| - McCarran Airport may not be as modern and spacious as SFO but it's unique in the sense that if offer's you the "Vegas experience" as soon as you step off the plane.
Upon exiting your gate, you're bombarded with slot machine after slot machine. Why wait till you get to the hotel/casino? I'm not really a gambler, but I thought this was pretty awesome! The bright "Welcome to Las Vegas!" sign instantly put me in a great mood, and I was well on my way to an amazing Vegas trip.
Check-in, security, and baggage claim were a breeze, even with tons of people in Vegas for the weekend.
There are tons of taxi's, shuttles, and limos outside to take you to The Strip or whichever hotel you are staying at. Taxi's are pretty expensive though - at $17 to The Strip, you're better off taking a shuttle bus at $7 one way, $13 round-trip. We got to our hotel, Treasure Island, in about 15 mins. after making two other stops!
Overall, this is a great airport and does the job. The only negative is the whole leaving Vegas part ;( until next time!
