Official Airport Website:

Distance to Downtown:
8.4 miles (13.5 km)

Annual Passenger Volume:
46.2 million (2006)

TRANSIT FLY Review: Las Vegas McCarran International Airport offers airport
passengers convenient access to airport transportation. One of our favorites here
at TransitFly.com is the direct connection from the McCarran baggage claim
level to a variety of well priced Airport Shuttles. Airport Shuttles provide
convenient and frequent service to all of the Las Vegas Strip & Downtown
Hotels. Wait times for departures are typically never more than 5-10 minutes
and the fares charged are less than half that of a typical taxi. For passengers
traveling to UNLV or the Thomas & Mack center look into the CAT Bus #108 for
service every 20 minutes during most of the day for only $1.25.

*We have listed information on the Las Vegas Monorail below. A

No timeline for the expansion has currently been announced.

TransitFly.com looks forward to the continuing improvement of Airport
transportation in Las Vegas and will do our best to keep you updated.
