LAS VEGAS – A county board voted unanimously Tuesday to rename busy McCarran International Airport after former U.S. Sen. Harry Reid of Nevada.
The all-Democratic Clark County Commission approved a measure directing the county’s airport staff to file a change with the Federal Aviation Administration renaming the facility Harry Reid International Airport.
The county commission oversees the airport and is the final authority on a name change.
There have been long-standing calls to rename the airport. Its current namesake, Patrick McCarran, served as one of Nevada’s two U.S. senators from 1933 until his death in 1954. He was known for his contributions to aviation along with his anti-immigrant and anti-Semitic views.
Reid, a Democrat and the former Senate majority leader, retired in 2016 after serving 30 years. The proposal was put forward by Commissioner Tick Segerblom, a former chair of the state Democratic Party who announced last week he is again running for the chairmanship.

Treadmill International
Maybe O’Hare in Chicago should change its name to Al Capone International
to be faithful to it’s namesake, the airport needs to have a recurring black eye inflicted by it’s wife when she drinks.
Corruption Field.
Hell no!
As if we needed MORE reason to not go to Vegas.
Geez.
beneath the name on the welcome sign should be it’s new slogan: “thanks for all the judges. Signed Donald Trump”
A mob-serving airport named after a mobster.

Solidarity among Corruptocrats.
Why not Wayne Newton? Stupid question!
There has to be a corrupt land transaction linked to this. Follow the $
Reid spent his entire career in Nevada and National politics. He likely started his political career worth four or five figures. He left politics worth eight figures. How does he do that?
Maybe they can lie about their arrivals and departures and lost baggage then just say “well, it worked didn’t it?”.
It will become POS International.
But as for the city itself all I can say is if the United States were to be given a giant enema they'd stick the nozzle in through Las Vegas.
They could name the airport Jesus Is Lord" International and I still wouldn't go there.
Of course others may differ.
