LAS Harry Reid International Airport (Las Vegas) Guide for 2026
T1 vs T3, the Strip transfer in 10 minutes, customs at the D Gates, lounges, and how to track every LAS flight in 2026.
Quick facts
Harry Reid International (LAS / KLAS), formerly McCarran, is the gateway to Las Vegas and one of the busiest airports in the US west.
- Terminals: T1 (most domestic majors, Frontier, JetBlue, Spirit) and T3 (international, Alaska, Delta, United international, Southwest international)
- D Gates: shared satellite, used for international and overflow domestic
- Time zone: America/Los_Angeles
To the Strip
A taxi from LAS to the south end of the Strip is 10–15 minutes. Rideshare uses a dedicated lot at T1 Door 51 and T3 west ramp — expect a 5–10 minute walk.
Lounges
- Centurion Lounge (T3) — popular AmEx Platinum lounge.
- United Club (T3 / D Gates).
- Capital One Lounge (D Gates) — newer, often less crowded.
Domestic mass-departure pattern
LAS has a unique Sunday afternoon "everyone leaves at once" pattern. Plan 2.5 hours for Sunday 1pm–5pm departures because TSA queues can hit 60+ minutes even with PreCheck in the slow lanes.
Track your LAS flight
FlightyFlow is a lifesaver for LAS Sunday departures: predictive alerts will tell you to leave the resort earlier if your flight has any inbound delay risk.
