Remarks: I have observed many crosswind arrivals in LAS, some a bit hairy but none quite like this one. Flight 1850 flailing wildly on approach from MSP had to abandon the effort after several steep side to side swings and and a strong upward surge. The second approach was not much better but at least successful. It is not too often I become concerned for my own personal safety while spotting! Funny just after this the DE heavy turned out the approach and was seen circling east over the valley to take the 19's instead.Similar landings have been observed with 73G's and such but this is the first time I have seen such a large aircraft thrown around in this manner.

Remarks: With the sun having just risen our revised scheme (reflected in the engine) clad 321 leaves Las Vegas headed for the east coast. Shortly after take-off Nellis Air Force Base and The Las Vegas Motor Speedway come into view separated by the continuing Las Vegas Blvd North.
