Layover Tips

Making the most of your time at Harry Reid International Airport

Minimum connection time: 45 minutes
4h: With 4 hours at LAS, stay close to the airport. Clear immigration/security, then take a quick rideshare or taxi (10–15 minutes) to the south Strip. Walk through the Luxor, Excalibur, and New York-New York for a fast taste of themed casinos and grab a bite at New York-New York’s Village Street Eateries or Shake Shack. If you prefer to stay at the airport, explore the aviation-themed Howard W. Cannon Aviation Museum exhibits in Terminal 1 and relax at The Club LAS lounge (both terminals, fee-based access). Allow at least 60–90 minutes to get back through security before boarding.
8h: With 8 hours, you can see a slice of the Strip. From LAS, take a taxi or rideshare to the Bellagio area (15–20 minutes). Stroll the Strip between Bellagio, Caesars Palace, The Cosmopolitan, and Paris Las Vegas. Watch the Bellagio Fountains (shows every 15–30 minutes), visit the Bellagio Conservatory & Botanical Gardens, and walk through The Forum Shops at Caesars for upscale browsing. If you want a view, ride the High Roller at The LINQ for a 30-minute spin. Eat at a well-known spot like Mon Ami Gabi (Paris Las Vegas), Eggslut (The Cosmopolitan), or Yardbird (The Venetian). Head back to the airport 2 hours before your flight to clear security comfortably.
24h: With 24 hours, you can enjoy a full Vegas sampler. Check into a Strip hotel such as Bellagio, The Venetian, or MGM Grand (20–25 minutes from LAS by taxi/rideshare). Spend the afternoon exploring the Strip: Bellagio Conservatory, Fountains, and nearby ARIA and The Cosmopolitan. In the evening, catch a Cirque du Soleil show (like “O” at Bellagio or “KA” at MGM Grand) or a headliner concert. Dine at a signature restaurant such as Gordon Ramsay Hell’s Kitchen (Caesars Palace), Momofuku (The Cosmopolitan), or Bazaar Meat by José Andrés (Sahara Las Vegas). If you’re up late, visit Fremont Street Experience downtown for live music, the Viva Vision light show, and classic casinos like Golden Nugget. The next morning, consider a quick visit to the Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas sign (near Mandalay Bay) or a short trip to Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area (allow 3–4 hours round-trip with transport and a scenic drive). Return to LAS at least 2 hours before departure (3 hours for international flights).

Getting There & Away

Transport options to/from the airport

tips: Allow extra time at LAS during peak periods, especially weekends and major events. If you have a short layover, stick to the south or central Strip to minimize transit time. Use rideshare or taxis for the fastest connection; public buses are cheaper but slower. In hot months, plan outdoor walking for early morning or evening and stay hydrated. Check resort parking fees if renting a car, and verify show times and ticket availability in advance.
from_airport: Harry Reid International Airport (LAS) is about 10–20 minutes by car from most Strip hotels. Taxis, rideshares (Uber, Lyft), and shuttles are available from both Terminal 1 and Terminal 3. Taxis use a metered fare; rideshare pickup zones are signed in the parking garages. Some off-Strip hotels offer limited shuttle services—check in advance. For downtown, expect 20–30 minutes by car depending on traffic.
public_transit: The Regional Transportation Commission (RTC) operates buses from LAS. The CX and Route 109 connect the airport to the Strip and downtown with transfers. On the Strip, the Deuce and SDX (when operating) run along Las Vegas Boulevard, while the Las Vegas Monorail connects several east-side Strip resorts from MGM Grand to SAHARA Las Vegas. Tickets can be purchased at machines or via the RTC app and monorail kiosks.
