Harry Reid International Airport sits right against the south end of the Strip, which is the good news. The runways run a mile from Mandalay Bay, and the taxi from the terminal to the center of the Strip takes 15 minutes outside rush hour. The bad news is that there is no hotel inside the airport, and the hotels that call themselves "airport" are spread over a few miles to the east and south.
This guide lists the hotels within ten minutes of the terminals that guests on Hotels.com rate 8.8 or higher, checked on 10 November 2026. None of the airport hotels charges a resort fee. The airport runs no hotel shuttle of its own, but most of the hotels below run theirs.

What Picolo chooses
What Picolo chooses: Residence Inn Las Vegas Airport for a night before a flight, and the Four Seasons for the same night with a pool and a view. Home2 Suites Strip South if you have a car.
Why: the Residence Inn is rated 9.4, charges no resort fee and includes breakfast, which is what you want at six in the morning. The Four Seasons is ten minutes from the terminals and the highest-rated hotel in Las Vegas. Home2 Suites has free parking and a kitchen.
The trade-off: the airport hotels are plain, with no casino, no show and no view, and most charge for parking. The Four Seasons costs several times as much. None of them is on the Strip, so a last evening out means a taxi.
Getting between the airport and the hotels
Taxis leave from the curb outside baggage claim at Terminal 1 and Terminal 3, and rideshare pickups are on level 2 of the parking garages. The ride to the hotels on Eastern Avenue and south Las Vegas Boulevard takes five to ten minutes, and to Mandalay Bay about ten. Several of the airport hotels run a free shuttle on request. If you rent a car, the rental center is three miles from the terminals, reached by a shuttle that runs around the clock.
