There really is no way to tell as LAS flights depart from both Terminals C & E. If you don't have GE it can take quite a while to clear customs at IAH especially during the time when most of the international flights are arriving.

Most often flights to LAS leave from terminal C, but sometimes from E. If you fly direct from LHR you will land at E. Be sure to allow lots of time for customs & then to get to your new gate.

However, once you get out of customs, changing terminals is a breeze. Easiest hub airport to transfer IMO (now that CLE is out )

Thanks for that, arriving with BA and if on time have 3 hours between flights to clear customs/immigration so hopefully we can do it.

Okay your arriving on BA so actually your arriving at Terminal D, and your flight to LAS will either depart from Terminal C or E. 3 hours should be plenty of time.

Don't forget apart from clearing US Customs at IAH, you will also have to clear TSA security. This can also take up additional time as when it is crowded the TSA are quite slow.

I think you will need to check your arrival information when you fly. Both BA flights to IAH today show arrival at Terminal E, according to the BA website.
Unless your BA flight is late, you have scheduled ample time to get to your new gate. But there are lots if flights to LAS even if you miss your scheduled flight.

Terminal E is exclusively United/United Express. It's showing as arriving Terminal E as that is where the FIS area is for both Terminal D & E arrivals. However all international carriers BA, EK, SQ etc all use Terminal D for departure & arrivals.

Thanks. I was unaware of that. I do not fly any of those carriers to/from IAH.
