| - With PDX as my home airport, I'm a confirmed airport snob and have found very little reason in the past couple decades to give props to any other destination. But McCarran Terminal 3 is such a marvel I have to tell you about it.
Now if you're going to Vegas and you haven' been there for a year you might be, as we were, prepared for the long walk, the escalator, the train ride, the Great Plains of baggage claim areas and the miles-long taxi queue.
When we walked off the jetway, down an escalator and right out the door, I wondered if we had actually landed somewhere other than LAS. And then there was... NO LINE for taxis. It was kind of unreal -- but in the kind of way that you're happy to go along with.
On the return trip it was similarly pleasant, with a fast TSA line and some of the friendliest agents I've ever had scan my privates. There were touch screens to guide me about, comfy waiting area seats, power sources aplenty and lots of room! Superb experience.
But how do you get to choose which terminal you're going to end up in at LAS? Simple, either fly there from another country or use Alaska, Hawaiian, Jet Blue, Frontier, Sun Country or Virgin America. Okay? You're welcome.
