On a layover yesterday at the Las Vegas airport, the slot machines, advertisements for a chance to shoot a real machine gun, and overload of rhinestone bling on women’s sandals and hair accoutrement made me so queasy I was tempted to pay $16.99 for 10 minutes at the Airport’s Oxygen Bar to revive myself. I was careful not to miss my plane out of there. Viva Las Vegas!
