About this corridor

Flying from Los Angeles International

Los Angeles International spreads across nine terminals arranged in a U around the central hub, with the inter-terminal LAX-it shuttle and the new Automated People Mover (opening late 2026) connecting them. Metro Rail does not yet enter the airport directly — the K Line shuttle and FlyAway bus to Union Station are the rail-adjacent options. American, Delta, United, Southwest and Alaska all run major operations here; international long-haul fills T2 and the Tom Bradley International Terminal.

Arriving in Las Vegas

Las Vegas's Harry Reid International is 5 miles south of the central Strip — a five-minute taxi ride to most resorts. There is no rail; the airport shuttle, taxis, monorail-shuttle hybrid and rideshare handle the volume. Convention-week demand spikes (CES in January, NAB in April, Magic Apparel in February) push fares 2–3× their normal levels. Tuesday and Wednesday departures and arrivals are routinely the cheapest.
