	Terminal 3 to D gates / D gates to Terminal 3

Airport Shuttle Bus — Outside the Secure Area

The airport shuttle bus runs every 20 to 30 minutes and transports passengers between terminals. Buses operate outside of the secure area, so passengers need to re-clear security on arrival at the connecting terminal.

Terminal 1’s A, B, and C gates are connected via pedestrian walkways.

The A and B gates are closely located just a short walk from each other, while the C gates are a bit further away. To reach the C gates, passengers need to walk through the C annex from the B gates or walk through the corridor next to the A/B security checkpoint.

Final Thoughts

LAS is one of the largest U.S. airports, so some prior planning may be in order to ensure arrival at the correct terminal as they are not interconnected outside of the secure area.

The airport tram is only accessible once passengers have cleared security and is a convenient mode of transport for passengers connecting to other flights where it’s not necessary to reclaim checked luggage.

The airport is just a few miles from the start of the Las Vegas Strip, so visitors can stay in the famous resorts and hotels without worrying about a long journey back to the airport.

Playing catch up, Amar embarked on an 11-country round-the-world gap year after graduation and then became well and truly hooked. The first gap year inspired a second which ended up being a 23-country down-the-world trip from Canada to Antarctica. Since then Amar has endeavored to turn his gap year into a "gap life" and has spent the last 13 years traveling the 7 continents. He has also lived in places such as Australia, Colombia, Costa Rica, and Mexico.

As a Vegas local, I found this to be one of the better reviews on our airport! I thought you might be interested in some additional information to make your article more complete.

Over 1,300 Slot Machines are located throughout the airport. You must be 21 years or older to play.

Due to COVID reductions in service, all airlines traditionally assigned to the E Gates are temporarily flying out of the D gates. Ticketing and baggage claim; however, will still continue for those airlines in Terminal 3.

Due to COVID reductions in service, the C Annex Security Checkpoint is temporarily closed.

Zero Level Fitness is a full-sized gym located underneath the baggage claim area of Terminal 1. Look for Baggage Carousel #10 and take the elevator nearest it to Floor 0. The gym conducts group fitness classes, and a spa is located on-site. If you’re not in the mood to workout, the gym rents single-occupancy Sleeping Rooms by the hour, which will give you access to the shower and sauna facilities.

A full-service U.S. Post office is located on the 2nd floor of Terminal 1, above the baggage claim area.

Aviation Museum exhibits are scattered throughout the airport, on both sides of security.

Wells Fargo Bank, terminal 1, before security, on the 2nd floor. ATMs for Wells Fargo Bank and Clark County Credit Union can be found throughout the airport, on both sides of security. All Travelex Currency Exchange locations are temporarily closed.

Fresh flowers are sold in vending machines found in the baggage claim area of both terminals.

A full-service Liquor Store is located in the baggage claim area of Terminal 1.

Chocolate shops: Vegas’ own candy maker, Ethel M, runs a chocolate shop in every one of the passenger Concourses.

Duty free stores are now found in both D & E gates.

The Terminal 1 Uber/Lyft ride share pick-up spot recently moved. It is now located on Level 2 of the parking garage. It is no longer on Level 2M. The ride share pickup location for Terminal 3 remains the same: Valet Level (Floor 1) of the parking garage. (Note that there is no longer a Terminal 2 at LAS. It was demolished several years ago.)

CLEAR extended its services to the C-annex security checkpoint. That being said, they have temporarily consolidated their services to just the C/D Checkpoint in Terminal 1, and the D/E checkpoint in Terminal 3.

Airport lounges with showers include the American Express Centurion Lounge, and both locations of the Club at LAS.

Due to COVID, the E Gates location of the Club at LAS, as well as the United Club, and the Centurion Lounge are temporarily closed.

An interesting fact about international flights arriving at the D gates: all international passengers will walk through a secure underground tunnel that leads to Terminal 3. There, they will be processed by Customs and Border Control.

Hooters Casino (mentioned in the Airport Hotels section) is now called OYO Hotel & Casino.

Keep up the awesome work. Hope this helps!

Is it possible to get a wheelchair to help get a person around the airport?

  Hi Michael,
  
  Yes, if you contact the airline you are flying in advance they can help facilitate this for you.

Thanks for the comprehensive information. This is certainly helpful. As a suggestion, it would also be good to document the approximate time to the lounges from the various terminals. For example, the Centurion lounge in D concourse is something people traveling from concourses A,B and C may also want to visit but knowing how long it will take to go back and forth might be helpful in deciding if they have enough time or not.

Do they have different zones outside the terminal for cell phone lot pick up or just an area for which airline you flew in on?

  Hi Charles,
  
  There should not be separate zones. The cell phone lot holds everyone waiting to pick up an arriving passenger.

  It’s pretty easy: Let your ride know they can wait for you at the cell phone lot. Please be aware that there are no restroom facilities, your friend will need up remain in their car, and all cars are asked to leave the lot between the hours of 1:00 am – 6:00 am. The address is: 673 Kitty Hawk Way, Las Vegas, NV 89119
  
  When you arrive, if you follow the directions in main article, you’ll be just fine. (It’s the 2 paragraphs above the Cell Phone Lot bold section.) From baggage claim, you’ll go outside, cross the bridge over the road, and go to Level 1 of the parking terrace.
  
  Once you’re there, you’ll notice numbers are painted on posts above the sidewalk. When you call your friend to pick you up, you can tell them the number you are standing by, AS WELL AS which parking garage you are in. (Either Terminal 1 pushing or Terminal 3 parking.)
  
  Author: please update your article, according to the Uber info I left in my Aug 2020 comment. Twice in the article you say that Terminal 1 ride share pickup is located at level 2M. You are directing your readers to the wrong location, and it’s very possible that they might not read into the comments that the correct location is Level 2. (Yes, the elevator actually has different buttons for 2 as well as 2M. Go figure!)
  
  Also, you may wish to update the fact that Clear has been available at ALL checkpoints for some time now.

It would be nice if the sitting areas in front of Gates D, E and any other Gates were open between each individual chair so people can lay down and rest while they wait for Gates to open. Thanks.
