobody has suggested a hooker. I'm not suggesting it, but knowing the folks on this site, I'm surprised it hasn't come up.
