Note: in many cases there are shorter walks available to either nearby public transport that may be cheaper than the more expensive trains to the airport, or to nearby attractions. If you edit this wiki, please post those as well.

... but it seems so close? What a shame. When I was in Vegas in September I rented a car. Took the free shuttle to the rental car depot. There is no reason why you could not walk from there, but it is in exactly the opposite direction of the strip.
In other news, I was in Chiang Mai over the last couple weeks. Walked from CNX to Chiang Mai Gate. Took about 40 minutes with a stop for a cold drink along the way.

A few years back I walked the 3 miles from EAS (Hondarribia/San Sebastián) where I had just turned in a Spanish rental car, to Hendaye, where I was picking up a French car. A taxi driver quoted 20 Euros and it was 45 minutes until the Hendaye Avis office opened anyway, so I walked. An easy walk with sidewalks the whole way.

Although there isn't much to see in Cincinnati, there is the Airport Express bus wich costs around $2 and takes you downtown in less than 10 minutes.
I walked to BRU once, pretty long 2 hour walk and got to F1 Hotel, took the shuttle from there.

A nice length 30 min or so walk.... through a residential and industrial areas, past what seemed like a glass crushing/recycling factory which was rather furiously chomping away on bottles! this gets you to the Hotel Galilei which is 5-10 mins from the airport, theres probably a more direct route though

I've walked into town in St. John's, NL:
http://www.stjohnsairport.com/index/index.cfm
Takes just under an hour to the university, a shade longer to downtown. Don't try it in the winter; they don't shovel the sidewalks in St. John's and you'll have to walk in the road (seriously).
Of course, on weekdays you can walk 200 m to the left out the door of the airport and catch an hourly city bus into town ($2.25 instead of the $22.50 cab ride).

UBP in Thailand was a 20 min walk from my apt... which was nice because transportation options just didn't exist.
VTE, PKZ and LXG in Laos are also walking friendly.

I know what you mean about DMK. For me it's not really a great walking airport... especially with the heat. (Although anyone who walks from there is hardcore and certainly gets my seal of approval!) I might be able to make it to the RTAF Golf Course (a real treat when the planes are landing) or across the tollway to Don Muang rail station for a cheap ride to central Bangkok.

Vilnius Lithuania (VNO).
Walk out of the airport, a hotel to the left and a bus stop to take you to the city in the center.
