First Stop at the Airport: Liquor Library

Liquor Library is located in Terminal 1 of McCarran International Airport. Unlike typical duty-free tobacco and alcohol shops beyond security, it is the first retail liquor store open to the public that includes taxes. In addition to offering a wide variety of beers, wines, spirits, and cigars, it is also themed like a library—with white bookshelves, library-style steps, elegant round chandeliers, dark wooden floors, and white marble countertops. If you don’t look closely at the dazzling array of amber-hued liquors on the shelves, you might think you’ve walked into a library. Even the staff are called “librarians,” dressed in white shirts and stylish thick-rimmed glasses as they glide elegantly through the space.
