Goodness Gracious Me,
All in quarters from the slot machines

Seriously though, BA fly to MCO, which can't have much non-self-loading freight either, nor is it much of a business destination
AFAIK. LAS has lots of weekenders coming from California, with a great deal of effort going in to target conventions mid-week, some of which must have a reasonable proportion of UK visitors.
LAS is also much more of an adult, rather than a family destination, so surely the average spend per person trip (and therefore propensity to pay more for a premium seat) is much higher than MCO? Maybe there aren't that many Europeans who will pay good money to see replicas of Venice or Paris, when we can get to the real thing for peanuts, but the newer resorts are aiming for a much broader appeal. Or do they need something even more kitch (I believe a London Las Vegas has been talked about) to attract more British punters?
