Outgoing travelers can check bags & obtain boarding passes hours before heading to McCarran with Airport SpeedCheck Advance
LAS VEGAS – McCarran International Airport has added a new location at which travelers can take advantage of its popular off-airport baggage program, Airport SpeedCheck Advance.
Through Monday, Southwest Airlines customers can check bags and obtain boarding passes from inside The Venetian’s front desk lobby. This temporary location was installed to ease the departure process for many of the 130,000 visitors who came to Las Vegas this week for the annual International Consumer Electronics Show.
Four more off-airport check-in locations are available for travelers flying on Delta Air Lines, Frontier Airlines, United Airlines, US Airways and Southwest. These sites are located at the Las Vegas Convention Center (Central Concourse, across from Exhibit Hall C3); Luxor (Business Center level near VIP check-in); McCarran Rent-A-Car Center (main lobby); and The Venetian’s Sands Expo Center (Level 1, near the Package Center).
Advance check-in times vary by airline. Log on to www.mccarran.com for further details, including telephone numbers and specific hours of operation at each Airport SpeedCheck Advance by Bags To Go site. A $20 per customer service fee applies for baggage handling, though boarding passes can be obtained off-airport at no cost.
Here’s how the process works: travelers flying on participating airlines stop by any of the five off-airport locations to check in for their flight. Representatives of Bags To Go then transport their pre-checked bags to McCarran, where items are screened by the Transportation Security Administration and later loaded onto the proper outbound aircraft. When they arrive at McCarran, travelers can simply bypass the skycaps and ticketing counters and head directly to their gate. They’ll later find their bags awaiting them at their destination airport.
McCarran has safely and successfully offered off-site baggage check-in since May 2006. Travelers enjoy the convenience of shedding their bags at their hotel or convention venue hours in advance of their flight’s scheduled departure, allowing them to better focus on their remaining business or pleasure activities while in Las Vegas.

SpeedCheck Advance at McCarran's Rent-A-Car Center |

By Richard Velotta / Staff Writer The Las Vegas Sun
McCarran International Airport was ready to open the doors of a new rental-car facility that will consolidate companies in one place, take traffic off the roads around the airport and allow the existing baggage-claim area to be expanded.
The opening of the new 111,000-square-foot facility, known as the McCarran Rent-A-Car Center, eventually will lead to the development of additional overflow parking for the airport's parking garages.
The facility on 68 acres at Gilespie Street between George Crockett and Warm Springs roads south of McCarran was slated to open April 4 with a grand opening scheduled April 16. The $166.8 million center opened several months later than the contracted completion date because of weather and contractor delays.
The new facility has a public lobby area accessible to 11 rental companies and three walkways to different sections of a three-level, 1.8 million-square-foot parking garage with room for more than 5,000 vehicles. The city's fourth Airport SpeedCheck Advance baggage check-in center is located at the facility, giving locals a good reason to use the rental center. |
