On any airport charts, including the free FAA charts, they are clearly noted as HOLD PADS which are meant for aircraft to enter them to "hold" for thier gate to open, their EDCT time, or just as overnight ramp space.  These should not have raised lights around them.

I understand that there isn't much new material for the new extension of the D gates that I speak of, but it would be nice to have a taxiway line that goes all the way around the terminal.

I agree, a taxiway line would be nice, except for one small thing. There isn't one yet! :) The extension you're thinking of (which will be the E gates, btw) is still under construction and because of that, there isn't the room for it to go completely around the D gates. Initially, they weren't even going to do that! But it is going to happen soon; from the Google Maps shot, they just had completed the pavement behind the D gates there to barely be able to taxi back behind there. Obviously now it is a lot further advanced.

The holding pads have been there for ages (with the exception of the one that was where Taxiway R is now, north of A2). There's a lot of development happening at KLAS right now, that FSDT wouldn't be able to completely keep up; case in point, KLAS being released shortly after they reopened 25L/7R, and making taxiway A3 from that runway a highspeed instead of a full 90 degree corner. FSDT will catch up, in due time.

Need any info on McCarran? Ask away, as I work there at nights and am one of the few with an movement area licence so I should be able to answer any questions ;)

Sure. Have any pictures or info on the new highspeed taxiway A3? NACO just issued the new cycle for the charts, and it shows the new taxiway. I'm sure FSDT could use that.

No pictures yet. A7 is also a high speed taxiway now though.
