champagne on board?
Hello. My brother is going to be flying dfw-las for his 40th bday and rather than drop a ridiculous amount of money at his hotel for a bottle of champagne at the Venetian he wants to bring a few bottles of his own on carry on luggage. Are there any airline regs prohibiting this? Any TSA restrictions? He won't be consuming it on board, just taking it with him (unopened of course).
Thanks!
Thanks!

He should have no problem unless the TSA luggage thieves dont repack it well and it breaks. They dont repack my personal and office stuff too well. Personally I would buy the bubbly in Las Vegas at a liquor store. There seems to be one every 200 ft

Unless you are bringing rare expensive bottles of champagne I concur with the others that you should just stop at a local liquor store. Liquor stores are plentiful. On our last trip to Vegas we made a liquor store run on the way to the hotel and this definitly saved us a few bucks. We also picked up bottled water which is quite expensive in the hotel gift shop.

Was in transit to Canada so U.S. customs didn't care. Canadian customs didn't care too much either. Not enough to levy a duty at any rate.
