O2 at Las Vegas Airport, Breathe Deep

The Las Vegas Airport is designed to finish off those that fly in to break the bank. A case in point is the O2 Bar situated near Gate C16, pumping oxygen is the game. With the $15, “Businessman’s Special” you even get to keep the nose hose used to suck down flavored O2. The oxygen is sent through tubes of scented water, good for what ails you. Pick and choose relaxation, euphoria, hangover or becoming newly broke with no rent money.

From my spot just across the bar in the smokers lounge I watched various customers breathe deep for relief. It didn’t look like many businessmen were stopping by but many sad young male gamblers sure were. It may have had something to do with the exotic looking bartender that worked the O2. Included in the ten minutes of heavy breathing was her using some strange massage machines on sagging shoulders. I felt guilty as I exhaled from my cigarette, the smoke drifted straight across the concourse and settled above the O2.
