  7. What’s Happening at McCarran Terminal 3 – one of the largest terminal expansion projects in the country

  8. Project History • To plan for future growth, in the late 1980s the Department of Aviation examined options to expand McCarran. A Terminal Planning Study prepared in March 1990 indicated a need for two new buildings east of the C Concourse. • The first of those recommendations resulted in the D Concourse, which opened in 1998. It was designed as a satellite facility tied to existing terminal infrastructure, including parking, ticketing, checkpoints, baggage claim, etc. • Planning for the study’s second recommended expansion, a self-contained “unit terminal” that would include a new garage and roadway system, began in the late 1990s.

  10. Major Project Components *PLA project.

  11. Terminal 3 Fast Facts • 1.9 million-square-foot, three-story building • 14 gates • Ticketing lobby • Baggage claim • TSA security checkpoints on two levels • 6,000-space, eight-level parking structure • Expanded and upgraded CBP area • Underground Automated Transit System

  12. Benefits of Terminal 3 • Increases operational flexibility by splitting traffic between two facilities • Provides upgraded and enhanced CBP facilities to process more international travelers • Creates additional shopping and dining options

  13. Additional International Gates • International traffic was up 27 percent during the last six months of 2011, compared to the prior year. • On December 20, 2011, the Clark County Commission approved a change order to the contract to make Gate E-7 an international gate by extending the sterile corridor wall. • Terminal 3 reached its full gate at capacity for international traffic during some peak travel periods almost immediately after its June 27 opening.

  14. Grand Central Station McCarran averaged nearly 9,000 taxis loaded each day in 2011, at just shy of 3.3 million total. Its busiest single-day total was 14,495 taxis loaded during the International CES convention on Jan. 5, 2011.

  15. Split-level roadways

  16. Divided operations Terminal 3’s opening resulted in its assumption of close to 30 percent of existing passenger traffic away from Terminals 1 and 2. This resulted in significant changes in ground transportation needs and operations at McCarran.
