Time allotted to go through security: you won't need the full hour-and-a-half to go through security for domestic flights, but I would suggest arriving at least an hour before your flight. This is a busy airport, and people are always coming and going. Security is quite thorough, and it takes a while to get through.\n\nAt first, I wasn't too impressed with this airport. For such a big city, I expected a fancier airport. However, in time, I have grown to appreciate this airport. I mean who needs stuff at the airport when you can have the world at your fingertips 15 minutes away on the Strip.\n\nI like this airport because it's quick and easy, in-and-out. There are 6 shuttle companies located right outside the exit. You can get to the strip for about $6-$7 in 15-30 minutes. I have used CSL and Executive. Both are good. CLS hands you a Las Vegas funbook with some great coupons. Executive is a bit slower than CLS, You'll get there soonish, and for $7 you can't really complain.\n\nFor incoming flights, I think it's cheaper and faster to use the shuttle. I feel like every time I take a cab in Vegas, they always try to swindle you, by taking the long route or complaining that you didn't tip them enough for their \"hard work\". Correct me if I'm wrong, but 20% is standard, and some would consider it generous. In any case, if you end up in a cab, it's usually between $20 - $30 between the airport and the Strip. This is comparatively cheap compared to other major cities (New York JFK is $45, plus fees and tip; San Francisco $50 plus fees and tip). That makes $20-$30 look like a steal.\n\nAdded bonus: there is a post office inside the airport, and it's really close to the security gate. Another benefit of having a small airport is that things are close together. This is good for two things: (1) if you have inadvertently left something in your bag - liquid that is more than 3 ounces, a knife or sharp object, you can just mail it yourself. I didn't take a close inspection to see what kind of services they had after hours, but at least the full ranger of services are available when they are open. I noticed that they had a envelope drop open after-hours. I suppose if you had a pre-paid priority envelope handy, you could mail it. (2) I love to mail my postcards from the destination, but sometimes it can be so hard to find a mailbox. This is it!\n\nSecond bonus: they have lockers.
