About Las Vegas Airport
Las Vegas' Harry Reid International Airport (LAS) was the eighth busiest airport in the United States in 2021, handling approximately 39 million passengers. Getting around the airport will be easier with the help of this Las Vegas Airport map and LAS Terminals guide.
The airport has 6 onsite parking lots that are supplemented by several offsite LAS parking lots near the airport.
From 1968 to December 2021, the airport was called McCarran International Airport, after U.S. Senator Pat McCarran. In 2021, the Clark County Commission voted unanimously to rename the airport Harry Reid International Airport after Senator Harry Reid.
LAS serves as a gateway to the iconic Las Vegas Strip, the Grand Canyon, Death Valley, and a slew of other national parks.
There are exactly 110 gates to the airplanes at the Las Vegas Airport. These gates are split between two terminal buildings known as Terminal 1 (sometimes abbreviated as T1) and Terminal 3 (often abbreviated as T3). Each of the two LAS terminals has its own parking lot, baggage claim, and ticketing area, in addition to several different restaurants and shopping establishments to choose from.
Because there is no connection between the two terminal buildings in any form, all passengers need to be familiar with the Las Vegas Airport terminal map before arriving at the airport.

How to get between the terminals at Las Vegas Airport
Harry Reid Airport Tram
The airport tram transports passengers within the secure area between terminals and gates. There are three colored lines to help passengers determine which route they need.
Airport Shuttle Bus
The airport shuttle bus ferries passengers between terminals every 15-30 minutes. Because buses operate outside the secure zone, travelers must re-clear security upon arrival at the connecting station.
You can find bus departures at Terminal 1 on Level 0 across the pedestrian crosswalk. Terminal 3 also has bus departures on Level 0 in the center curb area.
Walking
Pedestrian walkways connect Terminal 1's A, B, and C gates. The A and B gates are just a short walk apart, whereas the C gates are a little further away. Therefore, passengers must walk via the C annex from the B gates or the corridor close to the A/B security checkpoint to reach the C gates.
