Was just there at re:invent the other week, and I couldn't point to anything different about the airport WRT security and TSA. Very long lines, traffic in and out of the airport was _insane_. My last impressions of Vegas were the terrible traffic, long lines for a limited selection of airport food, but hey, if I wanted to play slots, there they were.

Yes, F1 had wrapped up the week ago, but it didn't seem like they were hurrying to take anything down.

Huh...I go to Vegas for DEFCON each year and have always found traffic to be a breeze and the security line never takes me more than 15 minutes.

As for the food...meh? I don't go to an airport for their Michelin-starred restaurants.

I have low expectation of airport food, too, but unless you get a direct flight at the right time you're going to find yourself needing to eat at an airport.

The section I was in had some automated sandwich kiosk and a burrito joint that had a huge line that wasn't moving. Walked to another section that had a Shake Shack and some kind of pizza place. Ordering at Shake Shack was fine but it took about 20 minutes to get my order. On the plus side there was an old guy who was also waiting and telling the dirtiest jokes to anyone that would listen.
