Everything closes after the security checkpoint at 11 PM. Except for $3 vending machines at Gate C. Oh and the stupid slot machines and Best Buy vending machines.
Wow, total TSA jerk today. Made comment, "There are fewer in that line people it's not a complicated math problem". The line in question looked more for airport employees and wheelchair bound.
Flying out on "B" pier? Thinking of getting something to eat? Stop at one of the other piers before heading over to your gate on "B"... nothing worthwhile having on "B" pier except a lot of junk food.
If you need a charging/work station - don't get on the moving walkways on your way to A gates--there's a handful of seats with outlets halfway down the hallway.
If you're flying Southwest, arriving here is a breeze. Avoid morning departure flights on any given day and be sure to arrive 3 hours early if your airline is departing at Terminal 1.
When flying in and out of McCarran you want to be on airlines that DON'T dock at the D gates. Basically you want to fly usair, southwest or spirit. However the new T3 might change that. We shall see.
Rental car situation is nightmarish. Nothing onsite. Shuttles take up to 30 minutes+ and the actual lot is nowhere near the airport. It took just shy of 1 hour to drop off car and get to security.
This airport was absurdly over priced (even more so then most airports). It was HOT and the smell of cigarettes and jet fuel made me nauseous. Despised my 2.5 hour layover.
If you are gambling in the airport, either a) you're a degenerate gambler and should leave Vegas immediately, or b) you are desperate b/c you spent your rent/mortgage money at strip club. Good luck!
