Oops, add Atlanta airport to my list. I just remembered that I went to Atlanta for a job interview once, so I must have been at the airport! ---

Atlanta airport: 35 Grand Canyon: 26 Los Angeles: 39 Las Vegas: 36 NYC: 48 O’Hare: 38 Orlando: 39 Looks like NYC is going to be the winner. Anyone else want to weigh in? ---

This seems to have pretty well died. Final tally: Atlanta airport: 40 Grand Canyon: 30 Los Angeles: 47 Las Vegas: 41 NYC: 55 O’Hare: 45 Orlando: 45 So, NYC, followed by LA, O’Hare and Orlando tied for third, Las Vegas, Atlanta Airport, and the Grand Canyon is a fairly distant last. Interesting! ---
