  via Review Journal

  Passengers getting picked up from McCarran airport should make their way to the pick up area in terminal 1, which is across the pedestrian bridge from baggage claim on level 1 of the parking garage. Note that this area is for immediate loading only, so cars should wait in Short Term Parking until the passenger has cleared baggage claim (the first 15 minutes are free). See the McCarran airport website for detailed driving directions to the passenger pick up area in terminal 1.
