You will find Harry Reid International Airport located five miles south of downtown Las Vegas in Paradise, Nevada. Covering 2,800 acres, this facility serves as the primary gateway to the Las Vegas Valley. Owned by Clark County and operated by its Department of Aviation, the airport handles tens of millions of travelers each year, standing as a major domestic and international aviation hub for southern Nevada visitors.
Navigating the airport is straightforward, featuring two main passenger facilities: Terminal 1 and Terminal 3, along with satellite Concourse D. Terminal 1 contains Concourses A, B, and C, while Terminal 3 manages the E gates and international arrivals. An automated people mover system connects central terminals to gate concourses. Uniquely, you can also enjoy legalized slot machine gaming directly inside the passenger terminals before your flight.
01 Terminals & concourses
Terminal 1 contains Concourses A, B, and C, offering passenger amenities, museum exhibits, and slot machine gaming.
Terminal 3 houses the E gates, handles international arrivals, and connects directly to Concourse D via a pedestrian tunnel.
Concourse D is a satellite gate area connected by automated people mover lines to both Terminal 1 and Terminal 3.

Lost, delayed or damaged baggage at LAS
If your checked bag doesn't turn up on the belt, act before you leave the baggage-claim area — that's where every airline keeps its Baggage Service Office.
- Go to your airline's Baggage Service Office in the baggage-claim hall of your arrival terminal.
- File a Property Irregularity Report (PIR) and get your file reference (WorldTracer) number. Keep your bag-tag receipt and boarding pass.
- Track it online using that reference on your airline's baggage-tracking page — most bags are located within 24–48 hours.
- Claim your essentials. On delayed bags airlines reimburse reasonable interim purchases (toiletries, clothing) — keep receipts. International trips are covered by the Montreal Convention.
- If it's truly lost (generally after 21 days) or damaged, file the claim at the same office — damage must be reported before you leave the airport.
Left something in the terminal (not a checked bag)? That's handled by the airport Lost & Found. Items left at a TSA security checkpoint are held by the TSA, not the airline.
