Every year, tens of millions of people visit Las Vegas, Nevada. Some are traveling there for business, some are traveling for leisure; some are there for the pool, and some are there for the poker table. But no matter the attraction, there is one thing most of these travelers have in common – they want to stay connected throughout their trip.
And who can blame them? Whether checking the scores for basketball and hockey games, looking at hotel details, or catching up on work email, staying connected while traveling makes it easier to take care of business.
That’s why we are proud to enable the Harry Reid International Airport to deliver secure, reliable connectivity to travelers.
Welcome to Las Vegas
One goal of the airport is to get travelers through the airport as efficiently as possible, even in times of peak travel. The airport annually caters to more than 57 million entertainment seekers, conference attendees, and sports fans, with huge spikes in usage around headliner events throughout the year.
For example, on Monday, February 12, 2024 (the day after a certain sporting event), the airport saw more than 100,000 travelers and more than 700,000 unique Wi-Fi sessions. Despite this level of volume, LAS ensures continuously high levels of connectivity that have helped it earn top JD Power rankings for airport satisfaction.
That’s because the team at LAS is constantly looking for ways to improve operations and enhance travelers’ experience. The airport recently modernized its technology to Wi-Fi 6E connectivity, which takes advantage of the new 6 GHz band for faster speeds and lower latency, to help travelers stay connected and keep the airport running smoothly. From the moment travelers deplane in Las Vegas, they are greeted with ongoing seamless, secure, mobile connectivity, delivered by HPE Aruba Networking. And the airport’s commitment to network security and data privacy helps ensure that what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas.
“We have really relied on HPE… to give us that new, modern technology so that we can handle our passengers seamlessly through the airport. Without them – and without the innovation they’re putting into the market – we wouldn’t be as robust and as network-savvy as we are today.”

Looking Ahead
The era of AI is ushering in a wealth of new opportunities and the role of the network in embracing AI solutions cannot be overstated.
When companies are looking at ways to harness the power of AI for automation or efficiency, the power of an AI model comes from the data that feeds and trains the model. And the way to get data into the model is the network. So, the ability to have high-speed, low-latency, secure data transmission is critical for harnessing the power of AI models. And that’s what we’re delivering. We are enabling customers like LAS to optimize their networks and embrace the possibilities that AI technologies can offer.
We look forward to continuing to work with LAS and all our customers to deliver networking for AI and the infrastructure they need to be ready to support the network-intensive workloads that AI applications demand.
Whether it’s boosting the reach and coverage of their network so that travelers can connect to the airport Wi-Fi while they’re still on the plane or using network usage patterns to improve operations, the team at Harry Reid International Airport is all in when it comes to delivering exceptional connectivity for their customers.
