The main entry point for the glitzy city, the airport doesn’t go for over-the-top Vegas razzle dazzle. But it does contain more than 1000 slot machines.
We get to the airport in the way Vegas intended – in a resort-provided limo. An Uber from the north of the Las Vegas Strip is about $US23 . Bus services, most notably the 108, link the Strip and the airport for $4. Harry Reid International is adjacent to the southern end of the Strip, which means you’ll get some eye-popping views of the extravagant resorts on the way.
Any expectations of neon garishness are quickly dispelled. At first glance, Terminal 3 is a long, grey-beige strip of interchangeable blandness. However, the check-in area hints at a penchant for displaying art – the back wall shows off a glass and metal work of what look like mother-of-pearl bubbles. Elsewhere, there are Peter Lik photos of natural landscapes at security and, by the E gates, an installation of hanging butterflies with airline logos on the wings.
In the most Las Vegas-style diversion possible, the airport has more than 1000 slot machines. There are several banks of gaudy, flashing money-drainers for those who wish to gamble away their reserves of US currency before getting on the plane. More wholesome time-killing can be practised at the Xpres Spa, which has massage chairs and treatment rooms. It’s $US50 for a neck and back massage or $55 for a pedicure.
