In Las Vegas I waited 8 hours in the security queue last time to return back

don't think the US government will pay for it, right ?.
Did they have slot machines conveniently placed so you can play them in queue ?
(They do at baggage
claim, which also frequently causes hour + waits.)
Things can also be very bad getting into Xanadu.
The last time I went to Las Vegas (for the NAB, about 80,000 attendees)
I took a 6:00 AM flight out from DC,
arrived before the rush, and it only took me about 2 hours to get into my hotel
room
from the airport, maybe 2 km away. My collegues left later in the day, and it
took them almost 6
hours, including a 2 hour wait out in the afternoon Sun for a cab from the
airport and a 2 hour wait
to check into the hotel.
IMHO, the IETF is about two orders of magnitude too small to need Las Vegas.
Don't do it.

I don't think is acceptable, unless there is a commitment from the US
authorities to avoid this type of unfair situations.
Mexico is already in the queue to be considered and there are some other
locations in South and Central America which offered to host it.

Asunto: RE: Meeting Locations
Las Vegas has ridiculously cheap air fares, large amounts of cheap
accomodation and many hotels that have the necessary conference
infrastructure.
Cancun and Acapulco are even cheaper.
The Mexico option has the considerable advantage that non-US visitors do
not get insulted at the border by either US-Visit or the often
threatened visa requirements for countries that do not issue biometric
passports.
