Does Las Vegas have its own airport?

The airport is owned by the Clark County Commission and operated by the Clark County Department of Aviation. LAS covers 2,800 acres (1,100 hectares; 4.4 square miles; 11 square kilometers) of land. The airport is named after Harry Reid, who represented Nevada in the United States Senate from 1987 to 2017.



Yes, Las Vegas is served by its own primary international airport, Harry Reid International Airport (LAS), which was known as McCarran International Airport until 2021. It is located just a few miles from the Las Vegas Strip, making it one of the most conveniently placed major airports in the world. In 2026, LAS remains a massive hub, handling over 50 million passengers annually and serving as a primary gateway for both domestic and international travelers. Additionally, the city has a second airport, the North Las Vegas Airport (VGT), which is primarily used for smaller private planes, scenic tours to the Grand Canyon, and general aviation. For most travelers, Harry Reid International is the "Las Vegas Airport," famous for its hundreds of slot machines located right in the terminals. Because the airport is so close to the resorts, a taxi or rideshare to most Strip hotels takes only 10 to 15 minutes, allowing visitors to start their Vegas experience almost immediately after landing.
