| - An older airport yes, but an efficient one for my means when traveling to Las Vegas. While the first thing that you see upon entering the airport after deplaning are slot machines (no surprise), you'll also notice that there are a few eateries, yet not exceptional. In fact, I'm not sure why folks get upset about the slot machines. This is Las Vegas- get over it. I'd be more upset that there aren't enough eateries around, should you be flying a longer distance away to reach here.
The baggage claim area is a bit of a hike, so I would recommend talking the walking escalator (prevalent in much larger airports). In reaching the ground floor, get ready for that loud noise of the casino advertisements on a huge jumbotron (and it is loud, believe me). Be on the lookout for the outdoor shuttle kiosk on the ground floor, where one-way shuttles are $20, yet $30 round-trip.
The airline check-in and security terminals run pretty quick. The latter of which seems to be very laid back (unlike Philadelphia's personnel, by comparison). The airport's location is about 10 minutes from the strip with reasonable traffic, so that is hard to beat.
All the while, flying into here sure beats traveling to Vegas on I-15. Can't really hate this airport, yet I wish that they would add a few more restaurant venues + a larger gate (particularly B gate) to accommodate the increasing amount of international and domestic travelers.
