Breaking down what a name change to McCarran International Airport could mean and who will pay for it


“I would not vote to put a senator’s name on an airport because if you think of big international airports like JFK, it’s a big name and a legacy that he leaves behind,” said Sibu Cane, tourist.

The airport’s LAS letter code that the FAA uses to identify the property would remain the same, but if approved, Las Vegas’ airport would go from McCarran International Airport to Harry Reid International Airport.

The re-branding would force a fundraiser to cover the cost of about $2 million. (Note: OLD estimate of cost)

Currently, the airport is named after former U.S. Senator Pat McCarran, who represented Nevada in the 1930s, but a history of antisemitism, xenophobia, and racism has forced one county leader to step up and say that a change needs to be made.

Gov. Sisolak supports renaming McCarran International Airport after former Sen. Harry Reid
“It’s been talked about before,” said Clark County Commissioner Tick Segerblom. “Mccarran has been pretty controversial; the delegation asked to remove his statue at the capitol a few years ago. He does not represent Nevada anymore.”

Segerblom recommends renaming the airport to honor Senator Reid.

“He is the best-known person to represent Nevada in history and has done more for Nevada than anyone else in history and represents progress in D.C. that sends a signal,” Segerblom said.
