steve dave, please provide downtown Omaha suggestion by 5pm central time, tia

Go to the old market and bar hop. Blatt Burger near the stadium is good for casual food and craft beer. Mr Toads for booze if you can get a table outside. Upstream for beers. If you want amazing food go to The Boiler Room. Also fancy cocktails there.

Went to Blatt Burger and enjoyed. Did not stay out late as I am secretly 75 years old.

happens.   If mid-day there was a crew change and they had a delay on the other flight.

If first thing in the AM, then they had a delay the night before and had to stall to meet the FAA off-time requirement before flying again.

yeah I travel enough to know it happens, but it was airport wide. I mean they should have some people on standby. it happened to 9 flights out of the main united hub (Charlotte btw) we were delayed 4 hrs with a three and two year old who had been flying all day, so needless to say my life sucked yesterday /rant

I can confirm that is not a common HGI thing.

The Horseshoe Casino in Shreveport has jacuzzi tubs right next to the bed.  Weird.

There is elite security like this in DEN.  Most people go to standard lines and don't know about it.
