Most of you know I had a real mission getting out to Vegas from Australia with lots of flight delays totally over 30 hours.
Well ive been at vegas airport twelve hours today and now my flights cancelled. Stuck in Vegas for another night!!!
UNITED AIRLINES Suck.
But at least they gave me a hotel and upgraded my flights to Business Class tomorrow!

you should be a millionaire by the time you leave if you just hang out at the blackjack tables.

They were in Chapter 11 bankruptcy from 2002 until earlier this year... not the best airline to fly, IMHO. I fly Delta (being in Cincinnati, that's pretty much the only option) or Continental, personally.

Delta or Continental is also on the brink of bankruptcy, aren't they? The only airlines doing well in US seems to be Southwest.
Have fun in Vegas.

I fly JetBlue, very very nice and clean planes with lots of TV Channels  More than what you get in the hotel. But they don't fly to australia I dont think 
Good luck though.

You have my sympathies. I didn't spend 12 hours there, but I did spend a long chunk of the day standing in line at the UA counter to get my flight changed because the delay meant that I missed my connecting flight. They finally managed to get me home, but my baggage is still in some city other than the one I live in.
As you've probably discovered by now, the Vegas airport has a few restaurants in addition to fast-food places, a post office, a fitness centre, and Internet access (if you can access it). And lots of gambling opportunities for those who want one last chance to try to win back what they lost.

Matt,
I was waiting 6 hours for a 40 minute flight to LA with United. They well and truly do suck.
I feel for you.

No one leaves Vegas with money in their pockets....no one.

I had a time getting out as well. Vegas seems to be one of those places that's easy to get to, not easy to leave.
Not that there's anything 'wrong' with that.

Poor Dan, It was easy getting out of vegas but we ended up landing in Pittsburgh for 2hrs or so, I must admit jetblue did a good job overall informing us what was going on etc..and got us home safely

Delays seem to be part of the norm leaving Vegas. My flight was delayed due to metal debris on the runway.
