Pro Tips for LAS Travelers
- Friday 5–10 pm and Sunday noon–6 pm are the most congested times for departures — budget extra time for security and bag drop.
- The Strip is only 3–7 miles away, but taxi and rideshare queues can be 30–45 minutes on busy weekend evenings.
- Harry Reid has slot machines past security (yes, you can gamble while waiting for your flight).
- TSA PreCheck and CLEAR lanes are available in both terminals; worth using given the volume of leisure travelers unfamiliar with the security process.
- If renting a car, book early — Las Vegas rental demand spikes for major events (fight nights, conventions, New Year's Eve).
- Terminal 3 has better dining and shopping options; Terminal 1 is functional but basic — plan accordingly if you have a long wait.
- Checked bag fees apply for most airlines at LAS; be familiar with your airline's policy since Vegas souvenir weight can catch travelers off guard.
