LAS VEGAS McCARRAN AIRPORT (LAS)

 For such a busy airport McCarran still manages to be tourist friendly.  Unlike places like SFO or LAX... McCarran isnt confusing and pretty straightforward as far as airports go.  There are lots of places to shop and eat not to mention all the slot machines including the iconic Wheel of Fortune LOL.  Depending on where your gate is located you may have to walk quite a bit, but given my fondness for eating I really don't mind :)

When you're excited to be making your first or rare visit to Vegas, what is cooler than stepping off the plane and seeing/hearing slot machines going crazy? You are looking dead-on at the strip from the windows of the airport, and immediately upon slots as you walk out of the air tram.

I don't really know of a cooler way to start off a trip.
