    Rename the international airport in Las Vegas?



    https://www.reviewjournal.com/busine...-reid-2280094/

    I say drop “McCarren” and go with Las Vegas International. And NO to naming it to Henry Reid.

    Side note- I remember the 1992 movie Honeymoon in Vegas where they referred to the “Las Vegas airfield” when the couple landed in Nevada. I’ll have to double check the video, but think that was what the female announcer said.

    Here's one of many reasons it shouldn't have been named after Harry Reid:

    Didn’t you read this part?

    ”Harry Reid is presumed innocent and may actually be innocent," Rawlings said in a written statement, adding that a "real, vibrant grand jury investigation" could exonerate him.

    OJ Simpson was presumed innocent

    As a former Nevada resident, I found out something on my own- a large majority of Nevadans are just dumb and make lame emotional decisions. And if you offer up a common sense alternative, you then need to just "go back to California". This airport renaming decision is a perfect example, as a true internatio0n destination, it would have been better to use "Las Vegas International Airport" instead. But no, we always have to be different in Nevada and buck common sense.

    Druff will like this-

    It was this way in the 90's as a NV gov employee. Short story- The Nevada DMV decided to be an experimental test animal for a new computer program called Genesis. We told our supervisor that idea and horrible and a two years later, Genesis was a major expensive FAIL statewide. But they thought saving a few cents was worth it, instead,m it costs millions to repair. This is why the famous gray and blue vehicle plates were removed from all vehicles, the Genesis fuck up. Again, Nevada gov failed thinking.
