From "many years ago":

N12345:
"Las Vegas Radio, this is N12345. Request airport advisory for landing Las Vegas. And would you please call Caesar's Palace for transportation?"

Las Vegas Radio:
"N12345, Las Vegas Radio. Stand by for airport advisory — and I will call Caesar's Palace if you want, but it will be 19 hours before they get here. This is Las Vegas, New Mexico!"
