There was a crazy long queue in the taxi rank at the Vegas airport, but it moved fast -- and time passed quicker when I ran into @miiiike in the line! It didn't take too much work to persuade him save some time in the line and share my taxi.
We rode together to Harrah's, where Mike is staying. Then I used the service corridors to make my way to the Venetian. You might have seen such corridors featured in Ocean's Eleven. These were less glamorous. I had to be escorted by security officers only twice -- a great start to the week!
