* I like the McCarran Airport, it sure is a lot easier than
going through Atlanta and changing terminals with those trains. Bob

* McCarran is ok, but like
more big airports the distance from the gates to baggage claim is a long
way. Dr. Phillips
* Considering how busy the
airport is, I think it runs very well. Even when the security lines are
long, they go quickly. There are a lot of great shops and a nice
selection of places to eat. I love the decor and especially the tile
work near the trams and the reptile sculptures. My only complaint is I
have to go through the Atlanta-Hartsfield airport to get there! That
airport could learn a lot from the organization of the McCarran airport!

* McCarran Airport is a fine
airport, delightful for me in fact since I don't travel much. I have
never had any problems finding my way around, security seems adequate,
it has most everything you could possibly need at hand and finally it
has a few slot machines to pass the time on while waiting. Baggage has
always been handled efficiently for me on both arrival and departure.
Airline and airport employees are for the most part helpful and friendly
and always have their hand out for a tip, which is cool if they have
earned it. Personally I have never had any bad experiences there.
Improvements? Maybe more moving sidewalks to speed you through the
airport to the baggage claim and out. The older I get the bigger this
airport seems! Later, Paul in OK
* I do not like using the McCarran
airport for the following reasons: The lines are long and it takes
too long to get through security. They need more restaurants it's a very
limited place to get a quick snack. For instance I just took a Southwest
flight and had to walk all the way to another wing to get to TCBY for
frozen yogurt. During which time the airport was under construction and
very little room to walk to the next wing. Thanks. sharonmcox
* We fly into Vegas twice a
year and find it user friendly for such a busy airport. Traffic flows in
orderly manner. Baggage area easy to get to. John Myers

* I think it is really great.
It seems to be laid out real nice. It is easy to find all places
you need in it. GJ Smith
* I like McCarran Airport.
Although it is very large, it is easy to get from the plane area to the
baggage department. It is run well. Inside the airport are many shops,
restaurants, and slots to keep you occupied while waiting to depart. I
have usually had on time departures. When leaving the airport, there are
plenty of taxi's or shuttles for transportation to your final
destination. Car rental shuttles are easy to catch and run frequently.

* I guess there is always
room for improvement. I enjoy it. Its nice to have the opportunity to
get warmed up on slots when flying in. Kind a like a warm up game before
the Super Bowl. A nice atmosphere, and very fun place to be a "people
watcher" Troy
* I believe that McCarran Airport
is user friendly and at times fun to to walk through. To those who say
the lines are too long, "Get there early enough to avoid them". I am
usually excited by the time I exit the airplane and observing the
people, coming attractions and the sounds of slot machines raises one's
level of expectations of a positive experience while in Vegas. There are
plenty of vendors to satisfy anything the visitor may wish to buy
available. As well as directions to wherever. Chuck Middagh

* I have been out to Vegas 6
times I have yet to find anything to complain about for the size of the
airport I also speak for our friends we come out there with I hope they
keep up the good work. Gerald Mcintosh
* I love McCarran Airport, it
means I am coming home--I am from Nevada now living in Maryland. I have
seen the changes over the years as it has grown. I find it a fine
airport. The shops are great since we have to get there early for
security checks. I love the moving sidewalks. I do have a knee problem,
so the long walks are hard. I would like more restaurants where you can
relax and be comfortable. There is plenty of food available, but with
long waits, a restaurant is nice. Barbre Rockville MD
