Earlier reports: Mar 24, 2026 01:34 PM ET|Mar 24, 2026 12:37 PM ET|Mar 24, 2026 11:40 AM ET|Mar 24, 2026 11:17 AM ET|Mar 24, 2026 10:40 AM ET|Mar 24, 2026 09:57 AM ET|Mar 24, 2026 09:24 AM ET

Current wait times at Harry Reid International Airport (LAS) remain short. As of Tuesday afternoon (Tue Mar 24, 1:27 PM), general security lines were approximately 15 minutes with steady flow (Tue Mar 24, 1:27 PM). Earlier that morning (Tue Mar 24, 10:04 AM), travelers reported under 10 minutes at general screening.

PreCheck continues to move significantly faster. Reports from Monday morning (Mon Mar 23, 12:06 PM) show PreCheck at 1–2 people in line with total wait under 8 minutes. One traveler reported a 20-second wait at PreCheck on Monday morning (Mon Mar 23, 2:37 PM). Touchless ID PreCheck was noted as taking just 2 minutes (Mon Mar 23, 4:55 PM).

Morning hours appear to offer the shortest waits. Reports from Monday morning (Mon Mar 23, 2:01 PM) indicate under 10 minutes with many passengers walking up immediately for screening. Average wait times mid-day Monday were estimated at 15–20 minutes for general lines (Mon Mar 23, 3:21 PM).

Recommendation: Arrive 30–45 minutes before your flight for general security, or 20–30 minutes if you have PreCheck. Morning departures (before 11 AM) will likely have the shortest lines. If possible, use PreCheck for substantially faster screening.
