This was my first time at this airport. Upon exiting the plane the first thing you see are slots machines - which clearly you would expect landing in Vegas. They have a lot of stores here even high end stores like pandora and coach! Yes a coach in an airport! Crazy I know lol
The airport is smaller than most which is a good thing to find your way around. A lot of the things are spread out, meaning to pick up your checked bags you have to go to the front of the airport which is a long walk to a small Bart ride and then another long walk to your terminal.
Baggage usually arrives promptly because be on look out in case it changes on which carousel it comes out on. After you pick up your luggage, you can find taxi cabs and shuttle services outside already waiting. If you are traveling with more than two people I recommend you take taxi , which is cheaper. Shuttle service is $7 a person. Taxi is $20 depending on where you are going (we went to New York New York) obviously closer to the airport the better. Overall a great first great experience. If I am ever in Vegas , I will be here again.
