Place to Make Out

Readers' Pick: MCCARRAN RUNWAY OBSERVATION AREA

Sunset Road, near Escondido Street
Day or night, you always see cars pulled off this little parking area north of Sunset Road, right in front of the runway where a plane lands or takes off every 90 seconds or so. But now we know what's going on inside those cars, and what the jets serve as a diversion for. Watch out though, a lot of tourists go there to take pictures -- of the planes, they say. Sunrise Mountain was the second choice of the few lovebirds who bothered to vote in this category.

Our Pick: LAS VEGAS DRIVE-INS

4150 W. Carey Ave.
The "passion pit" seems kinda corny in this day and age. But most big-budget movies nowadays are dumber than the cheapies that played drive-ins in the '50s, so there's better things to do than watch 'em. The drive-in used to be a tough place to get a little privacy, what with six screens surrounding a central concession stand. But a windstorm last year whacked the original screen, so it's a nice secluded place to park and tune the radio to the feature next door.
