LAS

Harry Reid International Airport

Harry Reid International Airport (LAS) is one of the busiest leisure-travel gateways in the United States, funneling millions of passengers annually into Las Vegas from across North America and beyond. This metal print captures that relentless traffic precisely — built from real ADS-B flight tracking data. Every flight path is colorized by altitude, rendered across your chosen color palette.

This print visualizes all 4,611 flights recorded from December 23–27, 2025 — the 77th anniversary of McCarran Field's opening as Las Vegas's first commercial airport. Printed direct-to-metal on an aluminum panel, it is a piece of aviation wall art that ties the city's first flight to its most traveled days of the year.

This dataset covers five days of ADS-B traffic at Harry Reid International Airport (KLAS) from December 23 through December 27, 2025, captured on the 77th anniversary of McCarran Field's opening as Las Vegas's first commercial airport. Across that window, 4,611 total flights were recorded: 2,181 arrivals, 2,209 departures, and 221 touch-and-gos. Those movements involved 1,537 unique aircraft. Operations ran continuously across all 24 hours, with the quietest period falling between 03:00 and 04:00 PST (14 total movements) and the peak occurring at 14:00 PST with 367 flights, 242 of which were departures. The average across all hours was 38.4 flights. Early morning hours from 00:00 to 02:00 show a heavy arrival skew, while the late-night hours from 01:00 to 02:00 flip toward departures. Nellis Air Force Base (KLSV) topped the route list at 309 total movements, well ahead of the next busiest pairing with Los Angeles International (KLAX) at 221. SFO and SNA tied at 123 movements each. The approach direction data shows ENE as the most frequent arrival heading (525 occurrences), followed by E (387) and SW (276). Departure directions follow a similar spread, with E (453) and ENE (444) nearly even at the top. Altitude data was drawn from 3,703,230 ADS-B position points. The 2,000 to 3,000 foot band produced the single largest concentration of points at 516,529, consistent with traffic in the terminal area. A second cluster appears in the 35,000 to 38,000 foot range, peaking at 35,000 to 36,000 feet with 152,812 points. The highest recorded altitude was 48,700 feet, logged on a departure to Pensacola International (KPNS) by tail number N818CF. Average groundspeed across all flights was 292 knots, with a maximum of 641.4 knots. Combined track distance totaled 3,273,417.9 nautical miles over the five-day period.

About the Airport

Harry Reid International Airport opened in 1948 as McCarran Field, named after Nevada Senator Pat McCarran. It was the first facility to bring scheduled commercial air service to Las Vegas. The airport grew steadily alongside the city it serves, absorbing each wave of tourism expansion through the postwar decades and into the jet age.

Situated roughly 5 miles south of the Las Vegas Strip, the airport sits at 2,181 feet above mean sea level in the Mojave Desert. That elevation and the surrounding terrain shape its approach and departure corridors in ways that are clearly visible in ADS-B visualizations. LAS operates 4 runways configured in 2 parallel pairs, handling a traffic mix dominated by narrowbody jets on domestic leisure routes. Southwest Airlines is the airport's largest carrier by volume, with Spirit, Delta, United, and American also maintaining significant operations. International service connects the airport to Canada, Mexico, the United Kingdom, and several other destinations.

LAS ranks consistently among the top 10 busiest airports in the United States by passenger volume, driven almost entirely by tourism rather than connecting hub traffic. That distinction sets it apart. Where a hub like Dallas/Fort Worth or Chicago O'Hare derives much of its volume from connecting passengers, the vast majority of travelers at LAS are origin-and-destination passengers flying directly to Las Vegas. Peak periods — holidays, major conventions, and events on the Strip — produce some of the most concentrated flight traffic of any airport in the country. The airport was renamed from McCarran International to Harry Reid International in 2021, honoring the late Nevada senator who represented the state for decades.
