More than 300 thousand visitors are expected in Las Vegas during the three-day Labor Day weekend, which is the last weekend before the start of the school year. However, workers at the Harry Reid International Airport are warning of potential collapses in flights and parking lots due to the influx of travelers. In light of this, they are advising passengers to arrive at least two hours before their scheduled flight time. It is worth noting that historically, 15 percent of flights during Labor Day experience delays at the Las Vegas airport.
To ensure a smooth travel experience, airport officials are urging travelers to monitor the status of their flight with their respective airlines and be prepared for any unforeseen circumstances.

By taking necessary precautions, travelers can minimize the impact of potential disruptions and ensure a smoother travel experience during the Labor Day weekend in Las Vegas.
