Vendor requirements at Harry Reid International Airport
Las Vegas, NV. LAS. Sponsor: Clark County (Department of Aviation)
Doing business at Harry Reid requires a permit or lease from the Clark County Department of Aviation under Clark County Code Title 20. The Department's Minimum Standards directive exists but could not be read, and no insurance limits are published. Badges come from the DOA Security Badging Office, which runs SIDA and Ramp training Monday to Thursday.
Permit to operate
Permit or lease under Clark County Code Title 20, issued by Clark County Department of Aviation.
The published GA operating permit process covers the County's GA reliever airports (North Las Vegas, Henderson Executive and others), not LAS. Whether the same process applies at LAS was not confirmed.
Insurance minimums
The airport does not publish fixed insurance limits for vendors. Limits are set in each permit or agreement, so ask the airport or your hosting FBO for the exact numbers.

SIDA, AOA, GA and the front door: who needs what to get on the field
Airport access is not just the gate. Vendor teams walk in through FBO lobbies, step onto hangar floors and drive the ramp, and each step can need a different credential. Here is how airport badges and escort rules work, in plain terms.

A certificate of insurance is a one-page summary, not a policy. Here is how FBOs, operators and shops can read one box by box, spot the gaps that matter on an airport, and know what to ask for before a vendor touches an aircraft.
