LAS is not great. The baggage claim looks like DOH after 7 747s arrive at 2AM and with less class and a worse smell. The taxi line is mindnumbing.
Don't quote me here but I gather BWI is cheaper than IAD or DCA so leisure travelers may very well make the longer trek to BWI. Where as business travelers likely opt for the most convenient option in DCA or IAD. Also not everyone flying out of DCA/IAD/BWI lives in DC.
