text: For obvious reasons this airport receives 5 stars when you arrive to Las Vegas and about 1 star when you leave. The restaurant options are the polar opposite of phenomenal and the restroom was about 1 stage away from being a scene from the movie 'Silent Hill'. Avoid the Chili's Too if you go here. Checking in and going through security wasn't too bad so I'd suggest arriving no earlier than an hour before your flight. Otherwise you will be enduring a longer visit to the McCarran Airport than one should ever wish for! If you brush into anything or open any doors I'd suggest about a gallon of Purell. (Southwest was great once they let us on the plane!)
