Most of the Gilded are Traveling via Limo to and from every one of their destinations. Had to pick up a Grand Kid at McCarran. While waiting for her flight,noticed the Limos going to and from the Executive Hangers. Watched ground crews bringing a certain Casino Owners 747 up to his Limo. One of the Terminal Employees commented,yah,they are afraid to come into the Regular Terminal.

Kidding; they won't even bother to explain this greedy theft of money from the public treasury. We might as well be serfs living in some alternate reality where medieval feudalism still rules in the 21st century.
