| - Free airport WiFi! Free airport WiFi! Why are there not more reviews for McCarran extolling the free airport WiFi?? This is not something you find at every airport, people!
Of all the airports I visit all year long, I mind McCarran the least. Oh sure, it's still an airport, and the security line is LOOOOONG here, but there are many worse airports to be stuck in than McCarran. Personally, I wish they would change up the "celebrity"-laden videos they show in the security line, but someone who doesn't travel through this airport as often as I do probably isn't as sick of seeing Rita Rudner telling jokes in the security line over and over again.
You can't beat the location of the Vegas airport - it's a quick cab ride away from the strip, and there are many different shuttle companies operating if you want a cheaper ride. The monorail to get from security to your terminal and back again is quick and easy, and baggage takes a reasonable amount of time to retrieve (note: I did not say quick, just reasonable). Plus, I always seem to see someone famous at baggage claim, so that's exciting.
There's plenty to do in the terminal if the FREE airport Wifi (!!!) doesn't catch your interest - lots of shops, decent restaurants, and of course, plenty of slot machines. In all, it's a surprisingly decent airport which, in my opinion, gets bumped up to four-star level by... what else? The free public WiFi.
