The Harry Reid International Airport, formerly known as the McCarran International Airport, is one of the busiest airports in the United States, with more than 50 million passengers passing through every year.
In fact, only six airports saw more passengers than the LAS airport in 2022.
And, according to J.D. Power, only two airports rank higher in terms of satisfaction.
That study by J.D. Power ranks airports based on terminal facilities, airport arrival/departure, baggage claim, security check, check-in/baggage check, and food/beverage/retail. Sin City scored a 787 out of 1,000 – which ranked third in the US, behind Minneapolis-Saint Paul (796) and Detroit Metro (800).
If you plan on being one of the 50+ million people passing through the Las Vegas airport this year, then you’re likely wondering what types of food and beverage options you’ll have while you wait to board.
Don’t worry – we’ve got you covered!
