Traveller Comments....
Slot machines at Baggage Claim. Source: Jerome, Wikipedia
"I don't believe I ever got to sleep, because all through the night this GIANT Wheel of Fortune slot machine said...WHEEL......OF.....FORTUNE...followed by a loud roar from a "crowd"." (Joe Ohioan in Oregon)
"Another alternative is to sleep on the monorail that goes between the main terminal and the United terminal. It is automated so there is no driver, and there are two long carpeted benches on each end of each car." (?)

I once worked at McCarran Airport so know it well. I've slept here many times, but not happily. The concourses are open all night, and no one will bother you inside security, but the experience is marred by one major defect: 100 percent of the seating has fixed arm rests. You'll either have to sleep on the floor or contort yourself around the armrests. (In the fetal position -- it's doable if you are limber but not exactly comfortable.) If you arrive late in the evening, you can remain inside security and save one night's lodging - then claim your baggage the next day. If you bring some sort of padding as a carry-on, it might make sleeping on the floor more bearable. (However, check out Terrible's Casino, which is a short bus ride and walk away, or check Hostelworld.com for hostel options.) Terminals can be over-air-conditioned and chilly, so bring a blanket and warm clothes, as well as foam earplugs to tone down announcements.... Outside security: signs say you can't be present 2-5am without a valid ticket or boarding pass. (A ticket for the next morning's flight might do.) Same problem with the armrests.... AIRPORT FACTS: Terminals A, B and C are interconnected. Airport food is priced sky-high. Free WiFi everywhere! Infernal gambling machines in every concourse. Convenient all-night city bus leaves from the Zero Level: 5 dollar pass, purchased on the bus, lets you ride the whole bus system for 24 hours (with a 1 dollar upgrade charge for each ride on the Strip). If you choose to walk to the Strip, it's about 2 miles. Rental cars on weekends can be very cheap.
