The passengers waiting at Harry Reid International Airport<\/a> in Las Vegas after canceled or delayed flights this week have some new options. Rest at someone\u2019s house or go to a Vegas strip club.<\/p>\n

The alternatives arose after several hundred flights at the airport were either canceled or delayed starting late last week.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, as of 6:30 a.m. PT, 209 flights at Reid were canceled, FlightAware, a flight tracking site, reported. Some 46 flights were delayed at the airport by 6:30 a.m., too. More cancellations and delays are likely as the day progresses. The disruptions are largely blamed on winter storms.<\/a><\/p>\n

Nap on Couch<\/h2>\n

To make it easier for visitors, a Las Vegas resident is letting travelers stop off at her home.<\/p>\n

Sharlene Cribbs said they can come by to rest or even use the shower, according to KLAS<\/em>, a local TV station.<\/strong><\/p>\n

If I got a floor that they can lay on, or a couch, then they can come rest their head and take a shower,\u201d Cribbs told KLAS<\/em>. \u201cGet out of that mess down there at the airport.\u201d<\/p>\n

Free Drink, Lap Dance<\/h2>\n

A very different option involves a promotion at Larry Flynt\u2019s Hustler Club Las Vegas. The club will give a verified stranded passenger a free ride, first drink, and a complimentary lap dance. There is no cover charge. The promotion runs through January 1.<\/p>\n

\n

Ralph James, the club\u2019s general manager, explained, \u201cWe are doing our part by opening our doors to travelers who are most affected to ensure their extended stay in Las Vegas is a memorable one.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The option to rent a car<\/a> to drive home is challenging for many of these travelers, too. The sheer number of people looking for alternative means of transportation means the demand — and prices — for rental cars in Las Vegas, and elsewhere around the country, are escalating.<\/p>\n

Passenger Nightmares<\/h2>\n

Despite the options listed above, most travelers in Las Vegas remain at the airport waiting for the next flight. Among them was Reina Bravo, a Denver resident who arrived there after taking a flight from Maryland, the Las Vegas Sun<\/em> reported.<\/p>\n

\n

Bravo was supposed to have a quick layover in Vegas on Tuesday morning. But the airline with the most cancellations nationally, Southwest, canceled her second flight to Colorado. She likely will not be able to board a plane until Friday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

She has been in tears and has gotten angry at the airline.<\/p>\n

\u201cI just want to go home to be with my boyfriend and fur-babies,\u201d Bravo told the Sun.<\/em><\/p>\n

Another passenger, Ted Snyder, and his wife got a ride to Las Vegas from Fresno, Calif., after their flight was canceled. He was waiting at Harry Reid Airport to speak with a Southwest agent in an attempt to get a refund.<\/p>\n

The couple luckily was able to get a flight back to California on another airline. The Southwest experience was negative for them.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo one called. No one texted me,\u201d Snyder recalled. \u201cWe walked into the airport in Fresno, and they said, \u2018Your flight is canceled.\u2019\u201d,<\/p>\n

If you run a business, stuff happens and things get canceled,\u201d<\/strong> he told the Sun<\/em>. \u201cBut when stuff happens you need a plan to deal with the fallout. They don\u2019t have a plan.\u201d<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

As of 6:30 a.m. PT on Wednesday, 2,781 flights nationally were canceled. There were 1,304 delays nationally. Many were on Southwest Airlines flights. The airline has apologized.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
