United is the fourth-largest commercial passenger carrier with an average 32 flights a day to and from Las Vegas' McCarran International Airport.
Airline officials could not be reached for comment on whether the low-fare carrier would replace some local service or, in the alternative, increase United's operations in Las Vegas.
United now offers nine daily round trips between McCarran and Denver International Airport.
Hilarie Grey, a spokeswoman for McCarran, said United has had no discussions with the airport about expanding the number of gates or ticket counters there.
