The kids are usually completely wired on the way down, and sound asleep from exhaustion on the ride home.

LAS also does a mountain of trade show business. That said, a lot of the shows I attend have begun migrating to Florida from LAS to take advantage of much lower costs, at least the ones that operate outside of the hurricane season.
LAS has always been a weird place. I work with two companies that have manufacturing facilities there. There is an economy other that the Casinos and the people who work in the non gambling industry stay in the non-tourist part of the city. There is probably no shortage of second homes there. All that said, I have no plans to head down to LAS or any part of the US if I can help it. I don't think people are heading to Conventions either.

Best WS should be doing is connecting into Delta hubs and feeding tracking.
