Las
Vegas
airport
5th
largest
in US
March 16
Many of
our
online
casinos
news
readers
are
probably
wondering
why we
are
covering
this
story –
it’s
about an
airport,
not a
casino
or an
online
casino.
Well,
let’s
take a
quick
break
from the
online
casino
news to
talk
about
the
simple
fact
that
because
of
gambling,
Las
Vegas’s
airport
is
busting
at the
seams.
Last
year
this
airport
was 6th
in line
to
becoming
the US’s
largest
airport.
This
year, it
was
bumped
up to 5th.
This is
huge
coming
from a
country
with
airports
such as
O’Hare
in
Chicago,
JFK in
New
York,
and LAX
in Los
Angeles.
Annual
traffic
to the
Vegas
airport
is
growing
every
single
month.
Las
Vegas is
where
everyone
wants to
go.
Think of
it this
way –
the 5th
largest
airport
in the
US is
located
in the
middle
of a
desert.
Why is
it
gaining
in
number
of
flights
and
airlines?
People
love to
gamble
and they
love the
glitz of
Vegas
and
gambling.
Not
online
gambling.
It’s the
land-based
kind of
gambling.
Denver’s
airport
was 5th
in line
last
year.
McCarran
beat 8th
ranked
JFK. The
casinos
are what
everyone
wants to
see.
Actually,
Las
Vegas
has been
busting
at the
seams
with
airline
passenger
traffic
since
2001. In
2001 the
airport
saw 35.2
million
people
fly in.
Now, the
airport
has seen
44,280,190
passengers
in the
last
year.
We won’t
even get
started
on the
growth
in the
rest of
the
city.
There
are more
condo
communities
in Vegas
every
week.
Again,
people
love to
gamble.
When we
get
tired of
online
casinos
and want
to head
to a
land-based
casino
–we head
to
Vegas.
There
are even
non-stop
flights
from UK
each day
flying
into
Vegas.
