Burgr

I couldn’t come to Vegas and not try Burgr by Gordon Ramsay.

Overall, I’m happy we went, the burgers are delicious and the prices reasonable.

It doesn’t beat the best, but easily lands in my top five of all times. The main downside is that a great burger has to pack all his qualities  into a format small enough to wrap, take away, and eat with one hand.

Being  served on a plate is a red flag in my book. Special mention to the bun though, really good.

On carry-on bags

I know quite a few travelers who always travel with a carry-on bag, and I see even more during my trips.

Whether the purpose is to save time at departure or arrival by not having to check-in and wait at the baggage claim, or to fight the fear of losing your stuff, you should know that this is not free; it comes at a cost, and that cost is my time (and the time of everyone else who did check a bag).

By bringing all your stuff with you, you slow down the security checks, slow down boarding procedures, and slow down everyone when leaving the plane.

On today’s planes where as many passengers as possible are squeezed, it’s obviously impossible for everyone to carry their bag.

As a  result, those who do are saving time at the expense of those who don’t. 

Airlines should charge for carry-ons, not for checked-in luggage.
