I flew a PA34 into Bris-vegas one fine sunny morning a few years ago, VFR, during CROPS, with no previously filed plan to drop someone off there, and they were the most helpful place I have ever flown into! Straight in approach, use of the high speed taxi way ('please keep the speed up and land deep, for separation purposes, 747 behind you - QF747 - caution wake turbulance precedding Piper Senecca!' - Brilliant sense of humour!), arranged me parking at the international teminal (yes, I am not kidding!) so my passenger was able to make her flight (bay 77 between Thai 777 and QF 747, and then gave me full length departure and wished me bon-voyage!

It's a shame that they seem to have gone the way of the every other major city airport...
