| - Unlike what that one reviewer said a few days ago this month, I think the contained smoking areas are actually fine at McCarran. If anything, FAR MORE airports should have these lounges, even if it's only 1 per terminal. IIRC, McCarran has 2 such lounges per terminal(one on each end) here. Having the smoking lounges provides 2 great results, number one being that you won't run into smokers sneaking a cigarette inside bathroom areas(it happens at Chicago O'Hare and Midway at times, and I won't be surprised if I hear reports of people sneaking bathroom cigarettes at Salt Lake City Airport since they made their foolish recent decision(no thanks to SLC's mayor, booourns!) to eliminate their lounges), and number two reduces the lines to go through security. Quit being a baby about it, since per my memory of using this airport in early 2015 it didn't smell badly outside of those lounges. The smoking bar I noticed while in the terminal, and ditto with the smoking slot area in that same terminal I was in while waiting for my flight obviously must have good ventilation, since I didn't smell the smoke outside of those areas at all. I'm an infrequent non-daily smoker, so I appreciated the smoking bar(Barney's, and I definitely noticed the ventilation equipment inside that bar) I used before my flight. Plus the fact I saw they had TONS of non-smoking slots outside the few in those smoking lounges(almost positive I saw more slots outside those lounges, vs. the few within when I took a peek inside those 2 smoking lounge slot areas), is very fair to me!
Moving on, this airport had a lot of food options within it, though I wouldn't say it was my favorite airport ever in this regard. But it was plenty enough, but wouldn't hurt if they could lure some mom and pop places and some chains that aren't already here(i.e. In 'n Out) into this airport. I didn't have a problem finding an outlet to charge my phone, and it looks like from newer reviews, that they've fixed the problem(back in early 2015) of not being able to get Uber and Lyft here. Glad the state of Nevada has legalized ride sharing services now!
If the variety of food options was a smidge better, I'd give this place 5 stars. Still, very darn decent airport, and like I said at the start of the review, more airports should have post-security smoking lounges! Or at minimum outdoor areas post-security where you can smoke, a la Tampa.
