Key Facts about Harry Reid International Airport (LAS)
Harry Reid International Airport (LAS) is the primary commercial airport serving Las Vegas and the Valley in Southern Nevada. It is located approximately 5 miles (8 km) south of downtown Las Vegas, in the area of Paradise, and covers 2,800 acres of land. It serves approximately 54.9 million passengers annually, operating around 500 daily flights to over 150 cities worldwide. Southwest Airlines uses LAS as its western hub, and the airport is also a significant base for Allegiant Air and JetBlue, alongside more than 30 other operating airlines. The rental car at Las Vegas Airport is located approximately 3 miles from the airport, accessible via free shuttle buses from both terminals, housing all major rental car companies in one facility.
LAS has two main terminal buildings: Terminal 1, which is the primary domestic terminal with flights operating from the A, B, C, and D gate areas; and Terminal 3, which serves both domestic and international flights from the E gates. There is no Terminal 2 at Harry Reid; it was demolished in 2016 after years of limited use. The two terminals are not directly connected, so passengers cannot walk between them inside the airport. Instead, a free inter-terminal shuttle bus operates every 15 to 30 minutes on the curbside outside both terminals.
