Thanks for that link. NY Times article seems to explain why the hijackers spent so much time in Vegas. Amazing they didn't think the added cost of round-trip tickets was worth the investment.
I suspect Atta and his friend deliberately showed up at the last minute for their flight in Portland. I think Atta was already sick with anthrax at that point, and that the last-minute rush was to be his excuse for sweating so much.
