Las Vegas McCarran International Airport (LAS)

The most interesting thing about McCarran Airport is that you can start your gambling even before you've collected your luggage. Otherwise it's pretty much just an airport - there are shops and food outlets and so forth, most of which seemed to be closed when we arrived. We had no particular trouble locating the luggage collection area, and our bags came off the plane pretty quickly. We weren't travelling at a peak time in the week, so there weren't any major queues to worry about. The airport staff helped us locate the shuttle bus pickup area - not a pleasant area, I have to say. There was nowhere to sit until the shuttle bus driver elected to open the doors & ...  Read the complete review

I loved this airport, being near the centre of Las Vegas it has the hustle and bustle of the city itself, with lots of people going in and out and a really sense of excitement!

Nothing compares with your final approach to Las Vegas airport - it is even more stunning at night. Happy Landings ______________ If arrival at this airport is your first entry into Las Vegas - then it is certainly consistent with Vegas being unlike anywhere else in the world. I have driven to Vegas from LA & Sand Francisco - but nothing could beat the neon feast that meets your eyes as you approach the runway. The sheer size of today's strip and the casinos that line takes your breath away. We flew in on a particularly clear night - the pilot advised us he could see Vegas's lights from about 100 miles out!
