Security was a breeze, maybe because it is a Tuesday afternoon, but it only took 20 min from sig. at MGM to actual terminal. Very efficient airport. My advice , fly mid week.
Do whatever you can to have your boarding pass printed before you get there if you fly Delta, check-in lines and security are bananas. If you're running late, tell them, they'll rush you at check-in.
This is a very disorganized airport. If you are flying domestic overnight from terminal 1, beware. After 9:30 pm they close the security lines for gates C directing everyone to the further gate D
Welcome to McCarran International Airport, just five miles south of Las Vegas, Nevada. The airport covers over 2,500 acres and is named for former Nevada Senator Pat McCarran.
The car rental center is several miles from the terminal and buses to the new terminal 3 are only once every 20-30 minutes. Not convenient at all. People were taking cabs!
It's a *long* walk from ticketing to most gates, so leave plenty of time to make your flight. Rental car drop-off to Terminal 1 requires *two* shuttle rides.
A layover where you don't exit the plane can be a money saver vs. a terminal layover. Play the odds. Roll the dice. NB: The House always wins, in the long run.
