	ESRI Map Book Gallery Volume 17: Transportation - McCarran International Airport
		The seventh busiest airport in the country and the eleventh busiest worldwide, McCarran uses GIS to track relevant data as it pertains to the terminal layout including leased space, amenities, gate organization, and other facility data.
		The airport layout in GIS is a valuable tool to assist airport staff with current and proposed projects, data and graphic needs, and other requests that affect day-to-day operations of the airport.
		The ability to map this data with GIS over time enables airport managers to analyze the effects of air traffic and resulting noise impacts, and it can be used to assist with developing air traffic patterns and policies that are compatible with noise-sensitive land development.

		No matter how close you may be to the airport, or what kind of transportation you take to get to the airport, plan to add at least 1/2 an hour just to get IN to the airport.
		The airport just seems a bit too small and the roads too poorly laid out to handle the sheer masses of people it needs to.
		The airport is generally clean and the staff friendly, but it is a VERY long walk from some of the gates to baggage.
