Traveling to Las Vegas

Thirty-one airlines fly to and from McCarran International Airport each day. The Academy's annual meeting is just three miles away from the airport in the Sands Expo/Venetian, right on the famous Las Vegas Strip.

Starting Oct. 1, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) will require all adult passengers on U.S. domestic flights to present a more secure form of identification to board planes. This identification can be a REAL ID-compliant driver's license, a state-issued enhanced driver's license or another acceptable form of ID (such as a passport). Regular, non-REAL ID or non-enhanced driver's licenses are no longer adequate forms of identification.

Learn more about REAL ID and other acceptable forms of identification.
