Airport Information

San Diego (SAN)

San Diego International Airport (SAN) is remarkably unique due to its single-runway operation and its extremely close proximity to downtown San Diego. Located just three miles from the city center, it offers travelers stunning views of the skyline and San Diego Harbor during takeoff and landing. The airport features two main terminals, with most regional flights to Las Vegas departing from the historic Terminal 1 or the expanded Terminal 2, both of which provide a variety of local dining options and craft beer selections that reflect the city's famous brewing culture.

Las Vegas (LAS)

Harry Reid International Airport (LAS), formerly known as McCarran, serves as the primary gateway to Southern Nevada and is situated just five miles south of downtown Las Vegas. It is one of the few airports in the world where you can find slot machines right in the terminals, allowing visitors to start their gaming experience the moment they step off the plane. The airport is divided into Terminal 1 and Terminal 3, so it is crucial to check your specific airline's location to ensure you head to the correct baggage claim and ground transportation area for a seamless exit to the hotels.
