Q. Can I store luggage at the airport?
A. Due to changes in security regulations, storage lockers are no longer available at Las Vegas McCarran International Airport. There is a third-party vendor called "Bags To Go" that does offer baggage storage in Las Vegas. You can find more information about their services here. Please note that this service is not directly offered by Las Vegas McCarran International airport.

Call a cab, lyft, uber. Ask a friend. Rent a car and return it to the airport. Take a bus. Take your own car and put it in long term parking. I mean seriously.
I think the parking time limit for free parking zone is extremely frustrating there should be enough time we re tourist going to spend our money and to pay high parking rate or short hour parking space is ridiculous
They recently renamed it after Reid who is the longest serving senator. McCarran was also a senator, but unfortunate incidents from his past caused the county to rethink the name.
That depends on the airline. The airport allows pets as long as you comply with local regulations.
Hello, I have a question. I want to know if it is currently possible to travel to Las Vegas due to the pandemic. I have planned to make a trip in December, but I don't know if it will be possible. Someone who knows can tell me.
Yes you can. You can go through any security gate and get to any gate using the connected tram system....just plan ahead if you need to get to Gates A,B,C or D from Terminal 3. Also, be sure NOT to accidentally walk out of the secured area after exiting the trams that lead towards baggage claim.
There is no password for the internet there, all you have to do is open your wifi I click on the airport guest and it'll take you to Google and then you push accept
There are a lot of things to do at McCarran International Airport, there's a Burger King, Starbucks you can go shopping or you can also explore the strip especially if u have a 4 hour layover, you can explore the strip for 2 hours and with those two hours you can go to ross, marshalls at the showcase mall, explore hershey's chocolate world at new york new york, check out Criss Angel's motorbikes at the planet Hollywood and then go back to the airport
Lyft or uber will save you about 10.00 over the taxis. Although the taxis are really convenient coming out of baggage claim. I use all three when I'm there, based on what's right in front of me at the time.
McCarran International Airport (LAS) in Las Vegas – Smoking is permitted in the Budweiser Racing Track Loungein the Esplanade Pre-Security area, enclosed slot-machine lounges (B, C, D, and E Gates), and designated outdoor areas near ticketing and baggage claim.
1. You do not have to provide any documentation, sadly. Every person who thinks their dog is a person can just say "it's a service animal" and that's that. The rest of us have to endure some dog just because someone lives in fantasy land thinking their dog belongs next to me on an airplane.
2. The federal government does not recognize "emotional support" dogs as a service animal or covered as part of the ADA.
3. They should require documentation because everyone has learned that all they have to say is that their Yorkie is a "service animal" and no one can ask any questions.
In the event you arrive at the airport without valid identification, because it is lost or at home, you may still be allowed to fly. The TSA officer may ask you to complete a form to include your name and current address, and may ask additional questions to confirm your identity.
No hotels at airport but many near by
Tropicana is nearby (5 min to airport) but to return 2 hrs before flight leaves you 5hrs to go check in and sleep. ?
Whoever you're flying with you just put in for a assistant and they will provide one from the very door you get out of to all the planes and from plane the plane
Find a shuttle that goes to rental car area . Let them know which rental place you are going. It’s different ones for off airport rental places as well
Prices vary depending on time of day, day of week, and if there are any special events being sponsored in town. Über is usually between $10-$15. Not sure about taxi service.
We got through security quickly, but we flew out on a Saturday. Our Taxi driver said that Sunday was the worst day of the week to fly out of Las Vegas.
my wife is arriving on Frontier airline where do I pick her up
Henry Herpers | Oct 4, 2021
NMW JTW | Oct 4, 2021
I've never flown Frontier, however, McCarren has very visible arrival/departure pick-up signs with arrow showing the specific lane for the desired airline. Just follow your specific sign(s).
Airport pricing probably changed since I've been there in 2019, it was$35/ night and it's pretty safe in the parking lot. They have security cameras but you should NEVER leave any valuable to attract sticky hands. I hope this helps.
That depends on your airline and desitnation. If it is a reliable airline and is a domestic flight, I would say 1-2 hours, depending on TSA lines. If it is an unreible airline or an international flight, I would say closer to 3-3.5 hours.
At what gate do charter flights arrive and is there a way to check the flight status of a charter flight arrival
Sal Caruso | Oct 4, 2021
LaDonna Crumbliss | Oct 4, 2021
I believe you have to check with your private charter website to find out any information. Whoever you charter the plane with. Each charter flight has its own private service.
Why does my gun case every single time I transport it through they manage to break my lock on my guncase as well as leaving the all safety measures disabled. I totally can't bring myself to accept any of this anymore. I've hand written messages.
David Schramm | Oct 4, 2021
Patrick Rodriquez | Oct 4, 2021
Wish I could help you. McCarran is not my home airport and I don't transport a gun case. In my opinion they are probably singling you out because you have a gun case.
Where is the parking lot which is only $10.00 a day or is there any free parking outside of the airport near the bus stop?
Will the Las Vegas airport accept a temporary driver's license from the state of Texas. The state of Texas temperature of license is a piece of paper but has all the information as a driver license including my picture
Joe Smith | Oct 4, 2021
linda mamal | Oct 4, 2021
Yes if you're talkin about the paper they give you to you drive on until the original license is mailed to you. But I would take birth certificate or Social Security card for extra backup. But yes they do honor those papers temporary driver's license
Shuttles are fee and far between, I inquired why and was told because of the pandemic.
There are Uber/ lyft available as well as taxis and limos.
I hope this answers your inquiry.
I didn't encounter this problem but I did see at the end of pick up at baggage claim an employee was picking up all left luggage and taking them to customer service. So as stated above check there. Good Luck.
Am I allowed to carry weed in my bag or on me? If so how much? And like on my carry on or what? Cause Ik in Cali you can like under a ounce or something.

I dont think so bc I flew from HTX but can walk around Vegas and smoke freely
Physically you can bring as many as you want. How many you can check depends on if international or domestic and also particular airline policies. You can usually find this on their (airline's) website or call
Yes, if you are 21 years or older, and per the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), travelers can bring alcohol — liquor or otherwise — as long as the bottles are unopened and placed in a sealed bag. While alcohol can't exceed 70 percent (140 proof) in checked luggage, the TSA doesn't state a proof-limit for carry-on booze...However, you are NOT allowed to drink your own booze. Only the airline can serve you.
Masks everywhere... Restaurants etc at 50% capacity (if there's a restaurants you really want to eat at mat be best to make a reservation 1st). Entering from international you may need a negative Covid test from 3 day a or less before departing. And may need one to return. Double check with us and can govt on this
There's a bunch of taxis and limos to take you wherever you need to go. Hotels will have shuttle service to get you back to airport! Enjoy your stay and have fun!
Credit cards only. Per NRS482. 377, customers with license plates issued by the State of Nevada with “Disabled Veteran” or “EXPOW” stamped on them are entitled to free parking – limited to 4 hours in Short Term Parking. When exiting, use a cashiered lane, or if one is not available, please use a phone at the exit gate.
I'd contact the airline you booked with and see if you can reschedule for the next flight.
I only had to go inside the airport to see a friend before she went home. Normally I just ride passed the airport.
As long as you have a confirmed return flight, several rental agencies will allow you to use a Visa debit card. Check with different companies, as each have different rules regarding debit card use.
Contact your airline. It depends on who you're flying with, some have that option on their app. A couple of airlines who use their app for flight changes include (but aren't limited to) Frontier, Southwest, and United.
The airport is owned by Clark County and operated by the Clark County Department of Aviation. It is named after the late U.S. Senator Pat McCarran, a member of the Democratic Party who contributed to the development of aviation both in Las Vegas and on a national scale. LAS covers 2,800 acres (11.3 km2) of land.
Yes they certainly won't mind the business. You can walk around eat shop, or sit in the chairs. You won't be getting much sleep however. I recommend going 3 hours before a flight takes off anyway just to find out where you have to go. Just remember to have your plane ticket on hand in case anyone asks why you've been sitting awhile & keep track of time or set a vibration alarm on your phone. You don't ever Wana miss a flight.
I understand that once you remove your luggage, leaving the Terminal, you have the taxi service, or there are some booths that issue tickets to take you in a van, with some passengers directly to the booking hotels. Or you can call an Uber. It also depends on the number of people to see the most convenient economically. I hope this information is useful.
You can follow signs for Ride Share. On terminal 3 you need to go to the parking garage and then take an elevator down to level V. I am not sure about terminal 1 though.
Southwest is *not* in T3 (newer side). They are in the C gates, but you ARE able to connect to any gate section (A,B,C,D) and both terminals (T3 & T1) after you pass security. Use the trams / follow signs to get to any gate.
Do i need to show any Documentation, showing i had spinal surgery for neck and lumbar, I have titanium Metal rods in neck and lumbar, and i'm wearing a back brace.
Todd Griffin | Oct 5, 2019
Laurie Wallace | Oct 5, 2019
No they may put you through a scanner once you have set off the alarms
Thank you for your quick response. It's a driver's license that actually is not expired but has been voided because the new one is being issued and is in the mail. So it has those holes in it but there is a letter that the DMV gives you.
I traveled last week on Delta and I could check my stroller and car seat for first. Luggage can depend on your status, but I was able to check a 70lb bag
It depends on the agency and the arrivals but it has been fairly easy and quick when I've been there. I wouldn't rent a car unless you plan on traveling outside Las Vegas... uber is much cheaper in the long run because of parking fees, etc... it will take you longer to get around renting a car too.
You sure can. There are lots of things to do. Nice shops and eateries as well as plenty of gaming machines to pass the time. Yes, you cannot check bags that far in advance.
What time does the restaurants open in the airport
Sandy Halfhill | Oct 5, 2019
SaveGreenHere | Oct 5, 2019
Most of not all, are open as early as 6:30 am. Some may be open 24/7
Who is it named after?
Ronn King | Oct 5, 2019
Julie Collver | Oct 5, 2019
McCarran International Airport located in Las Vegas, Nevada is named after Senator McCarran.McCarran Boulevard in Reno is named for Pat McCarran, as is McCarran Street in North Las Vegas. Cartoonist Walt Kelly introduced a character into his Pogo comic strip called Mole MacCaroney.
Why does the Airport close from 2 am - 4 am?
Jason Barrios | Oct 5, 2019
TK KYLE | Oct 5, 2019
Most airports close late nights to early morning as there's not much flying on those times.
I am taking a Southwest flight out from Ontario CA to Vegas (Mccarren) at 6:25am- 7:25am and i need to catch an international flight departing at 9:49am form Mccarren, is 2 hours enough for me to check in and pass immigrations and security?

Does anyone know why we allow vendors to charge $15.00 for two waters and one coke?
And they wonder why people get upset at airports after being harrassed by TSA who summarily make you dump out sealed bottles to force you to purchase more!

Welcome to USA ! Loved through the world.
Does anyone know why we allow such stupid people to search us and our belongings ?
TSA personnel are nothing but glorified Walmart workers and barely that!
Yes. Maybe free for some people, but $20 to and from casinos. Pretty reasonable I think. You get a little tour of the town while driving around to different casinos. I always enjoy these rides. You can get lots of local information from the drivers as well.
McCarran International Airport (LAS) in Las Vegas – Smoking is permitted in the Budweiser Racing Track Lounge in the Esplanade Pre-Security area, enclosed slot-machine lounges (B, C, D, and E Gates), and designated outdoor areas near ticketing and baggage claim. see maps here https://www.mccarran.com/Smoking
note however that it's more healthy ti not smoke. unfortunately in this airport everything stinks tobacco (just like in many of the casinos). it is a health danger
All over. Follow ride share signs or walk right out the ft. Door
If you walk out the door naked you xan also win an all expense paid county vacation during your stay there
Yes. You can take mini speakers on plane with carry on or check in. This is provided that speakers are not alter in anyway or anything is concealed inside.
Hello ,, you must be 2 to 3 hrs ,, at the airport ,, from Monday to Thursday ,, or if it is the end of the week ,, to print tickets ,, pass the check, look for the lounge of your airline ,, go to bathroom ect ,, etc ,, and more if you have small children .. !! But cheer up, everything is simple and beautiful .. !!
When you wanted your bags/luggage wrapped in plastic like a saran food wrap. For added security.. contents must be within airline/tsa check in baggage standards otherwise check in as cargo ie..hazardous materials I hope this would help for reference only
There is cellular coverage throughout the airport, with a free network, but not very secure, and if you are from Mexico, the local coverage will be provided by your equivalent in the USA.
Well this Airport is really efficient getting through security. I've never been out of the country say 2 hours or 3 hours arrival time. I would at least put the time be there in two and a half hours. hope that helps
Lyft or uber are your best bets for cheapest travel around Vegas. Locate the ride share pick up location at the hotel nearest to your destination and you will be set. Cabs are more expesive.
Define busy? How many people are there? Not as many as there are in JFK but the airport isn't as big either.... So number of people per terminal? Number of flights per day? Compared to what?
Adults are always required to show a valid ID. There is an age limit for children requiring ID's. I'd call the airline or your travel agent and ask to be sure what the requirements are.
Hi One Sicada,
As you assume, your Tax refund paperwork should be done at last point of departure. You'd also need to show the item being 'exported' . So, in that case it could be at LV airport if the exported item is in the checked-in luggage.
Not many public have knowledge of this 'refund of tax' - since they are US residents - also they never know about refunds they could get when they 'import' when on travels out of country. Now if curious people Google this, they will be enlightened!!.
BTW, The place to declare and get paperwork stamped would be located only in the International terminals.
Good luck and Thanks for visiting One Sicada.
Depends on where you park. You have options from the long term lot to curb side valet , they run from $10 to $27 per day.
There is also private lots like The Parking Spot that have good rates and will pick you up and drop you off right at your vehicle.
You can either pay on the way out at the booth or begore you get into your car at the machines. When you do it at the machines you have a time limit to get into your car and out of the parkibg lot so be mindful.
The item will have to be able to fit either in the overhead compartment or in the space underneath the seat in front of then. They will not be allowed to hold onto something during takeoff and or landing.
Sure, your ticket (Boarding Pass) will get you back in. Be careful to check the time. If you're leaving the airport, traffic and TSA have a way of making life miserable. Your luggage will automatically be placed on your next flight.
You are allowed to bring a quart-sized bag of liquids, aerosols, gels, creams and pastes in your carry-on bag and through the checkpoint. These are limited to travel-sized containers that are 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) or less per item. Placing these items in the small bag and separating from your carry-on baggage facilitates the screening process.
Prices vary greatly based on airline, days of travel, class of service, and how long in advance you buy your ticket. You can use a tool like Google Flights to look across all flights available for the time you wish to fly.
The two hours is safe bet. I also notice that Las Vegas airport tends to be busy over the weekends so it is safe to add another 30 mn during tbe weekends. Good luck.
For domestic flights, you are not required to have a passport to fly until October 2020, which is when the REAL ID Act goes into effect. Once in effect, you will be required to present a valid REAL ID or a Passport to fly on domestic flights.
For all international flights, you are required to have a valid passport.
So it says kitchen in all rooms ??? Where the pics ....??? Is this true??
Darius Moody | Oct 5, 2018
Llumys World | Oct 5, 2018
No, this is not true. The airport does not contain Kitchens in all rooms. If you want to know about a specific hotel you need to provide the name of the hotel, not just an airport.
Can you take vape pin pass security or should I put it in my checked luggage?
Darlena South | Oct 5, 2018
Aroune Gibirila | Oct 5, 2018
I am not too sure. However according to faa.gov website you are supposed to take the vape pen into the aircraft. These devices are prohibited in checked baggage and may only be carried in the aircraft cabin (in carry-on baggage or on your person).
I flew to Las Vegas about a month ago and those who came to pick me up had to wait at a fuel station until I called them. They never found the cell phone parking lot.
You need to get a "security pass" in order to get past security gates. Ask a TSA or a ticket agent for the airline your children are flying with. Take photo id with you, and go a couple of hours before the flight lands in order to allow time to get through security. Sometimes the lines are long. Hope this helps
They have a ride share location. Follow the signs at ground transportation
When you arrive at airport and it says welcome to Los Vegas what name is shown above ?

No. McCarran International Airport. People just refer to it that way.
Bummer being 14 in Vegas. Take fun creative pics! Post post post!
Reading a book by richard Dunn did a megahit YouTube video during an overnight layover.
Go to the airline (your children are flying with) ticket desk with photo id, request a security pass to accompany your children to their gate. Some airlines offer this free, some may have a small charge.
You can always call the airport and they can guide you from there. You might be out of luck; a slot voucher attendant is always on site (in the middle of the slot machines).
Hard to tell.. Personally i would use soundhound or some service to record the music and tells you the band or artist.. If you just record the music and then use soundhound later from a different phone. That should work. Hope that helps
First of all
You need to apply for domestic flight and international flight when you buy your tickets and then you don't have any problems !!!
. . . . . Go !!!
Depends on when and where they take off from. Could be pretty much Any time of day. Most are from 5am to 12 pm. There are still some overnights though.
A bus from airport,will take you to the rental company office location.
Bus service is every 5 mins and when you drop the car, you can bring your luggauge in the car and the take bus to airport.
Can we check our luggage in the airport? Are there any services such like this?
김승리 | Oct 5, 2018

Airlines flying out of an airport will have counters at the airport for passenger check-in as well as baggage drop-off.
Can candy and fudge be packed in luggage?
Mark Gerhow | Oct 5, 2018
N.Jade Gillen | Oct 5, 2018
Yes, you can packed candy and fudge in your carry-on or checked luggage.. Containers over 3.4 ounces or 100 ml (gel, alcohol, contact lenses solution, any liquid) must be checked in. Passengers with medical conditions are exempted.

Does McCarran airport have a lost and found dept, how doI call
Jocelyn Ramas | Oct 5, 2018
CC DB (An equal element of) | Oct 5, 2018
On mccarran airport website scroll to the very bottom for lost and found link. If not there show the menu list ie the three lines, start fresh at home scroll to bottom. They are helpful so be nice if you want your lost item.
i believe so , i was in the casino all night till 8am in the morning before retired to bed every few minutes i see people checking in and out with luggages going to and from the airport
Every airport has a Lost and Found Department. Also check with the airlines you were flying, usually located in the baggage claim area. (I mistakenly left a small bag without ID in an airline club. On my return trip the next day, I checked with the club and they had it. They said normally, they would send it to their Lost and Found but they knew I would come back because of what it contained.)
Yes there is a designated smoking area in the airport like Barneys lounge at C gate; Enclosed Gaming lounges and Outdoor spaces around baggage claim and ticketing areas.
I have worn hemp clothing on flights and never had an issue, If the wraps are like clothing take it in a carry on. Or if you are still questioning this you can call the toll free TSA number.
Car rental is located on Gillespie St which is a 15 minute ride from the airport to the Rental Car center. A better option would be to rent with Turo as you can have the vehicle delivered right to the airport with no lines or extra travel.
This happened to me once. First of all, I can tell you that you are going to have to wait a long time. They will ask you what day you arrived and approximately what time. Then they will go back and look at their security cameras and try to determine how long you're actually there.
in Las Vegas – Smoking is permitted in the Budweiser Racing Track Lounge in the Esplanade Pre-Security area, enclosed slot-machine lounges (B, C, D, and E Gates), and designated outdoor areas near ticketing and baggage claim
You can use a prescription, credit card statement, bank statement, anything that has your name on it or you can use another picture ID that verifies your name and date of birth.
"Real ID" is government issued ID that complies with Federal standards (READ: identifies one's citizenship and legal status). Essentially, State ID (like a driver's license) that doesn't identify you as a U.S. Citizen will no longer be accepted as "Real" ID at the airport as of October 1, 2020.
There is no need to visit a DMV office to obtain a Real ID-compliant card until your next renewal or other license change. Any Nevada driver's license or identification card will be considered compliant by DHS through October 1, 2020.
NOTE: The date has been extended a couple of times. The best source of current information on this subject can be found at:
http://www.dmvnv.com/realid.htm
If you have a valid reason to assist the passenger, speak with an airline representative at check-in, they are able to issue passes for certain circumstances.
