Yep, you can still take the free ferry from the casinos on the Nevada side, to the Arizona side, which is literally across the street from the airport. It will save you from any kind of long walk in the 110+ degree heat.
Vja217 is right, there used to be a 737 operator out there. Their name was something like "Sun.....???" Sun something. I forget, but I think they are no longer in business. I know Air Midwest still flies 1900s out there and Pace Airlines is there too. To the best of my knowledge, neither have any kind of pilot base out there.
