LAS VEGAS (AP) - A Las Vegas company says a visit to Sin City should start before tourists arrive at the destination, while they are still
LV Air promises in-flight meals prepared by Las Vegas chefs and fully reclining flatbed seats designed by casino companies in the first-class cabin. Recorded holographic images of Las Vegas celebrities will give onboard safety briefings. The 182-seat main cabin will have wireless iPads, Wi-Fi access, club music and mood lighting.
The Sin City-themed charter air carrier hopes to offer four nonstop flights a day from New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport to McCarran International Airport in Las Vegas starting in August, according to the Las Vegas Sun.
"The goal is to fill Las Vegas hotel rooms with players, conventioneers and vacationers from the Northeast by drawing a straight line between the customer at his home to the casino floor and back again," LV Air's top executive, Sean Smith, told the Sun.
To do that, Smith plans to offer "straight to the room" baggage service that would allow passengers who check a suitcase in New York to pick up their bags in their Las Vegas hotel room. Limousine service will be available between the airport and the hotel and between hotel properties and clubs.
Smith, a former executive at Boyd Gaming and a manager for Best Western, said the company's brand design is being developed by the New York-based Gotham Group.
"Our flights may not be the lowest priced, but definitely the most exciting to Las Vegas," he said.
Because LV Air is a charter carrier and is leasing its aircrafts, it doesn't need a Federal Aviation Administration operating certificate.
