| - McCarran is a decent airport all considered.
I've been through here a few times so this will be my attempt at a combined review addressing some of the other reviewers comments.
Flying Southwest - I'm not sure why people are saying they don't have touch screens, but... they do. McCarran combines multiple airlines into a single kiosk. All the kiosks along the windows by Southwest are Southwest (and additional airline) kiosks. Southwest flies out of concourse C, which seems to have pretty quick security lines (far right along the wall where C & D - first class, lines are).
Flying United - United is easy enough if you're a regular flier. The usual kiosks and desks are available. I can't tell you much about the regular D security lines, but the first class line can be a pain. The line leads up to one or two security stations, but is allowed to filter to any. When people up front aren't aware of this, the line backs up. Also, plan for a bit of extra time since concourse D is a decent tram ride and walk.
Other stuff - Yes, there are slot machines here, and I don't know why people complain since loss and gambling seem to go together. There is a gift shop, etc... If you're flying with other folks on different airlines, hang out with them BEFORE security, since you will not be going to the same place. I also think the signs here are lacking, which leaves people looking around for where they're going.
Overall... well who cares about the airport? You're headed to McCarran for other reasons.
