TSA Watch: LAS

Last updated: Mar 24, 2026 09:59 AM ET — 19 reports across 3 days

Earlier reports: Mar 24, 2026 09:57 AM ET|Mar 24, 2026 09:24 AM ET

TSA wait times at Harry Reid Las Vegas International Airport (LAS) have been exceptionally short. Most recent reports show under 10 minutes for standard lines and 1–8 minutes for PreCheck (Mon Mar 23, 8:24 AM–3:21 PM). Morning travelers experienced the shortest waits, with some reporting zero-to-20 second waits (Mon Mar 23, 12:55 PM and 2:37 PM). One report noted 10 minutes through general security (Tue Mar 24, 9:08 AM).

PreCheck continues to move exceptionally fast, with wait times consistently under 2 minutes (Mon Mar 23, 4:55 PM and 8:24 AM). TouchlessID is available for PreCheck users. General security lines remain manageable, with multiple reports of walk-up availability and no backups during peak morning hours (Mon Mar 23, 2:01 PM).

Practical recommendation: Arrive 90 minutes before domestic departure for standard security, or 60 minutes if you have PreCheck. Current conditions at LAS are moving smoothly, giving you buffer time even during morning peak hours.

@AlBernstein Flew across the country to Florida with my family last week. No wait at TSA lines at either LAS or Pensacola airport. TSA workers were great. Smooth sailing.
