It’s almost fight night in Las Vegas – and Trump Force One skirted narrowly past Hillary Clinton (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/hillary_clinton/index.html)’s much smaller campaign plane when they both landed at McCarran International Airport on Tuesday ahead of the third and final presidential debate.
Trump's Boeing 757, the renovated commercial jet the billionaire has on occasion used as a backdrop for his rallies, is – like the Republican nominee himself - bigger and flashier.
But Clinton’s plane – a Boeing 737 – was unveiled to great fanfare last month.
Specially outfitted for a presidential candidate, it bears the Democratic nominee’s campaign slogan ‘Stronger Together’ on its side as well as her ‘H’ logo on its blue tail.
Trump, however, acquired his jet for $100million from Microsoft’s Paul Allen back in 2011.

Trump Force One is seen landing near Hillary Clinton's campaign plane at McCarran International Airport in Las Vegas on Tuesday ahead of the third and final presidential debate
He then decked it out in his trademark black and gold livery with the signature ‘Trump’ stamped across its side.
Inside, it was kitted out to suit the 70-year-old mogul’s ostentatious style – complete with suede ceilings and plenty of gold detailing.
The 757 is favored among presidential candidates, according to the aviation experts.
Both George W. Bush and Barack Obama flew 757s and went on to win the White House in 2000 and 2008.
But Clinton had traveled across America in her own plane for months while the reporters who cover her campaign followed in a separate charter jet.
A brand new Boeing 737-86J like the one she is now using would cost around $96million, but hers was first issued in 2002 for AirBerlin and she's leasing it from a Florida company, according to the Journal News.

A COMPARISON OF TRUMP AND CLINTON'S CAMPAIGN PLANES
DONALD TRUMP
Price: $100million
Model: Boeing 757-200
Size (from nose to tail): 155 ft
Nickname: Trump Force One
Special features: Double bed, spacious lounge with sofas and a 52-inch flatscreen TV, seats with 24-carat gold seat belt buckles and a marble bathroom
HILLARY CLINTON
Price: She is leasing, but a brand new version would cost around $96million
Model: Boeing 737-86J
Size (from nose to tail): 129 ft
Nickname: Hill Force One
Special features: Wi-Fi and broken up into four cabins - one each for Clinton and some aides; extra staffers; for her Secret Service detail and for press
The arrangement broke with typical campaign tradition – and Clinton’s penchant for drinking wine with reporters aboard Hill Force One, the New York Times (http://www.nytimes.com/2016/09/06/us/politics/hillary-clinton-campaign-plane.html?_r=0) reported.
Then again, much of the 2016 election (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/us_presidential_election_2016/index.html) has broken with tradition.
Trump and Clinton will face-off for the final time before Election Day at the University of Nevada Las Vegas on Wednesday night.
Already, protesters are planning to create a wall of taco trucks in front of the Trump International Las Vegas hotel.
Trump opponents are planning the stunt to demonstrate against the GOP nominee’s controversial pledge to build a wall at the US-Mexico border and force Mexico to pay for it.

Protesters against Trump are planning to create a wall of taco trucks in front of the Trump International Las Vegas hotel
The idea of using taco trucks to form the ‘wall’ came from a Hispanic Trump supporter’s assertion that without Trump’s border wall, there could one day be ‘taco trucks on every corner.’
Latinos for Trump founder Marco Gutierrez’s statement during an MSNBC interview in September sparked widespread ridicule online.
Meanwhile, a Trump impersonator stormed into the billionaire’s Vegas hotel on Tuesday claiming he owned it.
It was actually Mini Trump – a character from Jeff Beacher’s Madhouse.
The tiny version of Trump arrived with a motorcade and with a beauty pageant contestant on his arm, TMZ (http://www.tmz.com/2016/10/18/donald-trump-presidential-debate-trump-hotel-mini-trump/)reports.
Police and hotel security escorted the imposter out and he was given a warning for trespassing, according to the website.
