    The Las Vegas Airport gets more fabulous

    ride sharing, , ,

    We got a preview last week, but here are snaps from the celebration for the new rideshare pickup area at Terminal 1 at Harry Reid International Airport (LAS).

    As part of the new “Welcome to Fabulous” campaign for Las Vegas, the airport’s rideshare area now has a nice Las Vegas-style refresh, with vibrant lighting, additional seating and a custom neon selfie wall.

    The Las Vegas showgirls and the DJ on site for the unveiling won’t be a regular thing. But the selfie wall is staying and there will be surprise activations at the rideshare area to mark special events and occasions.

    If you’re flying to Las Vegas but not taking a rideshare into the city, you can get a great selfie inside Terminal 1 at the giant selfie station by the A/B checkpoint featuring Vegas Vicki with a bench beside her for guests.

    We’ll make these new Welcome to Las Vegas amenities at Harry Reid International Airport (LAS) an early nomination for Airport Amenity of the Week.

    Places we’d go. Things we don’t want to miss.

    Las Vegas wants you

    Visitor numbers to Las Vegas have been declining. And the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority is rolling out a national “Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas” campaign to lure visitors back.

    In addition to the 60-second TV ad (below) that was launched during Thursday’s NFL season opener between the Dallas Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles, the campaign includes a 3D anamorphic billboard in Times Square that will debut on Monday, September 15 and will feature images that seem to pop out of the 2D panel.

    The campaign will also greet visitors at Harry Reid International Airport (LAS) at the rideshare pickup zone in Terminal 1.

    Starting Friday, Sept. 12, the “Fabulous Pickups” will feature colorful lighting, plush seating, music, and a neon selfie wall.

    During special occasions, the zone will also host live performances, DJs and more.

    Here’s a mock-up. But note the ‘note’ in the lower right-hand corner: “Purple benches will be finished in laminate, not tufted upholstered as shown.”

    Tufted upholstery or not, this will be a welcome upgrade from the garage space that’s currently covered in cigarette butts.

    In addition to some helpful tips on navigating the airport during what promises to be a extra-busy time, the airport has set up some selfie-worthy signage, including a giant championship belt and a WrestleMania photo backdrop at the T1 baggage claim carousel as well as a Welcome to Las Vegas/WWW Universe sign in the T3 baggage claim area.

    Pop-up marriage license bureau at the Las Vegas airport

    Holidays,

    Las Vegas is well known for being the “Wedding Capital of the World,”, especially around Valentine’s Day, when there’s a notable rise in the number of couples flying in for wedding ceremonies and vow renewals.

    Before the ceremonies can take place, though, couples need a marriage license. And that usually means a trip to downtown Las Vegas to the Clark County Clerk’s Office, which is open from 8 a.m. to midnight, 365 days a year.

    To make things easier for fly-in lovebirds, each February the Clark County Clerk sets up a pop-up Marriage License Bureau at Las Vegas’s Harry Reid International Airport.

    This year the pop-up marriage license bureau will once again be set up in the Terminal 1 baggage claim and will be open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., every day including weekends, from February 11 through February 25.

    The temporary office will issue marriage licenses as well as vow renewal certificates and will only accept credit card or debit payments. Couples may request a special, limited-edition-themed certificate featuring the Las Vegas skyline and classic Valentine conversation hearts.

    This year, travelers can also view the 2024 Wedding Dress Design of the Year, which is on display immediately adjacent to Howard W. Cannon Aviation Museum on the second floor of Terminal 1 above baggage claim. The dress is the winning design from the Wedding Capital of the World’s inaugural contest featuring designs from talented seamstresses across the Las Vegas Valley.  

    Airport amenity of the Week: Elvis!

    Fun Stuff, ,

    Evidently, Elvis is still in the building…

    Back in 2011, Elvis and a handfulf of showgirls were on hand at what was then officially Las Vegas International Airport (LAS) to welcome attendees to the tech event known as CES.

    McCarron Airport Elvis and show girls

    This year, CES coincides with what would have been Elvis’s 90th birthday – January 8.

    So (a young) Elvis showed up at what is now Harry Reid International Airport (LAS) to welcome everyone arriving to Las Vegas in true Sin City style.

    Nothing beats Elvis.

    So we’re declaring the Elvis impersonator at the Las Vegas airport the Airport Amenity of the Week.

    And look! Elvis stuck around to pose for photos with travelers.

    Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) customer service staff will be handing out airport-themed Valentines and branded chocolate kisses at the airport information booths and in the Central Terminal. Look for a photo booth and keep an ear out for the roving violinist.
