Korean Air to Launch Flight to Las Vegas in September
By Kim Rahn

Korean Air will operate non-stop flights between Inchon and the U.S. city of Las Vegas from September, the carrier said Tuesday.
Korean Air president Lee Jong-hee announced the service launch during a media briefing for the 6th anniversary of the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority’s Seoul office.
Terry Jicinsky, senior vice president of marketing at the authority, and Bruce Bommarito, executive director of the Nevada Commission on Tourism, attended the briefing.
Three weekly flights will link the two cities from Sept. 22 _ a 301-seat B777-200 will depart Korea every Tuesday, Friday and Sunday.
Korean Air, the Las Vegas authority, and the Nevada commission also signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to jointly promote tourism to the leisure and convention city.
The agreement confirmed the three parties’ cooperation and commitment to developing travel programs to Las Vegas. They will also promote the Inchon-Las Vegas route to other Asian countries, as Korean Air will be the only airline linking Asia and Las Vegas from October when Japan Airlines stops its operations.
``Charter flights for Las Vegas have always been full. Las Vegas is more than a casino city, it is the center of international conferences and conventions, where business and entertainment converge,’’ Lee said.
According to data, 68,000 Koreans visited the city in 2004, but the visitors’ authority suspects the actual number is much more and will increase.

Anche loro a Las Vegas? Ma ci vanno tutti? Non era una città in mezzo ad un deserto?

mai sentito dire "Ceasars Palace"... Casinò??????
Ho capito che nn è Chicago a New York, ma diamine...
Las Vegas è sempre stata la città del gioco d'azzardo e negli ultimi 15 anni ha avuto un boom edilizio/urbanistico senza precedenti negli USA. Sono stati costruiti dei nuovi mega-hotel casinò con migliaia di stanze, tra i quali si ricordano: Luxor, Bellagio, Paris, Montecarlo, Mandalay Bay, Venetian, MGM Grand, Stratosphere, Treseure Island, ecc. ecc.
Il Cesear's Palace è uno di quelli storici, di recente è stato ampliato con un'ala tutta nuova...
L'unico vettore europeo che ci vola è VS (credo ci voli ancora)...
Anche BMI ci vola (o volava?) con 767... Ricordo le foto dell'aereo in questione in livrea "Star Alliance", davvero orrendo.
