IF you are lucky and:
- the arriving flight is on time – no mechanical, weather or air traffic delays.
- the departure gate is close to your arrival gate.
Personally, I would never book a flight with that short of an interval (not on purpose anyway).
Best of luck!

Highly unlikely. They will not wait for you, and as you have no luggage they will not delay to check if your bags are onboard without you.

As long as your first flight does not arrive late, you should be fine. The Las Vegas airport isn’t huge.

If your first flight is not late
If your entire journey is on the same airline
If your connecting flight leaves from the same terminal that you arrive in
If you find a seat at the front rows
YES.

I believe the Las Vegas airport is small. I dont know how small it is exactally! So, just call the airport with your flight numbers and ask them to have a cart ready for you to fly down the airport. Also, call the airline that you are flying from Nashville to LV and tell them your situation and ask then to by-pass the seat booking fee to be in the front row(you will get out fastest) and to put a note on the cabin crew’s paper that you NEED to exit first!
Hope that helps:)

Not really, but if you are lucky and what the previous posters stated, you may make it
As for McCarran Int’l being small – last year it ranked 15th in the world for passenger movement and 6th in the world for aircraft movement – it is NOT small in operation.

One of the routes I take fairly regularly on Southwest involves a 30 minute layover in Las Vegas. I can’t speak for other airlines, but the Southwest gates are all right next to each other. One time my first flight was 40 minutes late getting in and they held the second flight for me because it was the last plane out for the night. Since I wasn’t changing airlines, the ground crew knew via the computer system that I needed to make that transfer. I didn’t have to call or anything. You probably won’t have time to go to get food or anything, but based on my experience you should be OK.

That’s not a lot of time between flights. If your first flight is on time, you may be able to make it. Try to get a seat toward the front of your plane on your first flight, so that you can be one of the first off the plane. If you are flying on the same airline, then you may get lucky and be taking off from a gate near the one at which you land. Flights typically start boarding 20-30 minutes before departure, and the doors close anywhere from 5-10 minutes before departure. So you really only have 25-30 minutes to get to your plane, and boarding will be well underway at that point. They will not hold it for you – that is extremely rare, and usually will only occur for the last flight of the day. Vegas airport is not overwhelmingly large, but it’s not by any means small.
So try hard to get a seat toward the front, and then just hope and pray your flight lands on time and arrives on the same concourse from where you are departing.

I think you will have enough time. I would just hurry just to make sure. You are on a connecting flight witch means you don’t have to go though security. If your connection is at another concourse A, B, C, etc. you just have to take a short tram ride. Just remember they close all gates 10 minutes before takeoff! Good luck
