There was a long line, even the elite line, so we were a little concerned that we might miss our flight, as we were told it was a half hour walk to our gate. We left the America West Club 65 minutes before our departure, and our flight was boarding when we arrived at the gate.
If I sent a check for $10 or $15 and a description of my item and when it was confiscated, do you think they might return it to me?
I would imagine Vegas is in the same boat as Denver. In Denver there are 2500 plus items turned over in a week. There is no chance of getting it back. You highly limit your options when you arrive at the airport without time to deal with things that you may not expect to happen.
