Bill Simmons writes his first Vegas column in years. My favorite part:
When I used to fly to Sin City, it always gave me a rush when my plane descended and we could glimpse the casinos for the first time. (For one March Madness trip coming from Boston, we were landing at night and someone screamed out, "VEH-GAAAAAAAS!!!!" and started applauding. Half the plane started clapping with him. Name me another city that causes this reaction. You can't.)I can think of one place- Israel. Not sure if this is par for the course on El-Al, but when our plane landed in '95, there was certainly a round of applause.
