Comments on: A Memory of 9/11 https://www.lasvegasadvisor.com/frugal-vegas/a-memory-of-911/ A Las Vegas Advisor Blog from the "Queen of Comps" Sat, 25 Apr 2020 20:14:31 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.7.4 By: Kevin Lewis https://www.lasvegasadvisor.com/frugal-vegas/a-memory-of-911/comment-page-1/#comment-70335 Sat, 16 Sep 2017 03:13:56 +0000 https://www.lasvegasadvisor.com/frugal-vegas/?p=14475#comment-70335 To me, being patriotic isn’t about waving a flag. It’s about not needing a tragic/spectacular event to prod us into expressing, not just love of country, which is trivial, but love of our fellow man. The true patriots were those flying flags on September TENTH. And those promoting hatred and division now, whether they’re flying a flag or not, aren’t patriots at all, though they loudly proclaim themselves to be.

Watched the planes fly into the buildings as we packed up. Called Delta who said our flight was still leaving, so we drove out and turned in our rental car. After giving us our receipt, the guy told us the airport was now closed. We had no choice but to take the rental car bus to the airport, then find a bus to take us back to the hotel (NY-NY). They were kind enough to check us back in to our same room for the night. We were able to get a room at the Excalibur after that. We ended up staying 5 extra nights before we finally caught a flight back to Alabama. Vegas was a whole different place which we will never forget. All the marquees said, “GOD BLESS AMERICA”, they brought big screen TVs into the casinos so we could keep up with what was happening, and we had pauses where everyone went outside and sang patriotic songs together (including dealers and waitresses). We will never forget it.
