Harry Reid Airport (LAS), also known as Las Vegas airport, is about 9 km from the centre of Las Vegas in a straight line.
Arriving at the airport and finding your way out of arrivals
After landing, follow the signs for baggage claim and collect your luggage before heading towards the public arrivals area. Keep your accommodation address available, either on your phone or written down, as it helps with directions and pickup arrangements.
Look for official signs showing ground transport, taxis, public transport and hire car services. If someone is meeting you, confirm the agreed pickup point before leaving the building. Avoid accepting transport offers from people who approach you inside or outside arrivals without a clear booking or official identification.
Getting into town
A private transfer is useful if you want a driver waiting for you and a direct trip to your accommodation. Check the meeting instructions carefully, since pickup locations can vary and some services may ask you to contact the driver after collecting your luggage.
Taxis are available from the designated rank outside arrivals. Use the official queue and have your destination ready. Public transport can be a practical choice for travellers staying near a suitable route, but check current services, stops and payment arrangements at the airport or with the transport provider.
Hire cars suit visitors planning to travel beyond Las Vegas or explore the wider region. Follow airport signs to the hire car facilities, then check the vehicle condition, fuel policy, insurance terms and return instructions before leaving.
Popular transfers from the airport
Common destinations include the Las Vegas Strip, Downtown Las Vegas, North Las Vegas, Summerlin and Laughlin. A private transfer or taxi is generally most convenient when you have luggage, a late arrival or a precise accommodation address. Public transport may work well when your accommodation is close to a stop.
Flying home
For your return journey, allow enough time to return a hire car, find the correct departure area, check in and pass security. Leave your accommodation earlier if you are travelling during a busy period, returning a vehicle or relying on public transport. Check your airline and the airport for current departure guidance before setting out.
