It makes more sense to sleep at the airport. I knew a guy who used to do this at LAS but it was pre-911. But I still see people sleeping in airports, and no one pays much attention. These days if you want to sleep airside, where most travelers sleep, you would need a refundable air ticket so you would have a boarding pass to allow you to clear security. Then cancel the ticket before the flight for the refund. Seems it would be a hassle to do this every day. In New Orleans the homeless I've seen just sleep landside and don't pass through security. Haven't noticed visible homeless at LAS but I haven't looked for them either. I only sleep in airports when I am legitimately traveling, but no one has objected to my pillows, blankies, and so on. And airports are cool. Sometimes a little too cold, actually. You could die of dehydration in short order in a parked car in Nevada in summer. So you really do need to get indoors if you ask me. Oh, I recommend ear plugs and eye masks for sleeping in airports. There's a website that reviews the airports and tells the best place to sleep, but I usually just try to find a gate out of the way and curl up on the floor. Can't remember if LAS has those arms on chairs to keep you from stretching out on the actual chairs, but I'm thinking, yeah, unfortunately, I think they do. So it's the floor if you can't sleep sitting up. Still better than being boiled alive in a parked car.

Also, if you give any kind of action at many of the smaller Harrah's around the country, at slots or tables, they should be mailing you coupons like crazy for free hotel rooms, how do you think they have all those old folks playing quarter slots staying free in Vegas?
