When traveling on participating airlines, visit any one of the seven Airport SpeedCheck Advance locations to check your baggage several hours prior to your scheduled flight. Using Airport SpeedCheck Advance technology, Bags To Go agents tag and store your luggage, and present you with an airline boarding pass. Next, Bags To Go transports the luggage to McCarran to be screened by Transportation Security Administration agents, who screen the bags just as they would those checked at the airport. Bags are then passed on to their respective airlines to be loaded onto the appropriate outbound aircraft. Skip the ticketing counters and advance to the security checkpoint and gate. You won’t have to handle your bags again until you’ve arrived at your destination. What better way to leave Las Vegas in style? *A service fee applies.
