Hey! I'm Mark. Are you on Continental 21?
Yup! Going to Las Vegas. I'm Sam by the way.
First time going there?
Nah! My uncle lives there. So I fly there quite often. Anything you want to know about Vegas?
Well...This is my first time. I don't really know much about the place.
Oh, don't worry. You're going to love it. No matter what your preferences are, Vegas has something for you.
That's good to hear! I'm staying at the Bellagio. Any good places around that area?
Are you kidding me? It's a hub of entertainment.
It's surrounded by luxurious hotels, huge casinos, delicious food and just about everything else you need.
Oh! Then I guess I made the right choice.
Sure did!
Hey, you look terrified. Everything alright?
I'm just afraid of planes. Besides that, everything is fine.
Oh! Take a deep breath. Let's talk and you can take your mind off the plane.
Well, I guess I can try that.
So, this is my first time to Las Vegas. I'm staying at the Bellagio. How do I get there?
Well, you need to take a cab. Just get off on terminal 3 and you will find a lot of them in that area.
Ok! No other options?
You could rent a car. Some rental companies have their stands around the airport. It might be cheaper.
Great. I'll do that I guess. By the way, we're already on the ground. I guess it did work out.
Seriously? Thanks.
Hey! Are you alright ? You look confused.
I've never been at an airport in my life. So I don't really know where I have to go first.
Well, for starters, where are you going?
I'm going to Las Vegas on Continental flight 21.
Ok! Let me see. First you need to check in at your airline's counter.
Yeah, I already did that. I got my boarding pass and checked my luggage.
Well, then you need to go through the security check.
Alrite. Anything after that?
Nothing much. Just go to your gate and wait for the boarding call.
Oh! That was easy. Thanks a lot.
Excuse me. I'm sorry but I couldn't help noticing that the book you're reading is really colorful.
It looks interesting. I'm Paula by the way.
Hi, Paula. I'm Angie. Well, it's a book for children. Do you like reading children's stories?
I think I read this one as a kid. It has stories of Brer Rabbit, doesn't it?
Yes, it does. It's by Enid Blyton.
Oh, I love Blyton! I've been reading her stories since I was 5.
Me too. Where are you flying to?
Quincy, California. What about you?
My goodness! I'm going there, too!
Well...This is my first time. I don't really know much about the place.
I'm staying at the Bellagio. Any good places around that area?
How do I get there?
I'm going to Las Vegas on Continental flight 21.
