Over the last 8-9 years, I've flown into the Vegas airport numerous times. Not because I'm a big party animal, but because I have family who lives there. It's always funny to see people's reaction when I tell them I go there to visit my niece/nephew and not to party or gamble. They just can't seem to comprehend it...\n\nAnyhoo, this airport is fine for what it is. It has a worn down feel to it. Not sure if the slot machines are a pro or con, since I'm not a gambler. And the restaurant options leave much to be desired.\n\nHowever, this airport isn't BAD, either. Security is generally amiable. Flights are generally on-time no matter which airline you fly. I guess there really aren't many weather issues here (vs. fog in SFO or snow in Denver). If you check your bag, it's pretty easy to find the carousel that you need. And if someone is picking you up, parking in the garage is cheap ($2/hour) and the drive-by pickup is easy too.\n\nI don't cringe when booking a flight into McCarran, but I don't necessarily jump up and down with excitement, either. It's just a means to an end in my world.
