| - Out of all the major airports, this one here in Vegas gave me the least troubles.
I was pleasantly how smooth the line in the security check flow, especially with all the holiday crowds are going to mess things up by being the usual knuckleheads. You get the dumb lass that tried to go through the metal detectors with a gold chain around their neck, but the security alerted him before the bonehead get his chance to stall everyone behind him.
The wait was actually less painless than I originally envisioned here. My terminal is for the Delta Airlines and the terminal there was festive with slot machines popping at every available chance you can get before you go home. I love it!
There is one catch about time issues at this airport. Make you come in early enough. It's not the security check or the check in that is a factor (even though it is), it is the indoor monorail ride from the front of the location of the airport to the other side of the terminal where you board your flights.
It was very unexpected for me because when I got off the plane, I noticed that in order to get from the boarding gates to the front of the terminal (baggage area/security check in), you have to board this monorail. This could be a time issue if you came in late thinking you have the small window of time to board your flight. If you missed the monorail, you'll wait until the monorail come back and pick you up and take you there.
The monorail does have a set time and it does take a few minutes between location each way. So it might take at least 5 minutes to come back, then you have to wait until enough people come on board for this monorail to move. That could take an undetermined time before that happens.
It's not really a big deal if you set enough time ahead of your flight. If not, then that could be a deterrent.
Overall, I like the airport for its smooth check in and security check in time (without compromising). The restaurants, coffee shops, and bars are plenty. The slots reminds people you still have that last chance to blow all of your money here in Vegas, but it's the monorail you have to be aware of.
