It’ll be better next year – promise

I was quite impressed by the organisation of the huge Consumer Electronics Show, but less enamoured with the hideous state of affairs at the city's McCarran International Airport when coming home. It took around an hour to check in and two hours to get through security, and I'm sure there were quite a few attendees vowing never to return. If they weren't saying it right then, they certainly were when they got home and had to explain to families why they hadn't brought any airport shop goodies home ("I was jogging to the gate, honest"). It was no surprise we got an apologetic email today from the show organisers, promising eight new security lanes (but are there enough staff for them?), off-site baggage check-in, and the completion of the monorail to link the airport with the nearby Strip hotels by the time everyone comes back next January...
