If we’re going to name the airport for Harry Reid, we need to have his name changed to Sen. Crappy McToiletface, and THEN rename the airport for him.

A tiny ray of hope......Las Vegas isn’t your run-of-the-mill burg when it comes to No Nonesense law and order.

Vegas is the town that put OJ in the slammer when California and the Feds couldn’t or wouldn’t do it.

how silly. Obviously you know little about the city. Las Vegas has a wonderful community, outside of the tourist area

Was his statement by chance issued from the senate office building named for Richard Brevard Russell?

Reid wouldn't want that. Sinatra and Martin were Reagan supporters.

Probably .0001% of anybody knows who in hell McCarran was in the first place so who cares?

I care. I consider McCarran a Cold War hero who helped rid Washington of Russian spies.

Las Vegas has some great eateries outside the tourist area such as Cugino's delicatessen on Maryland Parkway, owned by an Italian family--not by Middle Easterners, as are many "Italian" eateries in Southern California. Teriyaki Time, which is nearby, has good Japanese-Korean food. And at lunch time, Rincon Criollo on Las Vegas Blvd. is filled with Cubans who know where to find good Cuban cuisine.

Las Vegas is nothing more than a sheethole with rhinestones and glitter anyway.

Wow.

What an embarrassing and ignorant post.

You're better than that.
