Bus 108 reaches the airport in about 20–30 minutes
RTC Route 108 Paradise is the city bus that runs between Harry Reid International Airport (Terminals 1 and 3) and points north along Paradise Road and to Downtown. The line operates every day and typically runs about every 20–30 minutes during the day, with less frequent service later at night. It’s a standard city bus setup, so expect basic seating, front-door boarding, and payment at the farebox near the driver.
A single ride on Route 108 costs the same as any other RTC residential route, and you pay as you board. RTC buses accept cash (exact change only) and various passes loaded on an RTC smart card or mobile app. There’s no premium luggage rack service here, just regular bus space, so plan to keep one suitcase and maybe a backpack within your seat area. If you have two large checked bags, a rideshare from the airport curb might be less hassle.
At Terminal 1, you pick up Route 108 at the Ground Level outside Door 44 in the Shuttle/Bus plaza, the same general area where other RTC routes stop. At Terminal 3, follow signs to the Departing Buses area on Level 2; Route 108 is clearly marked on RTC stop signs when it’s serving that stop. Both terminal stops sit a short walk from baggage claim, usually 5–10 minutes depending on crowds and escalators.
Route 108 runs north on Paradise Road, passing major cross streets like Tropicana Avenue, Flamingo Road, and Sahara Avenue before continuing toward Downtown Las Vegas. If you’re heading to a hotel near Paradise and Flamingo, you can usually get off within 20 minutes of leaving Terminal 1. For Downtown hotels or the Bonneville Transit Center, plan closer to 35–45 minutes total from the airport, depending on traffic and time of day.
Late-night service on 108 is thinner, especially after 10:00 p.m., and very early-morning trips before 6:00 a.m. can be spaced farther apart. If your arrival time is tight, check the latest RTC schedule for Route 108 so you’re not standing 25 minutes at the curb in the desert heat. One simple move: buy a 24-hour transit pass if you expect to ride again within a day; it often beats paying two or three separate single fares.
