I love watching this stuff, but all the lights look the same to me.

The trick is to pick out the airport environment lights out of the sea of other lights.
It wouldn't be the first time an aircraft lined up on a row of streetlights in preparation to land on what the pilot believes to be the runway.
When the airport is in a sparsely populated area it's much easier.

Out of all the cities I've flown to, Las Vegas was the oddest.  It's so flat and the city lights/limits stop as soon as it runs up against the mountains.

ATC just loves dipshits like this.  Wanna-be airline pilots.  It's like somebody wanting to drive their riding lawnmower on the freeway.

Bad Dog, sir. If you listen to the first part of the exchange, it appears the peter pilot was equally surprised at the ORD clearance. I suspect he was originally going to MDW, and something may have prevented his approach there. Can't really say for sure.  :confused:
