Not sure what is safer, walking with luggage in 110 degree heat during the day, or at night where it is basically "just say no" scenario clip the whole walk?
I generally just have a backpack I think, maybe I had a roller, I don't remember.
This basically occurred like 6 or 7 years ago when all of us coming there pretty much flew in at different times/from different cities.
My one friend that flew in at like 9 PM when most of us were already well on our way, walked into the casino and we asked why he got there a bit later than he landed. "I walked from the airport." He's a loose cannon so we kinda just laughed our asses off.
This was also the time that I stayed a 3rd night and it was just the aforementioned walker and me on the final day. That morning, I blew past whatever budget I had for gambling and that friend actually cabbed/shuttled to the airport like 5 hours before I was supposed to fly out. So as a broken/broke man, I figured I'd try out his theory since I was in no position to do anything productive there anymore. I think it was a 55-60 degree January day there so it was comfortable.
Right before he left we did laugh that on the monorail map at whatever hotel we were at, in big red letters, the airport stop read: "Not in walking distance" on the airport stop.
It was a hilarious experience that our one dumbass friend started. I doubt I'd actually do it again unless I was somehow in the same position of being stuck there with no money on a 60 degree day.
