How to read LAS wait coverage
Live minutes
When the source publishes minute values, treat them as the current snapshot, not a guarantee for your future arrival.
Missing or stale data
If live waits are missing, suspended, or outside the freshness window, use posted hours, airport advisories, and peak-window context instead.
Checkpoint counts
Counts reflect what the official source returns for tracked checkpoints; they may not equal every physical lane or every checkpoint serving your gate.

Planning bullets
How locals actually plan LAS
LAS is really two security systems: Terminal 1 and Terminal 3.
Use the terminal that matches your airline instead of assuming one checkpoint reaches the whole airport.
If your ride or parking plan lands you at the wrong terminal, fix that before you worry about the line.
Checkpoint choice matters inside the terminal, but terminal choice matters even more.
Checkpoint access
Which checkpoint reaches your gate?
LAS runs separate checkpoint banks in Terminal 1 and Terminal 3. Use the terminal for your airline rather than assuming one checkpoint reaches the whole airport.
