American Airlines at LAS — What to Know
American Airlines is one of the highest-volume carriers at Las Vegas Airport, connecting LAS to its five major domestic hubs: Dallas Fort Worth (DFW), Phoenix (PHX), Charlotte (CLT), Miami (MIA), and Chicago O’Hare (ORD). From those hubs, passengers can connect to hundreds of domestic and international destinations.
American operates from two concourses at Terminal 1: primarily Concourse B for the highest-volume flights and Concourse C for additional overflow gates. Your specific gate will be confirmed at check-in and posted on departure boards — verify your concourse before heading through TSA, as the A/B/C concourses have separate security lines at Terminal 1.
Check-In and Security at Terminal 1
American Airlines check-in counters are on Level 2 of Terminal 1. The terminal has three separate TSA security checkpoints. For Concourse B or C departures, use the main B/C security checkpoint rather than the A gates checkpoint — this gets you directly to American’s concourses without backtracking.
Baggage Claim and Ground Transportation
American Airlines arrivals collect bags at Terminal 1, Level 1. Taxi stand is outside Doors 1–4. The Las Vegas Strip is 3–5 miles away — 10–20 minutes by car under normal conditions. On major convention days, Raiders games, or weekend evenings, traffic adds 10–30 minutes.
Personal Sedan Services meets arriving passengers inside at baggage claim with a name placard, handles luggage, and drives to any Las Vegas destination at a pre-confirmed fixed rate. For full ground transportation comparison, see our complete LAS terminal guide.
