I live in the central north, and all my family lives in the central north, and I can imagine not getting a ride to the airport, the alternatives are just offensively expensive in contrast to what is 30 minutes of helping a family member out. also, 15 minutes of that is quality time talking about the travel together.

Have you been living under a rock? NO ONE goes to Vegas anymore.

Having just done this I challenge your premise.

I had to take my mom and sister to the airport, they needed to be there by 5, so I fought rush hour, in a snow storm, for 2 hours there and back.

But hey, sometimes circumstances are different! Need to be at the airport by 7pm on a Thursday? No problem. But its never that. Its always the busiest possible time on the roads, in the City and at the airport.

Driving people to the airport is like my own personal hell.

lmao probably because a train is actually useful and Elon's bizarre tesla tunnel is absolutely useless. He convinced a couple dumb majors to invest public transit money into his snake oil tunnel thus diverting the money from actual quality public infrastructure. Yeah Vegas sucks to get around in and it's because of projects like the loop

Amazon should get in the business of delivering people to the airport, lol. They're probably have a van in your neighbourhood a few times a day and have empty vehicles going back to the north side where their wafehouses are.

Sure, you just have to hop out here and there to drop off a package or two and then you're on your way!
