With most countries we are friends with and around us (and including Europe) you don't need a tourist Visa. For some countries though you need to apply for a tourist visa which embassies agree on and allows you to stay in the country for a certain period. Japan is a notable one, mostly because the visa covers an entire page of your passport and it fills up quick.

I hate that Vegas is starting to sound like a secondary option.

We just have to stick to US cities for this little getaway. I also think I will transfer all these airtran rewards over to southwest because there are not travel blocks on southwest.

Get it a hell of a lot earlier than needed, mine took a month. I wasn't going anywhere in particular, I just wanted one and they are good for 10 years.
They aren't that expensive, almost everyone ought to have one, and they work perfectly fine as ID. Its a lot more convenient to hand that over to TSA in the airport than to dig your DL out of your wallet, and they look kinda cool, too.

Doesn't matter. Airtran international flights are an entirely different ballgame when it comes to rewards credits redemption.

A couple of years ago when I went to Peru I got denied access to board because my dumbass left my passport in my jeans and it got damaged in the wash. It was still readable but the guy at the ticket counter said I would be denied entry into Peru if I tried to give them my damaged passport. Luckily the federal building in Dallas processes passports same day. My flight was on a Sunday, the ticket agent booked me for no charge a flight Monday night.
Monday morning I show up bright and early to the federal building and had to pay $250 to get my passport done. I literally had a friend drive me straight from the federal building to the airport for my trip. If I didn't live in a city where passports were processed I would have been screwed and not able to make the trip.

Yeah and I was told that day that there was no guarantee that I would get my passport done in time. My dream trip that took months and months of planning, almost went to shit because I was too lazy too empty my pockets before washing a pair of jeans.
