It features one of the best nightlife attractions in the entire world so it’s no surprise that it is visited by some 38.9 billion tourists every year. And to transport such a huge number to and from the city, it has one of the best airports as well:

North las Vegas airport: This airport which some people may be familiar with is operated by the Clark County Department of Aviation and is owned by Clark County. It’s located about three miles northwest of North Las Vegas, the business district of Las Vegas.

The airport has three runways in operation, with the airport itself covering a total land area of roughly 920 acres all in all. The original name of the airport is Sky Haven Airport.

North Las Vegas Airport is one of the busiest airports in the whole state. It mostly takes on scenic tours and other such miscellaneous flights. This is so because commercial flights are the main concern of McCarran International Airport, which is another Las Vegas airport.

McCarran International Airport: This airport is one of the busiest airports in the entire United States and is also owned by Clark County. it has the distinction of being the principal commercial airport in all of Las Vegas. It is located in the town of Paradise, which is south of Las Vegas’s central business district.

McCarran International Airport has four runways and spans a total of 2,800 acres.

Plans for an expansion of the McCarran International Airport are currently well underway. Legislation for additional land purchase was signed on October 28, 2000, with the airport itself expected to finish construction in the year 2017.
