Yelp Challenge 365 # 66/365
I remember what McCarran looked like before the new addition of termnail and am constantly reminded of it when I fly into Las Vegas on Hawaiian Airlines. Hawaiian is located at the old part of the terminal; isolated more or less from the other carriers.
That said- don't try to make any connections to other airlines unless you have AMPLE time. It's about a 10 minute walk to the other terminal or, you could rider their shuttle. Either way, allow yourself time.
Their ground transportation system is sort of confusing. Limos? Private Limos? Door to Door Shuttles? All forms of transportation but they are not all in one place. If you are renting a a car; you'll need to stand by the car rental bus stop. The bus will take you to the Rent A Car Central where all the rental companies are.
Upshot is they have great food concessions just in case you have time to stop and eat. While I've never looked for souveniers at the airport, I do see quite a few stores for the last minute shopper.
There are definitely better airports around but! Just 1 airport to deliver us to the 9th Island.
