Harry Reid International Airport has nearly run out of space.
The 76-year-old facility is landlocked and can’t expand beyond its current configuration of four runways and two large terminals that house 110 passenger gates.
The last major expansion at Reid was completed in 2012 when the Clark County Department of Aviation opened a $2.4 billion Terminal 3 that took four years to build.
Reid is the seventh-busiest airport in North America and is coming off successive years of record-setting passenger totals. Airport officials said the facility’s usage isn’t subsiding, given the Strip’s expanding special event calendar and renewed international interest in coming to Las Vegas.
