Kosher food at Las Vegas Airport (Domestic terminals)
Is there any kosher food available at the domestic terminals in Las Vegas Airport?

Closest kosher place is probably Haifa, not more than 10 minute's drive. Then Adar pizza - maybe 15 mins? and the other places are a bit further.

I was there yesterday - only thing I found was the bagels, cream cheese, muffins and cereal for breakfast at the President's Club (CO lounge).

Adar is OK but very expensive for a reg pizza joint

Slightly OT, but I'd respectfully disagree. Maybe it's changed hands, but I went to Haifa and was quite pleased - maybe it's changed, but service was good, portions large, price reasonable - so I would have no problem going back. I agree that Adar is just 'average' but the best place is 'Panini' - a milchik place close to Sababa (and the Shwarma place and Albertsons) which is superb - and I'm not normally a bit fan of these places. I went back several times and was really impressed each time.

Well in the end we were at the Haifa restaurant the night before and took food for the journey from there. The place was actually quite good. For the journey we took 'spring chicken' (what they call 'pargiot' in Israel, which is actually the dark parts of the chicken without the bones) and chopped vegetable salad. We reckoned that these would be quite edible cold. They were fine to eat cold. The restaurant even double-wrapped them in foil to allow them to be reheated on the plane even though we didn't ask for them to do so. However, the airline would not allow them in their ovens. Thanks everyone for the help.

Haifa is a 10 minute drive from Las Vegas airport?!
I'm realy baffled
My English head, has now come to the conclusion that there must be a resteraunt with the name of "haifa" near Las Vegas airport, right?

I am sorry, but you are wrong! 'pargit' is a term which may have once meant 'young hen' or 'pullet' just as schnitzel once meant a fried slice of veal (and not turkey etc). However, in the wonderful world of Israeli catering, pargit now means de-boned dark part of chicken. No more, and no less. Haifa restaurant included.

Pargiot in Israel is the deboned dark meat of the thigh.

If I am wrong, so are the dictionaries.
Morfix Melingo still defines פרגית as pullet.

So does Google Translate.

So what if the dictionaries are wrong? Big deal! I am not talking theory, but facts!
I live in Israel and I know precisely what is sold as 'pargiot'. My wife also knows precisely what she gets from the butcher when she buys 'pargiot'.

Look here. This is totally pointless. Why don't you just go to Israel and see for yourself. I have already explained that it is wrong from a technical perspective, but that is the way the language is used (just like any vegetable patty with breadcrumbs on the outside is called schnitzel).
