I actually really like this airport. I've flown out of here twice. The first time was through Spirit and that was a nightmare. Almost missed our flight since the line to check in was long and they were understaffed.
This time around I flew Southwest. Much better experience. We checked in online so all we had to do was check our bags in. That took less than 5 minutes. They have plenty of food options and of course you can play slots while you wait for your flight.
The airport is only a quick 5 min drive to the strip just as long as you don't get an asshole cab driver that will take you out of the way.
