Are you kidding me? That's the big worry with the convention and visitors bureau?
Should they rename LaGuardia and Logan as well? I think the airport code should allow anyone, anywhere to find LAS.

I'd have no problem with them renaming the airport to Las Vegas International Airport, though that name's not flashy. Pat McCarran was not a good American.

Phoenix has Skyharbor, which is kind of interesting, Albuquerque has a Sunport, and Pan Am used to operate a "Worldport" at JFK. Maybe Vegas could be creative and come up with something similarly distinct.

Maybe WE could come up with a better new name!

How about calling it the "Las Vegas Slotport" (since it is an airport with Slot Machines)?

I don't know anything about Pat McCarran, but whatever they come up with has to be better than:

Bill and Hillary Clinton National Airport/Adams Field

And, its a tiny airport, for crissake...one terminal! Gimme a break. They hate Arkansas anyway.

Sorry for the hijack. Back to the topic at hand, McCarran.

I was wondering when a thread would start about this, so I propose that we come up with suitable names for Las Vegas's airport.

I think the new name needs to be Bob Stupak International Airport.

Although I thought that Anothony Spilotro and Jimmy Hoffa would also be suitable candidates.
