That’s right, no more layovers on your journey into or out of Sin City! The new service started on November 17th, and the nonstop flights are traveling between Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas and San Antonio International Airport. According to News 3, Spirit Airlines “held a special ribbon cutting ceremony and check presentation, where a special ‘Las Vegas’ themed cake was also spotted.”

Las Vegas: Reid International Ranked 5th Best Airport In North America

We already know Harry Reid International Airport is poppin’. With the thousands upon thousands of travelers that wander through the numerous concourses on a daily basis, the Las Vegas airport really has no choice but to be on top of it’s game. As a Vegas resident, I still walk through the place in awe. It’s always clean, TSA is always efficient, and it’s pretty easy to navigate compared to other major airports. I give Reid International an A+, and so did thousands of other travelers in a recent study completed by travelers.

According to the new J.D. Power survey, Las Vegas’ international airport has ranked among the best of the best airports in North America, with Harry Reid International Airport securing the #5 spot for “mega airports.” Mega airports are defined as airports that have 33 million travelers or more in a given year.

The 2022 North American Airport Satisfaction Study for “mega airports” is based on overall customer satisfaction, specifically looking at terminal facilities, airport arrival/departure, baggage claim, security check, check-in/baggage check, and food, beverage, and retail. According to News 3, “The study is based on more than 26,000 completed surveys from U.S. or Canadian residents or traveled through at least one airport in recent weeks.”

I totally believe our Las Vegas airport deserved that top ranking spot. Harry Reid International sees an INSANE amount of travelers day-in and day-out, year after year. So many are traveling to and from our beautiful city for the Vegas experience itself, but many others make stops at the airport during layovers. Regardless of passengers’ reasons for travel into Las Vegas, I’m honored that our airport has ranked among the best North America has to offer. So. Deserved. Congrats to all of those that have made Harry Reid International Airports the incredible travel hub that it is.

Check out which airports in North America also cracked the top 5:

  • 5. Harry Reid International Airport (Las Vegas)

    Formerly McCarran Airport (rip), Harry Reid International Airport is certainly a well-oiled machine in every category of the study. Go Vegas go!

  • 4. John F. Kennedy International Airport (New York)

    John F. Kennedy International Airport

    JFK International Airport is the 13th-busiest airport in the United States.

  • 3. Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport

    Detroit Metropolitan Airport

    Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport covers a whopping 4,850 acres in Romulus, Michigan!

  • 2. San Francisco International Airport

    San Francisco International Airport

    If you’ve never traveled to San Francisco International Airport… You should. It’s pretty impressive.

    Ranked: Nevada Among Top 10 States With Worst Road Rage

    We all have our road rage tendencies. Some of us are milder than others, but we all get aggravated when we get cut off by another car. It’s human nature. However, some of us respond in more confrontational ways than others. I usually keep it together pretty well and try to be understanding. We all make mistakes. But when a fellow driver sharing the road does something absolutely idiotic, I am not afraid to lay on the horn. It’s there for a reason, right?

    According to a new survey from Forbes Advisor, some states are home to more aggressive drivers who struggle to maintain their composure behind the wheel than others. This survey counted actions such as horn honking, rude gestures, and aggressive behaviors due to road rage. And, of course, after analyzing 10 key metrics from a survey of 5,000 drivers across the nation, Nevada‘s community of licensed drivers earned our state a spot on yet another top 10 list.

    Driving in Las Vegas is literally one of the scariest everyday tasks I complete. I always wonder before a drive if I’m going to make it safely to my location. That thought runs through my mind. Everyday. There’s no way to know for certain, no matter what state you’re in or where you’re going. But the ridiculousness on our roads and the road rage that results can be pretty terrifying and puts so many in danger.

    That said, Nevada is actually not the #1 state with the most confrontational drivers, according to this survey. Some of the top 10 genuinely surprised me… I wasn’t expecting to see Oklahoma pop up on the list. And I CERTAINLY wasn’t expecting the #1 state to be what it is. However, I would’ve bet my next paycheck that New York had earned a top rank. Surprisingly, they aren’t on the list.

    Do you agree with this ranking? See where Nevada fell in the top 10 states with the worst road rage:

    • 10) Delaware

      Delaware

      Oh, Delaware. It’s not that deep. Remain calm, and drive on.

    • 9) Washington

      Washington

      I’m actually shocked by this one. I thought Washington would’ve been home to a vast majority of calmer drivers…

    • 8) Indiana

      Indiana

      Chill out, Indiana.

    • 7) Maryland

      Maryland

      I’ve visited Maryland a few times. I must’ve encountered the milder drivers.

    • 6) Nevada

      Nevada

      Ah, our sweet “Silver State.” Couldn’t have seen this one coming, huh?

    • 5) New Mexico

      New Mexico

      The one experience I’ve had driving through New Mexico, I was, in fact, the victim of some road rage-driven confrontation. So I’d consider this one accurate, in my book.

    • 4) Oklahoma

      Oklahoma

      I’ve never visited Oklahoma, but I’ve always pictured it’s residents as very calm people. I don’t know. Apparently, I am wrong.

    • 3) Colorado

      Colorado

      Welcome to “Colorful Colorado,” where the language can get colorful behind the wheel.

    • 2) Missouri

      Missouri

      I had no idea that Missouri drivers could be so… angry.

    • 1) Utah

      Utah

      Maybe I’ve just been lucky on my trips to Utah… but this shocks me.

      10 Most Popular Dog Breeds For 2022, According To Trupanion

      We call them “man’s best friend” for a reason. They truly are! I’d be lost without my pup, and so would the millions of additional dog owners out there. They’re part of the family, and they never fail to make us smile when we need it most.

      While all dog owners can agree that their furry friends play an crucial role in their homes and their happiness, we also know that we all have preferences when it comes to our different breeds. Every breed has its own special set of characteristics that make them unique. Personality traits that one person may love might not be another person’s cup of tea. Some like bigger dogs, and some prefer for their pup to fit in the palm of their hand. And that’s totally fine! Everyone is different, and so is every individual breed and dog. That’s why it’s great that there are hundreds of different dog breeds. There’s a doggo out there for everyone!

      We officially have the list of the most popular dog breeds for this year based on the results of a survey by Trupanion. I’ll be honest… a couple might surprise you. I’m shocked to see that a few breeds I would personally deem some of the very most common did not crack the top 10. I’m just as shocked that a couple others ‘marked their territory’ at the top of the list. (Get it?)

      If you are looking into breeds and contemplating getting a dog this year, consider researching these popular breeds. After all, they are the top 10 most popular this year for a reason. People love them!

        9 Dog-Friendly Restaurants In Las Vegas

        Las Vegas is full of expensive break-the-bank restaurants, mom and pop shops and small local eateries. Being a pet owner, the question that always comes up is, “Can I bring my dog?” Finding a restaurant that not only seats people but our furry companions can be troublesome. Vegas, Henderson and the other surrounding cities are very pet friendly with dog oriented parks and pet businesses catered just for dog owners.

        As cliche as it sounds, “Dog is man’s best friend” first said by Frederick, King of Prussia, is actually true. Pets can’t speak human but they know what we are saying when we communicate to them. They are an essential part of the family as if they were a brother, sister, cousin or uncle. For a lot of us, our pets are the first thing we see in the morning and the first ones to welcome us home from a long day of work.

        We take care of our dogs as if they were a baby. We feed them, wash them, take them for a “w-a-l-k”, cuddle them and make sure they are up to date on all of their shots. It’s our responsibility as a dog owner to provide the best life that we can give to our pets. After all, pets give us something that is so valuable it’s priceless. What is it you ask? Their unconditional love.

        We scoured the internet looking for dog friendly restaurants and cafes that welcome our furry four-legged friends with open arms. We can report back knowing that we have found nine locations with great staff and great plate options. The best part is that most to all of them have outdoor seating or an open patio. Bring your doggo’s water bowl as many of the restaurants will fill it with water. We hope you and your dog enjoy the best lunch ever.
