About Harry Reid International Airport

Harry Reid International Airport (LAS), known until December 2021 as McCarran International Airport, serves Las Vegas and southern Nevada. It sits in Paradise, about 5 miles (8 km) south of downtown Las Vegas and right next to the Las Vegas Strip.

Southwest is by far the largest airline, carrying about 40% of passengers, and Allegiant, Frontier and JSX also have bases here. The airport handled about 55 million passengers in 2025, with flights across the United States and to Canada, Mexico and Europe.

There are two passenger terminals. Terminal 1 has Concourses A, B and C, and Terminal 3 has the E gates and handles international arrivals. Concourse D, a satellite reached by tram, serves both terminals. Its 14,835 ft runway is the second-longest civil runway in the United States.

Most travelers head straight to hotels on the Strip and downtown, or to the Las Vegas Convention Center. A consolidated rental car center about 3 miles away is reached by shuttle bus.
