For most travelers, a nonstop flight provides the quickest and simplest way to reach Las Vegas. It avoids a layover and can reduce the complete journey by at least two hours.

A connecting itinerary may still be worth considering when its fare, departure time or seat availability is more suitable. The shortest one-stop routes generally transfer through Ontario, Phoenix, Los Angeles or San Francisco.

When choosing a connecting flight, booking every segment under one reservation usually provides better rebooking support if the first service is delayed.

Harry Reid International Airport uses the airport code LAS and handles the main scheduled commercial flights serving Las Vegas. The airport is located close to the southern end of the Las Vegas Strip.

LAS has Terminal 1 and Terminal 3. Walking between them is not possible because they occupy separate areas of the airport campus, but a complimentary shuttle operates between the terminals.

Taxis, ride-share services, public buses, hotel shuttles, limousines and rental cars are available for onward transportation.

Travelers staying on the Las Vegas Strip, in Downtown Las Vegas or elsewhere in the city must continue by road after landing.

Hotels near the southern part of the Strip are only a short drive from the airport. Properties farther north and accommodation in Downtown Las Vegas generally require a longer transfer.

Busy conditions along Las Vegas Boulevard may lengthen transfer times, especially on weekends or during conventions, major sporting fixtures and large entertainment events.

Free airport shuttles transport passengers between the terminals and the separately located Rental Car Center. Passengers hiring a vehicle should add the shuttle ride and collection process to their total travel time.
