LAS Airport Guide: Terminals, Airlines and Trams

LAS has two terminals, Terminal 1 and Terminal 3, according to the airport. This is where the airlines check in, from the airport's official airline list of 30 airlines:

• Terminal 1: Allegiant, American, Delta, Southwest and Sun Country. Terminal 1 serves the A, B, C and D gates.
• Terminal 3: Aer Lingus, Aeromexico, Air Canada, Air France, Alaska, Avianca, Breeze, British Airways, Condor, Contour, Copa, Discover, Edelweiss, Flair, Frontier, Hawaiian, JetBlue, KLM, Korean Air, Porter, United, Virgin Atlantic, Viva Aerobus, Volaris and WestJet. Terminal 3 has its own ticketing, check-in, baggage claim and Customs and Border Protection.
• D gates: a satellite concourse reached by tram from both terminals. The airport does not publish which airlines use the D gates. Check your boarding pass.

Trams: From Terminal 1, go through the C/D gates security checkpoint, then board the Blue Line Tram to the D gates. From Terminal 3, go through security on Level 2, take the escalators or elevators down to the tram station and board the Red Line Tram to the D gates. At the D gates, the Blue Line goes to Terminal 1 and the Red Line to Terminal 3. Shuttle bus: before security, free courtesy shuttle buses link the two terminals about every 20 to 30 minutes, and the ride takes about 10 minutes. At Terminal 1, take the elevator or escalators down to Level Zero from baggage claim, exit, and use the crosswalk toward the covered garage to the stop. At Terminal 3, the stop is on Level Zero, in the center of the curb on the airport's shuttle page. Another airport page says outside the terminal on the west end, so follow the Ground Transportation signs. The airport says walking between the two terminals is not possible, as they sit in separate areas of the airport campus. If you land at Terminal 3 and connect to a flight at Terminal 1, use the shuttle bus and check with your airline about re-checking bags.

LAS has five TSA checkpoints: three in Terminal 1 and two in Terminal 3. Hours published by the airport:

• Terminal 1, A/B gates: 3:15 a.m. to 1 a.m.
• Terminal 1, C gates (Southwest Airlines): 3:05 a.m. to 10 p.m.
• Terminal 1, C/D gates: open 24 hours.
• Terminal 3, Level 2 (D and E gates): 3:30 a.m. to 1:30 a.m.
• Terminal 3 Innovation Checkpoint (Level Zero): 5 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.

TSA recommends arriving two hours early for domestic flights and three hours early for international flights. The airport also publishes estimated checkpoint wait times on its website.

Check these before you fly:

• Airport connector tunnels: lanes are closed in both the northbound and southbound tunnels for repaving. Traffic is down to two lanes from 5 a.m. to midnight, and one lane from midnight to 5 a.m. Sunday through Friday, with completion anticipated by the end of December 2026. The airport says dates and traffic patterns may change. Allow extra travel time.
• Parking rates: updated rates took effect July 1, 2026, across all parking.

The Lost & Found Office handles items lost in public areas, including security checkpoints and gate areas. Call (702) 261-5134. The call center is open 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Pacific time, Sunday through Friday, except major federal and state holidays. You can also submit a lost item report online on the airport's Lost & Found page. Reports are free and kept for 30 days. The airport lists no email address. Lost something at the Rent-A-Car Center? For public areas call 702-261-6001, for shuttle buses call 702-261-6630, and for items in a rental car contact the rental company.

The airport's Amenities and Airport Services pages do not mention public Wi-Fi, so the network name and terms are not confirmed. Look for the airport network in your phone's Wi-Fi list at the gate, and avoid sensitive logins on any open network. The airport's services page says the United Club offers free Wi-Fi and the Chase Sapphire Lounge in the C gates offers fast Wi-Fi.

The airport lists no luggage storage or lockers. If you need to leave bags, ask at an airport information booth, or ask your hotel before you travel whether it will hold them.

The airport lists pet relief areas (indoor and outdoor), nursing suites, restrooms throughout all terminals, information booths, ATMs and currency exchange, a kids play area in the D gates, designated smoking areas, slot machines throughout the terminals, and Jabbrrbox workspaces for working on the go. Lounges are available in both terminals. The airport describes the United Club in the D gates and the Chase Sapphire Lounge in the C gates, and says two premium lounges opened in 2025: Capital One in the D gates and Chase Sapphire in the C gates.

The airport has taxi and ride-share areas, limousines, public buses, inter-city shuttles and a Rent-A-Car Center at 7135 Gilespie Street, about three miles south of the airport. Rental shuttles leave from outside doors 10 and 11 on Level 1 at Terminal 1, and from both ends of the Level Zero curb at Terminal 3. The Monorail does not serve LAS. Distances by road from Terminal 1, from OpenStreetMap routing without traffic (not airport figures): Downtown Las Vegas about 10 miles (16 km), 15 minutes; Mandalay Bay (south Strip) about 5.4 miles, 10 minutes; Bellagio (center Strip) about 4.0 miles, 11 minutes; Wynn (north Strip) about 4.3 miles, 10 minutes. Allow more time at peak hours and while the connector tunnels are down to two lanes.
