| - Passed through here for my Vegas trip-- and arriving was especially easy. It was a Tuesday evening at 8:40 PM, but the airport was quiet, calm, and navigating to baggage claim was a simple escalator ride down. Perhaps this is a fairly small airport? I'm so used to larger airports and having to go down and around, and down again, just to get to baggage claim or ground transportation. After sitting on a fairly long plane ride, it's nice to have things smooth for a change.
Found it funny that there were plentiful slot machines at the baggage claim area -- to gamble while you wait, Lol. It is Vegas after all.
Another highlight is that there was plenty of seating everywhere in baggage claim. In all airports, there's seating, but I've noticed it's far away, and you can't really sit and watch for your luggage as it comes down. Over here there was up close seating and it was so easy to watch your carry-on stuff while keeping an eye on the moving baggage wheel.
Grabbing a taxi was also fast and streamlined. We saw the trusty shuttle box office, but we wanted to get to our hotel faster and make the most of our evening. Taxis were all lined up and waiting for people to arrive. Cost $22 / 10-15 minutes later we were rolling up the Bellagio entrance.
As for departing from this airport: Late night fight at 12:20 AM, so the place was super quiet, lots of places were closed, which was unfortunate if you were hoping to grab a meal there. It was also technically Christmas evening, so things might close a bit earlier in general. Burger King was open at the Jet Blue terminal, until 11 (normally close at midnight). In the gate seating area, there were, of course, slot machines. Had tables/seats with a lot of outlets, so if you get there early you can easily waste time on the laptop/phone, or charge electronics. Free wifi made the waiting even better. Staff was friendly as we checked in our bags, but the TSA agents, or one in particular, was awful. Rude, and flat out made fun of people who asked questions or were confused.
Overall, this airport has been one of my more positive experiences with flying/waiting at the airport. While it is a lot smaller than bigger, more popular, international airports, I feel like it was never crowded or chaotic (other than some security lines, but that's always the case) I didn't have to fight anyone for outlets, wait on long bathroom lines, or weave around masses of people/little kids/strollers. Everything here just seemed easier.
Amazing view of the Vegas strip as you land. So even before you land, you can't help but get excited and pumped for your trip.
