Make the most of your time at Harry Reid International Airport (LAS) with these suggestions.
Restaurants & Cafes (notable happens among terminals)
Shake Shack (Concourse B): faster, trustworthy burgers and shakes; ideal place when you need your meal before the flight, fast and satisfying.
Jose Cuervo Tequineria (Concourse C): Mexican dishes and cocktails; this is a good place to go and sit down when you are in time and you need something with the Las Vegas touch.
Wolfgang Puck Express (Various concourses / central areas): the local-chef chain of surgeons to eat the quick pizza, or pasta/salad should you seek a bit of the often used fast-sit down.
Village Pub (Terminal 3, E Gates): bar fare and relaxed seating close to international gates, handy for both arrival and departure.
Local coffee & grab-and-go kiosks (throughout T1 & T3): for craft coffee or quick snacks; great when you want something fast and caffeinated.
Shops & Lifestyle Stores
Duty-free and Travel Retail (Concourse D / T3 departures): is alcohol, perfumes, and gift area in international departures; collection point and opening hours then takes over as 24 / 7.
Local souvenirs & specialty kiosks (throughout): small shops offering Vegas-themed mementos, snacks, and last-minute gifts; ideal if you forgot a present or want one final Vegas trinket.
Tech & travel essentials stores: pick up chargers, headphones or travel pillows near main concourse malls; always useful for delayed or overnight trips.
Lounges & Relax Spots
The Centurion Lounge (Concourse D): American Express lounge with curated food and drinks; access for AmEx platinum/centurion cardholders and guests where allowed. Book early — it fills up.
The Club LAS: independent lounge with day-pass and Priority Pass access in T1 concourses; solid option if you lack airline status.
United Club / Delta Sky Club / Carrier lounges (Concourse D/E): airline lounges for eligible ticket holders; facilities vary but generally include snacks, Wi-Fi and quiet seating.
Public quiet corners & art displays: for free downtime, hunt small seating pockets near murals — surprisingly peaceful for reading or a nap.
Other Activities & Unique Features
Echoes of Las Vegas mural (Northwest wing of D Gates): a long panoramic mural tracing the city’s history — an unhurried 10-minute wanderable piece that makes the airport feel more local.
Aviation displays & rotating exhibits: check the airport’s “Dine, Shop & More / Attractions” pages for current displays and occasional live music or events in the terminal. It’s a nice break if you’ve got a long layover.
3-hour layover — stay airside: You land, clear security and are in a concourse near your next gate. Grab a quick burger or bagel (Shake Shack or Siegel’s Bagelmania), then walk the mural in Concourse D to stretch your legs. If you need calm, buy a day-pass to The Club LAS (or use Priority Pass) for a quiet 45–60 minute recharge before gate time.
5–6-hour layover — quick strip loop (only if you have time): In case you are tempted by the Strip, a quick coffee or a walk over the giant casinos (at least 2.5-3 hours round-trip), a taxi or a ride-share (10-20 mins each way) can bring you there in 5-6 hours. Otherwise, wait at the terminal: dine, buy at the duty-free, and have a rest in a lounge. You can only leave when you are satisfied with the transit time and security re-entry.
8+-hour layover — half-day Vegas plan: Head off-airport: take a quick taxi to the Strip, walk a stretch (Bellagio fountains, walk to a nearby eatery), and maybe drop into a museum or quick show if time allows. Return to LAS allowing at least two hours for security and buffer against Strip traffic. If you prefer to stay, take a slow-paced airport art walk, have a relaxed meal, and unwind in a lounge or Minute Suite before your next flight.
Airport Facilities Overview (practical sidebar)
Duty-Free Shopping: Main duty-free is in international departure areas (Concourse D/E in Terminal 3). Expect fragrances, alcohol, chocolates and travel items; selection is strongest in the international departure zones, so shop early if you’re leaving the country. Tip: compare larger retailers online — electronics aren’t always cheaper in airports.
Dining / Dining Overview: There are both fast food chains and themed sit-downs such as Jose Cuervo Tequileria, and local names; Terminal 1 has a larger number of casual outlets with a high footprint, whereas the Terminal 3 close to international terminuses provides some less busy pubs and restaurants. There is at least some decent grab-and-go in most concourses where there are early/late flights.
Lounges: LAS has a number of lounges that are located on T1 and T3 (Centurion Lounge, The Club LAS, United Club, Delta Sky Club and others). Most airlines usually provide Wi-Fi, snacks, seats and occasionally showers; facilities and amenities vary depending on the type of ticket, elite status or paid day pass - pre-booking is recommended on busier travel days.
Ground Transportation: The Strip is located in proximity with the airport (10-20 min drive). Alternatives: taxis, ride-share, airport shuttles and region transit (RTC airport routes/strip shuttles). HINT: where there are events on, wait times will be increased, ride-share could be quicker than a taxi during rush hours.
Traveler Essentials: You’ll find ATMs, currency exchange, SIM/eSIM kiosks and travel-essentials stores in arrivals. Baggage wrapping and porter services are available; for storage or long-term left-luggage, check ahead—airports sometimes change offerings. If you need medical help, head to information counters for directions to first-aid resources.
