4 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 May 2012 NEW

I traveled to Las Vegas for the first time at the end of October. Flew back home from the airport on Halloween. On the day I left for Las Vegas, I was at the Fort Myers airport, Orlando airport, Albuquerque airport, and finally McCarran. So I was at all of the aforementioned airports in one day, so when I finally... More

I travel to Vegas as often as possible from the UK & I can never understand why the airport is so shabby & lacking in facilities. There is nowhere decent to eat, there is no executive lounge & no shopping. I have been delayed here & was nearly suicidal!! More

Currently the airport is having a new terminal built. The international depature terminal is poor given the rest of LV. With a mere handful of shops and places to eat I would not rely on a last minute bargin/duty free or bite to eat before a long flight back to the UK. I am sure the new terminal will be... More

My girlfriend and I arrived early to have sufficient time to eat before our flight and do some last minute souvenir shopping etc. There is not much here. Should have spent that extra couple hours on the strip More

As others have said the terminal is just OK with a small duty free area which operates the 'pick it up as you board the plane' system. Getting through security was OK as they seem to open a special line for international travellers. Just be aware that the rental car offices are situated off airport at what is an airy,... More

Be warned this is not a patch on the domestic terminal if you are departing through Terminal 2 for international flights, then dont arrive too early as there is not much to pass the time. The burger king was scruffy and not very clean, the pizza hut take away expensive and very few shops. More

Arrived at the airport at 9:45 pm for a 11:30 pm flight. They were beginning to board the plane when I finally reached the gate.The warnings from the flight attendants to arrive early are well founded. More

I flew both in and out of terminal 2 at McCarran. They are efficient at processing long lines of passengers, but found a few things surprising: - Full body scan for every passenger. Luckily they let me son and I pass through the regular metal detector as they can not body scan children. - Only junk food options once you... More
