Tickets start around $20 for CX Centennial Express from LAS
CX Centennial Express runs a regional bus link from Harry Reid International Airport (LAS) to nearby Nevada communities, with fares often around $20–$30 one-way depending on distance. It’s a land-side service, so you need to exit Terminal 1 or Terminal 3 baggage claim before you can board.
At Terminal 1, follow signs to ground transportation and the regional bus area on Level 0 near doors 7–11; CX Centennial Express typically uses the same bays as other intercity coaches. From Terminal 3, head down to Level 0 ground transportation and walk to the shared commercial bus pick-up zone, which is about a 5–10 minute walk from the farthest baggage carousel.
Most CX Centennial Express routes run several times per day, with morning and late-afternoon departures common on weekdays and slightly reduced schedules on Saturdays and Sundays. Plan around a 15–20 minute buffer between scheduled baggage belt start and bus departure so you’re not sprinting from carousel 10 in T3 to the curb.
Tickets are usually available both online and at the curb; buying ahead locks in your seat on busy Fridays and Sundays when flights into LAS spike after 15:00. Cash fares may be higher than online advance prices, and some drivers strongly prefer credit or debit cards to speed boarding by a few minutes per stop.
Regional travel times vary by route: shorter hops to nearby communities can take about 45–60 minutes, while longer segments stretch well past the 2-hour mark with intermediate stops. If you land at 23:00 or later, double-check that your CX Centennial Express run still operates after your scheduled arrival, since some lines have their final departure before midnight.
For timing, build in at least 35–45 minutes from touchdown to bus bay if you have checked bags, and closer to 25–30 minutes with carry-on only. One simple move: book a bus that leaves one full departure slot after the first one you “could” make, then head straight from your gate to Level 0 ground transportation once you clear baggage claim.
