Las Vegas

McCarran International Airport (LAS) is the principal commercial airport serving Las Vegas, Nevada and Clark County. Located in Paradise, Nevada, McCarran is owned by Clark County and operated by The Clark County Department of Aviation. Its location, about eight miles south of downtown Las Vegas on the Las Vegas Strip, provides convenient access to most hotels in the Las Vegas Valley.

In 2004 McCarran was one of the world's busiest airports, ranking eleventh for passenger traffic, with 41,436,571 passengers passing through the terminal, and seventh for aircraft movements, with 544,679 takeoffs and landings. As of December 2004, Southwest Airlines operated more flights out of McCarran then at any other airport. Southwest also carries the most passengers in and out of McCarran. America West Airlines is McCarran's second busiest airline, and traffic will soon increase due to the recent merger with US Airways.

Other airlines that run hubs at McCarran include Allegiant Air.

McCarran Airport is unique in that it has more than 1,300 slot machines throughout the airport terminals. Maximum capacity for the airport is estimated at 53 million passengers and 625,000 aircraft movements.

As McCarran is predicted to reach this capacity around 2017, Ivanpah Airport is planned as a relief airport. Click here for more information.
