Can anyone tell me how long to expect it take from landing to gettting out of the airport... I have heard of quite long delays getting through the immigration formalities at some airports!

I decided that if I got in the money at our (WPC) live tournament yesterday, that I would treat myslef to a limo ride from the airport, up and down the strip, to the hotel... well I came 2nd(again!!!!).

So I was wondering what time I should book it for... the flight is due in at 13.30.

Cheers,

If you're flying direct to Vegas the wait time is pretty small as the international terminal is tiny (90% of the flights into Vegas are domestic).  Generally speaking you should only be queuing with people off your own flight, rather than multiple flights as at other US airports.

In comparison to other US airports, Vegas is pretty quick.

plenty of limos about as dave said.

First time i went it took about 2.5hrs, 2nd time 1.5hrs.

Get of the plane quick is my tip. Also pray no other flight has come in at the same time!
