Slot machines at the airport lol. I had the same anxiety issue too. I stayed in the house for years. I love seeing where I am going before I get there. I found a balance the last few years and now I get out to see the world! Never give up because it can always change! I definitely need to get out to Vegas one of these years! 🙂
The first time I flew to Las Vegas (which was about 6 years ago) it was a bit overwhelming trying to figure out where to go (I was being picked up by one of the local hotel's shuttle service at the time, which no longer seems to be a thing -- at least for free). Anyway, just follow the signs as they are pretty well laid out and you can figure out where to go. It's not as obvious if you're trying to get to the rental car center though (which requires a ride on the shuttle bus, which is outside of the baggage claim area -- that part isn't exactly clear, although once you do it, you remember). For me, I didn't necessarily have to see where I was going ahead of time, although with large airports like Chicago's O'Hare it is helpful because that airport can become confusing (LAS isn't that confusing really, as there are only two terminals for passenger flights departures/arrivals: T1 and T3, unlike ones like Chicago that have 5 terminals, 4 of which are domestic but at different areas of the airport, and the newer terminal 5 at O'hare is it's own building basically). I'll be flying back to Las Vegas later this year (haven't been there since before COVID so about 2019) so it will be interesting to see what's changed overall, especially since they renamed the airport and pretty much removed all references to the Senator Patrick McCarran it seems (after some 73 years). Oddly I think the rental car center is still called the McCarran Rental Car center.
Congrats on conquering your fears Jennifer! I always had a fear of flying and I conquered that fear with my first flight to Las Vegas. Actually I flew to Florida first time but I was with a group of people and had to drink tequila before to even get on the plane. The tequila didn't help only to get me in my seat. Thank goodness it was only a 2 hour flight. I flew to Las Vegas myself with no tequila at all. Now it is no problem for me to travel by air. It was McCarran when I was at the Las Vegas airport but from what I remember looks pretty much the same as most airports do for the most part. It is good to get to the airport early like you said as it makes for a lot less stress. I didn't play the slots at the airport as I hear they have lousy payout rates. I flew to Las Vegas twice and hope to do it again very soon. The three Las Vegas casinos I stayed at were Mandalay Bay my first time and then both Treasure Island and Red Rock my second time to Vegas. Both times I traveled solo and glad to hear you were brave enough to fly solo to Las Vegas as well. Flights to Las Vegas always seem like a lot of fun on the plane. Lots of high energy and good luck feelings. Trips home made for sleeping at least for me as I always took the red eyes home. I did not eat at the Vegas airport but had a really good meal at Philadelphia airport my first trip to Las Vegas due to a flight delay caused by weather. I had great airport experiences on both my trips to Las Vegas. Thanks for bringing back the memories.
Thank you for your story! So glad you conquered your flying fear as well. It’s so freeing! Hope you get to go to Vegas again soon 😊 never been to a red rock do you recommend it??
@@JenniferSparksSavoy Yes I do recommend red rock although it is off the strip so that might be a negative for a lot of people. It has a huge movie complex inside and a bowling alley too. My room was very nice.
Great Video ! Did you ride the Brightline Rail at Orlando ? When are they going to connect the LV Monorail to the Airport and the new Brightline Station ? tjl
Thank you! I’m not sure what brightline is. I will have to check that out! You heard the LV monorail is going to connect with the airport? That would be amazing. I heard about the possibility of more Tesla’s like by the convention center happening at the airport but I don’t know how true that is or when that will happen 🤷♀️
I get a anxiety too but jeeez. I look forward to the unknown when I go to new places. Especially places like this that are designed for nothing buy fun. Relax people... lol
Senator McCarran was considered a controversial senator so they tried to name it after another powerful, yet also controversial politician from Nevada. Basically would be like renaming Louisville’s or Cincinnati’s airport after Sen. McConnell. 😂🤦🏾♂️
@@wmboi89 I think it IS a tram....underground one, but you MUST look carefully at the signs of where your airlines dropped your luggage at what color (red or blue) and once you are down that long escalator, then go find your tram.....get ready thou, that bugger is FAST!!!!
This is the worst airport if you have an oversized vehicle or just trying to get picked up here. Everyone you ask for help seems incompetent as it pertains to the orientation of the airport. Terrible experience 👎
This is EXACTLY what I was looking for. The anxiety struggle is real and I definitely like knowing exactly what to expect. Thank you!
So happy I was able to help. I was terrified and ended up having such a good time 😊 you got this!
@@JenniferSparksSavoy for what i heard from a resident of henderson...near vegas, the unbearable time is when the temperature reaches over 100degrees.
Your voice is so calm, thanks for the info and I’m glad you found the courage to get out lol safe travels.
Thank you 😊 ❤️
What a beautiful video. I feel calm just by watching this. Much luck to you.
Thank you Rose 🌹😊❤️
Thank you! I’m 17 traveling alone and I have a 5 hour layover in this airport, but this helps my anxiety 😊
You will be fine! It’s very exciting! Have a wonderful time!

Yes you do! It’s so much fun here! I’m back here again now lol 😂
@@JenniferSparksSavoy have fun!
I’m so happy for you. I know the struggle. Your videos give me conform.
❤️❤️❤️❤️ all little steps lead to a biigger step!
Love it! I suffer from anxiety too! TY

Been thru it. It was ok. Expensive
My boss is scheduled to go Vegas soon for his vacation.....damn! talk about jealous :)

Thanks for this, Jennifer, I found it very, very helpful. Is the Village Pub on this level?
Thank you! Glad it helped. I’m not sure if that answer. Sorry 😞

I think videos like this help us to relax. ❤❤❤
Does the seating area has a charging stations, something to charge your phone and tablets?
Yea not every seat has them but there were outlets available
What happened to Mccarran?

Have a wonderful trip!
@@JenniferSparksSavoy ty

Leaving to mexico tomorrow and have to go to terminal 3 to the volaris counter
Hope you had a great trip!

The name Harry Reid makes me want to up chuck
Thought it was called mccarren? What’s the story with that??
Senator McCarran was considered a controversial senator so they tried to name it after another powerful, yet also controversial politician from Nevada. Basically would be like renaming Louisville’s or Cincinnati’s airport after Sen. McConnell. 😂🤦🏾♂️
Me to even though I just went to Mexico and came back to Vegas
@@JenniferSparksSavoy Harry Reid died so they changed the name in his honor.
Is there a tram service train that will take me from terminal 1 to terminal 3 ? I have a connect flight
There is a shuttle bus that continuously runs between terminals
So the tram train won’t take me to the terminal ?

I work in terminal 3 lol
Hello! 👋
From SIN CITY to WALT DISNEY WORLD!
Haha yea that was quite a leap in atmospheres!
This is the worst airport if you have an oversized vehicle or just trying to get picked up here. Everyone you ask for help seems incompetent as it pertains to the orientation of the airport. Terrible experience 👎
Sorry to hear you had a bad experience. Thank you for sharing!
The former Senator was a kind gentleman.
He was a Jerk.
Orlandois going to be more s😢tringent with the rules due to the rules they have in florida due to the violence and shootings .
Harry Reid Airport...lol...nobody that lives here wanted to name our airport after such a skeeze... it's McCarran International Airport.
So plain
Nothing there
