Las Vegas... the land of possibilty & douchebaggery... and also some secrecy, as well. McCarran. The gateway to the Las Vegas strip. Thoughts of landing here bring nothing but happy thoughts. I don't have too many major complaints. Some of the signs can be confusing if it's one of your first few times landing here. Otherwise, getting to land transportation & baggage claim is fairly straightforward.
I usually take Southwest Air into McCarran so the terminal I'm landing at requires a quick tram/light rail ride to the main terminal. There you will find baggage claim, taxis, limos, shuttle service to hotels and the all-important shuttle to the McCarran consolidated car rental terminal. Quick 10 min FREE ride... Please tip the shuttle driver if he helps you with your luggage. It's only polite.
Arrival pickup is pretty self-explanatory. Follow the signs if you're driving to find the right level to drive up to. Same thing if you're landing so you know what curbside to be waiting at.
See you in a few months, McCarran...
