The best odds in Vegas can't be found on a blackjack table.
They're in real estate, and McCarran International Airport in Las Vegas, Nev.,
is a prime example. The airport is planning to build 34 new gates and a new
terminal and add nifty state-of-the-art baggage-screening equipment to handle
the estimated 55.6 million (up from the current 35.2 million) fortune-seekers
expected to swarm to the air-conditioned desert by 2015. "The hotels have
created the demand," Randy Walker, director of the Clark County Department
of Aviation, told the Las Vegas Review-Journal. "And we never want anyone
to say the reason they couldn’t grow, hotel rooms couldn’t be built or the
(businesses) already here can’t be successful was because the airport was a
constraining factor."
