Las Vegas airport to be renamed after former Sen. Harry Reid

A resolution to change the name of McCarran International Airport in Las Vegas to honor former Nevada Sen. Harry Reid was approved Tuesday by the Clark County Commission.

Commissioners voted unanimously to rename the location the Harry Reid International Airport after the Democratic former majority leader, who left the Senate in 2016.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) will need to approve the name change before it's official, KVVU-TV reports.

If approved, the re-branding will cost about $2 million, which will be covered by private donors, according to the Las Vegas Sun. The airport's three-letter FAA identifier, LAS, wouldn't change.
