Take the boat. Seriously, I'd rather swim the Pacific than suffer it in slum class. If it was a private trip, and my current account didn't support a premium cabin ticket, I'd rather stay at home. Watching paint dry.

Location: LAS - where you can get married and divorced in the same 24 hour period. Perfect for the woman who's saving herself for marriage and the man who wants a one night stand.

Get cosy with the Venetian. Sheldon Adelson has 2 - 747's with 6 bedrooms on each. These are used for travel from LAS-SIN. Because they are private aircraft they have a limit of 50 pass. The ultimate in private travel, second only to AF 1.

Would you consider pavement with a sheet over it a bed? If not, I never sleep in beds in China...

I was on UA803 quite recently; if it's the 777 "premium" aircraft, each seat has AVOD, but no power point/USB connection. Whether the tvs work or not, well, maybe that'll be the next auxiliary charge...

I mean, I'd do this only if I could get an F seat on United from IAD to LAS of course. If I could only get Y for that part, I'd stay home.
