| - For the size of this airport, McCarran does its job very well. Not OMG spectacular awesome, but efficient enough that I was able to make my international flight even though I arrived only an hour before departure.
As of today I now have experience with both terminals. Terminal 1, in my opinion, is much older, and I highly prefer flying out of Terminal 3. The international airlines, however, are situated the furthest from the ground transportation area, and therefore is quite a long walk. However, the place was quite quiet for a Tuesday night, and the baggage tag-in process went smoothly (we checked in online the night before; yay Air Canada!).
Security was smooth, again probably because we didn't travel during peak periods. If you're in D gates, you will have to ride the tram, which is about a 45 second ride. Also, no duty free in the D gates!
I hear several stories of 3-4 hour waits at check-in/security lines on weekend afternoons. I'll reserve that judgment if I ever experience it, but for non-peak times this is probably one of the most efficient airports I've been to for one this size.
