Security at LAS

I've never flown into Las Vegas before. Does anyone have any idea how long
can it take to clear secuirty on a Sunday morning? Is there an elite line?
I don't yet have my elite card from United (they just matched my status),
but I've got a letter from them confirming my status and, I assume, it would
appear on my boarding pass. Is there an elite line I can use?

Thanks!

Nope. No elite line at KLAS. Your security checkpoint for UAL
is actually on the 2nd level, above Baggage Claim. You'll be going to
the D gates (the clisest line towards the parking garage; The C gates
use the line above baggage claim closest towards Ticket Check-in). From
there, you're on a train to the D gates. Sine NWA, UAL, TRS (Airtran
via Ryan), SCX, AAL, and DAL all use the D gates, you won't find an
elite line; You will at check-in, however.

Sunday Morning, you'll be catching NWA's nonstop Tokyo/Seoul
arrival/departure, so you may want to get there a bit early. Missing
the flight on account of making it through the security checkpoint, but
missing the train is a bit of a bummer.

NWA doesn't have nonstops from LAS to Tokyo or Seoul. But it's true
that Sunday-morning lines at LAS can be epic. I've seen 1 hour,
and heard of 2 hours.

At LAS, this means that you'll need to take a train after the security
checkpoint and then hike for a bit to get to your gate.

Get there early and do some gambling while you wait. They have slots all
over the place

He means the security line will be longer because of the widebody flight
that is departing on Sunday morning, not your flight.

The only widebody flight out of LAS on Sunday mornings is JAL (unless
you count Delta's 767s as widebodies), which departs from a different
terminal than United, so presumably it's of no consequence to Tauger.
He will have to take the train, though, to get to his gate.

Agreed. Although if you travel FC there is an express lane to the C and D
gates - still has ten or fifteen minutes' delay on it though. They really
have not figured out their security at all at LAS.

Kind Regards, Howard

Thanks everybody. Looks like it take a while to get out of there.
