Harry Reid International Airport, International airport in Paradise, United States.
Harry Reid International Airport is a facility with four runways in Paradise that serves the Las Vegas metropolitan area. The complex features two main passenger terminals connected by an automated train system and processes millions of travelers annually.
Operations began in 1948 when the facility opened as McCarran Field, named after a Nevada senator. The site received its current designation in December 2021 to honor Harry Reid, who served in Congress for decades.
The terminal art program displays work by local artists, including sculptures and murals depicting desert landscapes and Nevada nightlife. Travelers often notice slot machines in the waiting areas, a feature that reflects the character of the city even inside the airport.
Signs throughout the terminals guide travelers to gates, baggage claim areas, and ground transportation options including taxis and rental cars. Information desks in both terminals can help with questions about directions or connections.
A museum in the baggage claim area showcases historical objects and documents related to Las Vegas aviation history. Visitors can view aircraft models, uniforms, and photographs from the early decades of air travel in the region.
