Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (DTW) to Harry Reid International (LAS) is the airport pair behind this page. Southwest, American, United and Delta have appeared in EazAir's fare checks for this route. Delta leaves from DTW's McNamara Terminal and the other three from the Evans Terminal. In Las Vegas, Southwest, American and Delta land at Terminal 1, and United at Terminal 3.

In Delta's McNamara Terminal, the ExpressTram runs along the mile-long Concourse A and stops at three stations: South for gates A1 to A28, Terminal for A29 to A55 and North for A56 to A78. DTW says the TSA PreCheck office is in the McNamara domestic baggage claim area. Evans has its own checkpoint in its ticketing lobby. Michigan Flyer runs to the airport from Ann Arbor and East Lansing, and AirRide from Ann Arbor.

Harry Reid splits its airlines between two terminals, joined by a free shuttle from Level 0 that LAS says takes about 10 minutes. For transit into town, RTC Route 108 (Paradise) runs from Terminal 1, Level Zero, to the Bonneville Transit Center, and the Red Line, formerly Route 109 Maryland Parkway, uses the same stop. Anyone collecting you by car should allow extra time, since LAS expects lane closures for tunnel repaving to continue until the end of December 2026.

From 5 Oct to 14 Oct 2026, EazAir made its first 3 fare checks for DTW to LAS, each for the lowest one-way economy fare for one adult, departing 30 days after the check. The highest result was at least one and a half times the lowest. Among this route's airlines, only United Basic Economy limits you to a personal item on domestic flights.

Travel tips

Arrive early for domestic flights

TSA generally recommends arriving at least 2 hours before a domestic departure, more at larger hub airports during peak travel periods.

Pack a mixed carry-on

Keep a change of clothes, chargers, and any essentials in your carry-on rather than only your checked bag, in case of a delay or a bag that doesn't arrive with you.

Ease jet lag on longer routes

On longer cross-country flights, adjusting your sleep schedule a day or two before departure and staying hydrated in flight can reduce jet lag on arrival.

Screenshot your confirmation

Save a screenshot or PDF of your booking confirmation and boarding pass before you travel, in case you lose signal or battery at the airport.

Check in online when it opens

Most airlines open online check-in 24 hours before departure. Checking in early can help with seat selection and, on some airlines, boarding group assignment.
