Why ticket prices are lower at Harry Reid International Airport
According to AFAR, Harry Reid International Airport (LAS) is one of the busiest airports in the United States. In 2022 alone, LAS had a whopping 52.7 million passengers. This growth is not slowing down anytime soon, as it’s believed the airport will outgrow its current facilities by 2030. However, this is what makes flight prices so cost-effective. The more flights leaving Las Vegas, the cheaper their cost will be. This pattern will likely continue as long as tourism in the city skyrockets.
In 2023, LAS came in at number three on J.D. Power’s North American Airport Satisfaction Study in their Mega Airport category. This might not be surprising once you learn of LAS’ diverse amenities. The airport has a 24-hour aviation museum in Terminal 1 that guests can enjoy. For parents traveling with young children, there is an indoor playground at the D Gates.
Interestingly, LAS has an onsite gym in Terminal 1 – ZEROlevel Fitness. A day pass for travelers costs $25. The gym also offers sleep rooms with a twin bed for individuals who want to rest before their flight. They can be booked for a minimum of two hours for $40.
Gambling is a given in Vegas, and LAS has a plethora of slot machines that can be found throughout the airport’s terminals. In July 2023, a passenger won $1.2 million playing on a slot machine in LAS. In September of that year, another passenger won $643,435. The slot machines are open to all who are 21 and older.
