McCarran International Airport (IATA: LAS, ICAO: KLAS, FAA LID: LAS) is the principal commercial airport serving Las Vegas and Clark County, Nevada, United States. The airport is located five miles (8 km) south of the central business district of Las Vegas, in the unincorporated area of Paradise in Clark County. It covers an area of 2,800 acres (1,100 ha) and has four runways. McCarran is owned by Clark County and operated by the Clark County Department of Aviation (DOA). It serves as a focus city for Allegiant Air, Southwest Airlines, and US Airways (Focus city ends January 31); McCarran is also the largest operation base for both Allegiant and Southwest. It is named after the former Nevada Senator Pat McCarran.
In 2008, McCarran ranked 15th in the world for passenger traffic, with 44,074,707 passengers passing through the terminal. The airport ranked 6th in the world for aircraft movements with 578,949 takeoffs and landings. McCarran and the DOA are completely self-sufficient enterprises, requiring no money from the County's general fund.
As of September 2008, Southwest Airlines operated more flights out of McCarran than at any other airport. Southwest also carries the most passengers in and out of McCarran. Southwest currently operates out of 21 gates, primarily in Concourse C. The US Airways night-flight hub operation, established in 1986 by predecessor America West Airlines, makes the carrier McCarran's second busiest airline. Due to the 2008 energy crisis the night hub was closed in September 2008. US Airways will close its focus city operations at McCarran on January 31, 2010.

* Route #109A services the South Strip Transit Center, the consolidated rental car facility and Maryland Parkway.
* "The Deuce" bus service along the Las Vegas Strip connects with Route 109A (south) at the South Strip Transit Center; there is no direct bus service from the airport to The Strip. Both Route #109A and "The Deuce" operated 24 hours a day as of late 2009.
The Consolidated Rental Car Facility, located 3 miles from the airport at 7135 Gilespie Street, provides 5,000 parking spaces on 68 acres (280,000 m2) of land. A fleet of 40 buses provides free transportation from the terminals to the facility, which upon opening housed 11 car rental companies.The Facility is not accessible from the Strip, and is accessed both by buses and customers primarily via US Interstate 215. Rental firms strongly advise customers to allow additional time to account for locating and driving to the facility, and the bus ride back to the airport.
