New Airport for Las Vegas

- For a while now there have been plans for a new airport for Las Vegas, as Harry Reid international airport is reaching its maximum capacity, expected in about 2030 with about 63 million passengers. Currently dubbed SNSA, but a name for it has still to be decided.

The trip from rhe airport to las Vegas will cost as much as the airfare
TRUE! They need to utilize those railtrack for cheap transit to the strip and downtown las vegas otherwise it won't work.
Don't take a taxi!
exactly, worthless government not thinking again
Yeah, that could very well be indeed lol
There is NO WAY you can fit a major airport in that space. It's even an extremely tight space for a small municipal airport.
I am guessing they will also use the land on the other sides to support all this
This new airport would make alot of sense to use it as cargo while the main one in Vegas is strictly for passengers. Rail is already there and right next to the highway for trucks. Warehouses could be built around it. This would create lots of new jobs in the area.
Cargo is probably part of this plan too, plenty of space for a train yard there :)
If this happens, it will be a huge boost to the State Line properties. It will also be good business for airport shuttles, as that location is significantly further from the city than Harry Reid Intl. Speaking of which, I hope they name it something different.
Some people might forget about Las Vegas altogether and just stay in Stateline, which would soon get more casinos.
the name should 'never' have been changed...
Yeah it will definitely revive that area
Who cares about stateline properties unless you own all that land? McCarren is convenient and that's what matters. We don't want to fly for an hour or two and then take an hour to get into town!
Number 1 it will always be McCarren Airport!
Number 2 No. People want the convenience of being right there after getting off the plane. DC vs Dulles, understand?
Number 3 sounds like a money pit for "public-private partnerships"
When LAS reached capacity, this new airport with the Brightline train might take passengers to the Strip quicker than waiting for an Uber at LAS lol.. but we'll see
@@TheMagnitudeofLasVegas I agree they should have kept the name McCarren.
No! McCarren is extremely convenient and very well run. Don't make the mistake the idiots in Denver made!!!!!
Without some type of transportation set like a monorail this would be a nightmare to get into Las Vegas. Minimum of a 20 minute drive I can’t imagine the prices that will be charged by uber and taxis.
Taxis will long-haul people through Arizona and California to jack up the fares.

Colorado is a mess
Stapleton was the old airport in Denver. It did not have the capacity to handle any more traffic. It was landlocked and a disaster waiting to happen. If you go to most major world cities, they don’t have central airports. Denver is fine, number three in the world. The train connects to downtown. Denver has more than enough room to expand, Harry Reid is a great location for 1970 when it was on the edge of town.
Very interesting. I would imagine the plan would include a high speed elevated rail line between the new airport and Vegas. Some kind of central reception center in Vegas would be necessary to disperse the visiting passengers and for their return flights. Maybe Elon will create a tunnel system to handle the traffic? It is fortunate that good land is available for this project.
You can bet the taxi companies will fight any attempt to build anything that competes with them.
I’m sticking with the old airport. You can’t beat the access you get to the strip. So convenient.
I hope elon isn’t involved, that would ensure disaster
@@sexygeek8996Which is dumb because they can’t fathom the thought that one they will become obsolete.
Brightline West is probably the most likely connector for this.
This has been in the works for years. It would be known as the Ivanpah airport
Cargo flights only. No impact on scheduled airlines. Been hearing about this since 1995.
Wrong, it will be called Michael Obama airport
@@errorsofmodernism7331its ok to admit that Michelle Obama lives rent free in your mind 24/7 😊😊
I believe that is what it was used to be called after they changed it to the SNSA
There was a plan to build an airport to accommodate the freight and cargo flights to land away from McCarran and have only the passenger flights at the current airport. This was
in 2004, I think, the location was at the Mormon Mesa area part way between LV and Mesquite. Then the real estate collapse happened.
Personally…because my opinion matters so very much….this sounds like a better plan on the surface.
Hmm, interesting, I think Primm and Jean can do with a boost though lol
A state legislator told me that a new county will form as result.
I am planning a master planned city east of Sloan and Magic Mountains
Cool! Looks like this is indeed really going to happen 😁
Make sure you have water rights. NV has a water master. If he says no nothing will move.
@@thenevadadesertrat2713 yup
Definitely needed 100% as much I fly home and the foot traffic just going and waiting on Uber is a nightmare. Plus it right off of the strip.
Building this new Port right of the 15 E way in that area would be perfect less stress from surrounding businesses and casinos traffic with events going on . Super area next to nothing.but there one issue the traffic that backs up south sometimes going thru Jean and Primm for people returning to Cali. They could probably upgrade las vegas road that runs parallel to the 15 adding in more lights would be nice.i'm for it.
Yep, indeed! :)
Narita to Tokyo is 50 miles and the Narta Express and Keisei Skyliner trains take around 50 minutes to get to Tokyo Station. The new Brightline route from California is going to run at 186 mph so if they ran a train transporting passengers the 23 miles to the airport it would take under 10 minutes if they did Shinkansen levels of performance.
This airport should have an indoor go kart track
I love it. Add a Brightline West HSR connection? And Bob's Your Uncle...
That's gotta be part or this right, the thing should be passing there anyway 😎
Yup
If they keep the current airport open and operational, two strips will work; otherwise, they’ll need to mirror LAX and have four.
Will they have a Brightline stop there?
Maglev from the airport to city center would be an additional tourist attraction, the only one in the U.S./ I used the one from Shanghai airport to the city. It got up to 300 on a short track but is able to travel much faster.
Great video footage 💯💯💯
Thanks!! Much appreciated!! 😁
Bad idea to build runways parallel to the freeway. 23 miles from Vegas...with the traffic add an hour to the trip.
Yeah, they gotta fix that
Brightline?
Harry Reid Airport is awesome, but it's definitely land locked. The airport in Jean will be a welcome relief. And there is plenty of space for it there. You're talking 10 miles one direction and a mile or two wide. Let's get this done!
Way to far away from Vegas and even after Vegas gets even bigger it will still be to far away.
The Reid airport should be expanded and renamed to the Las Vegas International Airport, the name everyone in Vegas and the name the rest of the world wanted.
Our current airport getting named Reid airport was beyond insanely stupid !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And where would you expand that airport ? There is zero space around it. That’s the issue. They can’t do anything with the space.
Not happening where is the space coming from Einstein ? Only option is open space away from Vegas just like Dallas did with DFW. They outgrew Love Field and moved out to open land in Ft Worth for DFW.
@@scotttild intimate domain, it’s done all the time.
@@LVRaptorR717 Einstein, say, intimate domain, our airport with the stupid name has done it before.
@@BassedInVegas Naver going to happen Harry Reid is at max capacity I know I work on the airport as an FAA inspector.
The Jean airport has been in use for quite sometime with two smaller parallel runways (2L/20R and 2R/20L). Expanding on it seems ideal but Jean Airport has a fairly busy general aviation presence there for being such a small airport. However, there is also a detention facility (The former SNCC run by the NV DOC and where I used to work at) that I believe is being leased to the feds and which is adjacent to the Jean airfield. There is also a smaller NV DOC prisoner's camp in Jean. Jean and Primm also have a few casinos there and I think any new airport would have to be set back quite a distance from I-15. There's really no ideal location for a new airport to the north and nothing but mountains to the west and growth to the east of Las Vegas. Building a new airport to the south is really the only logical option. Just my two cents.
They have talked about this for years. I lived there between 2004 and 2010 and it came up every couple of years then went away. There was also a plan to keep McCarren for passengers only and build a cargo airport south of town. That never happened either. As far as the Primm area goes that area will typically flood in the winter months when the rains come. Also, the strongest union in Vegas, the taxicab union, would NEVER allow a monorail type service between the Primm site and the Strip (about 30 miles). If they did there would already be one between the current airport and the Strip and there isn't. There has been talk about that property for years. At one point there was going to be a Six Flags-type Park built out there. That fizzled. I understand there has been recent talk about moving the Sony and Disney Studios to that site.
I work for the cabs here. That is a myth. The Monorail failed to extend due to high costs and didn’t get support from the casinos nor government.
Let's hope this time it is for real, because this is gonna take a while to get off the ground :)
Last I heard about this project is that it would be an airport centered around cargo operations. Moving the cargo operators like FedEx, UPS, and others would free up space for future, bigger passenger terminals at LAS.
That is probably only a temporary fix? Looks like this new airport is intended for passenger operations.
I don’t think so only because the intended area is a lot smaller than LAS already is. It’s enough space for a big runway, large apron, and cargo facility buildings.
hope they have passenger operations
Why so far from the tourist area, there's plenty of land alot closer
Noise and space.
With the rate Las Vegas is growing, by the time this airport is built, it may already be a suburb of Las Vegas :)
Will Southwest, Spirit, or Allegiant or Frontier move over? I don't know...there needs to be agreement from the airlines.
I am sure if the landing rights are cheaper there, some of the budget airlines will move there? 🤔
Let's hope Brightline West wil build a station at the new airport since it's right along I-15 like Harry Reid is. Then you can have people who are transferring between the two airports take the train instead of having to drive.
Yep, I would imagine that is part of the plans indeed
Since Brightline Rail is building a high speed train line from Vegas to southern California maybe they can include a commuter station at the airport with more frequent service to Vegas.
Never bring up subject of water, when discussing southern Nevada.
The pipes are way below ground to prevent a complete dry source
I am sure they can fix that one way or another :)
Water? What's the controversy? There's no water. Discussion closed.
The key words are: 'New Supplemental Airport' vs. 'New Airport' for Las Vegas.
It's an airport, and its new to Las Vegas, so it is a New Airport for Las Vegas
Crazy, build the new airport 23 miles out of town?
Is this going to be anywhere near the new high speed rail line?
Yes and likely a new station
Yep, we assume
Think of the $ million dollar estates with 27/7 jet liners screaming over head ... 🇺🇸
We have lots of those now already yeah 😅
Las Vegas does need a new airport imagine newer designs
Yep :)
If they don't work with Brightline West and have the train stop AT THE AIRPORT, they're idiots. But Brightline's schedule may not be frequent enough, so building a light rail link between the new airport and the Strip with departures every 5-15 minutes will also be needed.
I am sure they will add a stop there :)
And what of Jean Airport (0L7)? Closed & demolished?
Why not widen/strengthen/extend the current runway at Henderson Executive and add a second?
Finally, what about the SoCal - Las Vegas High Speed Rail (BrightLine)? Conceivably, it could make a stop in Jean or at the new airport.
Not sure what happens with that smaller airport... maybe they'll merge it? but then again, where do the lighter aircraft depart from then...
Jean will likely be decommissioned as it would be in the flight path.
Vegas always looking ahead. ❤ it! (I mean, if they really are reaching a realiatic capacity at LV INT
Yeah, they will eventually.. so good to get this going as it may take a while 😁
Are you kidding NV is 20 years ahead of being behind.
I've always heard that airport was going in farther east of the freeway in Ivanpah. To build it where you say would landlock it in a tight space, as noted by others have drainage issues, and jam the 15 even worse than it is now. If they wanted a cargo airport, they'd be way better off going north to get it out of the traffic...
I think they'll just have the I-15 tunnel underneath it? The current plans do show what I showed in the video... but I am sure it can all change still.. :)
That's an insane idea! No one wants to fly for hours only to sit for more hours more in a van or bus from the airport all the way to the strip or Fremont. The traffic is bad enough at the present airport. IH15 can be a disaster!
With the Brightline train I would assume it takes a lot less time though
They had better start work on frequent transportation to and from this location so it’s operational by the time the airport opens. Cabs/Uber cost a fortune from the existing airport to the Strip. I can only imagine the taxi mafia licking their chops at rides from Jean to the Strip.
BTW, Vegas was stupid for not building a monorail station in the existing airport. It would be a huge moneymaker.
For our last trip to LV, we decided to do a helicopter tour of Grand Canyon and Hoover Dam. A mini bus picked us up at our hotel, Mandalay Bay, picked up two at another hotel. Rather than boarding a helicopter at the current LV airport, we drove east to a small private airport, where ten of us boarded two helicopters. Great trip!
Maybe they could expand this smaller airport into commercial size, cheaper than the one described here, and closer to the Strip.
That airport is soon to be in the middle of a big city too... :)
How does this potential new airport relate to the upcoming Brightline high-speed rail corridor?
I am assuming there will be a Brightline stop there, since it will be passing through right there
i still think people will use harry reid airport more because its way closer to las vegas strip
Yeah, I don't think this airport is meant to replace Harry Reid anyway.
@@TheMagnitudeofLasVegas nice also do u know how much passengers is expected at this airport? also fantastic video
Even if a new airport is put right outside of the current city limits it’s too far out. But, that would be way better than Jean. Passengers are not going to want to ride 20-30 minutes after getting off a plane!
That’s too far away from the city. As much empty land on Las Vegas blvd south of the airport they choose to put it 30 to 45 minutes from the strip nope don’t make sense. Also Brightline might be building a station near by.
10 years from now that may very well be South Vegas lol :)
No way! Not enough space between the hiway and railroad tracks. One of them would have to be moved at a great cost
Assuming that will be the train tracks then... on the other hand, the whole airport can be built around the track. I don't think the overall town will be just confined to the inner portion
They been talking about this airport for the last 24 years.
Yep, and it will take probably another 24 years to build it lol
What a fabulous idea. There is never any traffic along there on I-15.
Haha no, it is always deserted lol..
Where are they going to build it? The middle of the strip?
Really?
Haha that would be cool, that would be some attraction lol
Where are they going to get the water?
We have it
They found some somewhere lol
I was told Disneyland owned that property across the freeway from gene to state line..???
Really? I didn't know that..
Just north south runways is a very bad plan. They need east west also...
The mountains on either side might make that impossible I guess
Except the state and Clark County don’t own that land and there is no guarantee they could get it. Not to mention all the lawsuits to follow. I’ll be dead and gone before this ever happens if ever.
The music is louder than what you are saying. You need to redo this video with no music
I don't need to do squat.. use the caption option I would suggest then
There already an airport in Jean, they could make runway bigger to handle the 737 and turn the prison close by for less worse criminal and they could train inmate to become pilot.
I like that idea lol... inmates becoming commercial pilots.. hopefully they promise to bring back the plan after use and not sell it for something else lol
Jean Airport would be decommissioned when this airport gets built.
That last part of your comment is quite disrespectful to my late uncle who used to fly for TWA. Pilots work very hard for their money unlike you which can hide behind a computer screen and say crap like that.
must be new source of water discovered
we'll borrow it from Arizona lol..
Should have/ need to have a non stop under ground railroad just like most major airport all over the world and go direct into Las Vegas strip monorail station... Then close the Harry Reid and repurposed the land.
Boring company will able to complete the tunnel faster than they build the airport.
Yeah, but it's a loooong way tho...
With so much desert land out there with little development and no forest to destroy, there might not be a need for an underground train. They might just get Brightline to build a station at the airport along Brightline's new line.
Put the Airport in First, then Housing and Industry.
I think that is the goal :)
They can also build a commercial terminal at the North Las Vegas Airport for mostly regional flights and some long destinations such as Honolulu and New York
Noise and space
Yeah, the way the North is being developed, this is going to be right in the middle of the city soon.
tried to get some land out there but nope!
Ah maybe already scooped up by the officials lol
WHY?....
Trains
Yeah, and more lanes :)
I don't think anyone will want to land there.
If it saves a few bucks, some people might 😅
Just don't name the airport after a bad politician again.
MOMORAIL!!!
Brightline will add a stop
Would be cool, but I think it will just be the Brightline indeed
You can fly to Reno then drive all day to Vegas. That would be better use of the taxpayer money.
Haha yeah, but that might take a little bit longer lol
Why would they spend that kind of money on an airport so far away from Las Vegas? It makes no sense. Primm is dead.
I think the goal is to revive Primm while they do this. By the time this gets build, Las Vegas may already have grown much more South.
Terrible idea
I like that idea, and when passengers arrive they can catapult from the airport to the Strip instantly, they could land in the pool at the Bellagio for instance ;)
@@TheMagnitudeofLasVegas Exactly 🤣
I think this is a STUPID location. Why people would choose to land at this airport and still have to be transported to Las Vegas is beyond my understanding.
Brightline train
Yeah Brightline I would assume too
Terrible idea! WAY too far from the city. Vegas is unique because there are many weekend visitors who fly in from neighboring states. They wouldn’t have time to waste in long transit, not to mention the added expense. Go back to the drawing board.
My guess is the train ride with the Brightline is probably less than waiting for an Uber at LAS :)
Waste of money . To far away .
The way Vegas is being developed, it might just be the South part of town soon ;)
It will never happen.
We'll see.. we need to expand somewhere...
