A few travel stories that caught my eye this past week:
Tiny Texas town is heading to Las Vegas for vacation. It's free—but the
citizens have to appear in Sin City tourism ads. [AP via Yahoo]
Amsterdam to close sex shops, brothels, marijuana cafes The mayor's plan would "cut the sex windows and marijuana cafes by more than half." [Tripso]
Passports with Purpose Travel bloggers holding a raffle to benefit Heifer International. [Wanderlust and Lipstick]
Europe's Christmas markets The Christmas market is "for Nuremberg what the Oktoberfest is for Munich." [Christian Science Monitor]
Five things I hate about airports Surprisingly, "lack of decent seats" didn't make the list. [Travel Rants]
Personalized in-flight mags at Heathrow HSBC is running an airport promotion that lets you pick from a bunch of articles to make your own ideal mag. But will it end up being more entertaining than flipping through SkyMall? [Springwise]
Is there a "Flat Tire Rule"? On some airlines, if you show up less than two hours late because of a flat tire or similar emergency, they'll put you on standby without a fee. [Airfarewatchdog]
