Las Vegas Airport

Just went through security at McCarran airport. The TSA members there were very rude and incredibly unhelpful. They even treated the elderly passengers very inconsiderately. Loved Las Vegas but the service in the airport will definitely have us thinking twice before returning. Customer service must not be a job requirement as there was absolutely none shown. Having traveled to various locations I can honestly say that this was one of the worst experiences that my family and I have ever experienced.

Waking up at 4 in the morning isn't something most of us would enjoy, waking up in at 4 in the morning to catch a flight probably seems even more dreadful to some. I don't expect much from airports when traveling based on the fact they are designed to harbor the vehicles taking us from point A to B, but Terminal 3 at McCarran International is just amazing. By far one of my favorite airports, free wifi and slot machines to entertain you, a truly unique experience. Plenty of shops and restaurant options, whether you want fast food or gourmet they got it, want to shop for quality perfume or maybe a magazine for the flight, it's all available here. If you have the option, ensure you depart/arrive at Terminal 3, lack of foot traffic(It was recently constructed) makes it clean and gives it a new, "modern" feel.

Flew JetBlue Airways between LGB and LAS. Terminal 3 at Las Vegas is one of my favorites. It has an airy feel with very comfortable seating. Terminal has a variety of dining options to choose from. Free wifi works very well. Security during afternoon takes a little longer because of the international flights departing from T3 (British Airways, Virgin Atlantic etc.) Baggage claim area is enormous. If you are used to the chaos of Southwest Airlines Terminal 1 at Las Vegas, then flying JetBlue Airways from Terminal 3 will feel like heaven.

Flew out of McCarran on a Saturday night with my fiancee. As my only experiences prior to this for departing flights were at Phoenix Sky Harbor and at LAX, I was expecting a bustling, intense, borderline-impossible check-in and security screening process. We got dropped off at the Terminal 3 entrance (we flew Frontier) and I kid you not, within 30 minutes, we were checked in, screened through TSA (their agents were incredibly friendly and humorous) and shuttled to our gate through the people-mover system they had. I was most definitely blown away by the efficiency and level of service that McCarran had to offer. For a big-city airport, it certainly had a small-town feel with the high speed of check-in and high quality of service. It was worth driving 200 miles one-way from Southern California, as opposed to driving 80 miles to LAX. Would fly from here again in a heartbeat.

Las Vegas airport was clean and aesthetically pleasing with a simple transfer yet the staff well the majority are. Grumpy and rude with few manners and are not good at their job. The restaurants are few and of low quality with little to offer the only positive is that. The gates are huge with plenty of seating and the scenery is spectacular.

I transited through Las Vegas while traveling on Southwest Airlines from John Wayne Airport to Houston Lobby. What makes Las Vegas the most unique airport in the world are the slot machines inside the Terminal. Passengers are welcome to try their luck at the slot machines while waiting for their flight. Since Vegas is a hub for Southwest Airlines, their terminal is very busy. As a result, the seating areas and restrooms tend to be crowded. McCarran Airport does offer free wifi. The airport also boasts views of surrounding mountains, and the world-famous Las Vegas Casinos.

The airport upon our visit in September 2014 was clean efficient and spacious in the new terminal. The security process which does take too long in most US cities was up to the excessive time scale I have become accustomed to. However luggage handling collection was much improved. My negative experiences on my last two trips has been the very low standard of the counter staff at the airlines check in desk. On this occasion she insisted on me having a China visa in my passport to visit Hong Kong which is not required. I showed her my HK resident card but she insisted on a visa was dismissive and ignorant of the visa requirements for entry and refused to check them. Eventually she checked myself and my partner - but at other ends of the plane even though we checked in very early. This was corrected elsewhere. American and United airlines seem to have the most rude check in staff. Happy with the others.

I have used this airport many times mainly terminal 1 D gates and the terminal 2 and 3. However I used the B gates a few days ago. It is definitely dated compared to the D gates and terminal 3. However the place was a dump with rubbish strewn all over the seating area this is really is inexcusable.

Had a run in with the worst 2 ignorant people at security at this airport and I've been to about 10 airport's in my time and they took the cake its bad when the guy behind you even notices and says they love their job don't they as I shake my head in disbelief. Maybe this is typical behavior of airport security but this experience at McCarren airport was horrible. Oh and this great new D and E gate terminal is so great with its horribly small seating area but wait! There's a whole bunch of slot machines where the seating should extend so passengers don't have to stand for hours. What a joke.

A great airport! Slot machines everywhere smoking lounges just the vibe of Vegas everywhere! The baggage area is easy to find lots of signage for which belt your bags will be on and a boatload of ads for shows and such.
