Anyone else in Las Vegas Airport by chance?

The entire airport's power has been down about 20 minutes now and they haven't made any announcements.

Lots of people are sitting at slot and poker machines looking pissed off. I wonder how it works when you had money in and then this happens?

So how are you posting and how would they make announcements without power?

The airport should have lots of huge backup generators.

Um...why would you assume I can't be online if the airport doesn't have power?

I would assume someone would be running around telling each gate crew what's going on and if flights will be still taking off or what is happening. Seeing as there are a couple thousand people around me wondering what is going on since no planes are moving and everyone is starting to think we're majorly delayed - that might be a good idea.

Were your questions above legitiate or were you just trying to be a troll?

Generally airport generators supply ATC and other essentials...not so much the terminal

I'm sure they do. Currently only the emergency lights are on, but that's it. No monitors telling about flights, all businesses have closed, all machines shut down, etc...

I like blackouts. Though yours isn't nearly as fun since it's sunny out.

Upon power restore on a slot machine, the stored contents of NVRAM are used to reset the machine back to the last used state.

Any play that has begun and not completed is voided and the bet is credited back to the player.
