To land at McCarran Airport, you'd need to be in a time machine. Changed its name to Harry Reid International Airport, 4 years ago this week. Apparrently, McCarran outed as a racist and anti semite, hence the name change.
Oops sorry gents, last time I went was 2014 and had no idea it changed it's name.

Mmmmm, just googled it, but will allow others to do the same.  Must confess I'd never heard of the bloke but seems he did a lot of session work for the famous.  Think I might have had to do a 20 point question for his name!  🤣
