| - The best airport in the US by far.
It's always clean and there's slot machines! There are also smoking and non-smoking slot areas.
Security lines are comparable and may even be quicker than most major airports. But don't doubt they will be busy during Vegas holidays (i.e. Super Bowl, March Madness, Chinese New Year, etc.) They are undergoing some renovations currently and wait times at various airline counters are a bit cumbersome.
There are multiple terminals so don't get lost. Trams are mainly one stop connectors to each terminal, which means you can't ride the tram in a loop hoping to get to another terminal. You have to get off.
Coffee. Don't go to the first Starbucks you see! That one is always packed. There's another down the walkway and if you don't care for Starbucks, there's also a Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf ...or bars.
Baggage claim is massive, but there are plenty of screens and signage that point you to the correct baggage carousel. Your flight number and departure city is shown on the screen and flashes when that flight's baggage is loaded into the carousel.
If you're a local, valet parking at the airport is so convenient, but a bit pricey. You check in, get a ticket and board your plane. Upon your arrival back home, you can text the valet with your ticket number and your vehicle will be ready and waiting for you. The only downside is there is only one cashier window.
And if you're not a local, we all know you lost a ton of money at the tables and you're so hungover because you've partied all weekend, and no, we won't tell your SO back home what you did even though you were supposed to be at that conference all week. Just remember, when you whine about all those things, you're the equivalent to everyone else's crying baby. Vegas, baby!
