How to Find the Las Vegas Airport Rideshare Pickup Location

Taxis & shuttle buses dominated airport transportation in Las Vegas for decades, but Uber and Lyft are quickly eating into their marketshare.

The rideshare pickup areas at Harry Reid aren’t clearly marked, and I’ve struggled to find them myself at times – Here’s how to get there.

TIP: Don’t request your ride until you arrive at the designated pickup location, as they’re commonly staged and arrive quickly.

Ride Share Pickup Location From Terminal 1

  • If you didn’t check a bag, stay on level 2 and make your way towards the parking garages which are labeled.
  • You’ll know you’re on the right path if you pass over the baggage claim carousels below and see the “Hacienda” airplane hanging from the ceiling to the left.

  • Keep walking toward the parking ramp past the retail shops and restaurants that line the hallway after you pass over baggage claim.
  • Once you get to the parking ramp, take the pedestrian bridge to the Terminal 1 parking garage.
  • Once there, follow the signs to the designated Uber/Lyft pickup location.

If checking a bag, follow the signs to baggage claim to snag your bag. Once you do, take an elevator back up to level 2 and head towards the parking ramp following the steps above.

Ride Share Pickup Location From Terminal 3

  • Once you de-board, follow the signs toward baggage claim. Note that if you land at the D gates, you’ll first need to take the red tram to Terminal 3, then follow the signs to baggage claim.
  • Keep walking past baggage claim towards the doors to leave the terminal, but do not leave.
  • When you reach the doors, take a nearby escalator or elevator up one level to “Level 1”. Those escalator/elevator options can be found by doors 52, 54, or 56. This step is poorly labeled at the airport. I’ve found myself getting tripped up here a few times.

This is the escalator you’re looking for. Look for the small orange “Rideshare” sign (on the pillar).
  • After taking an escalator or elevator up to level one, cross the pedestrian bridge to the Terminal 3 parking garage.
  • Once in the parking garage, take the stairs or elevator down to the Valet Level.

Ride Share Drop Off at The Airport

Ride share drivers can drop you off at either terminal’s departure lane, which is the same drop-off point that traditional cabs and the general public use.

Thank you for posting. Last time in Vegas, it took us forever to find Lyft. By the time we found pickup location, lyft driver left. It didn't take long for another one to arrive. Great idea don't call for pickup until you are at pickup location.
