I recently had occasion to pass through DFW on American. How many
control towers does that airport have? What do they all do? I was
looking out the window like a kid. I think we passed a "35C". Sure is
a GIANT airport to a 172 driver. Was into McCarren once; it was
child's play compared to what DFW looks like.

DFW has 3 separate towers, as others have mentioned. Not just
different frequencies, but different independent functioning towers.
The LiveATC feed for it has been down for a while, but in my time
listening to it and flying through there, I remember the West Tower
controlling 13R/31L and the 18s/36s, while the East Tower controlled
13L/31R and the 17s/35s. That would leave the central tower for Ground
and Ramp control in the terminal areas.

You're right. McCarran is nothing compared to there. KLAS has 2
separate Ramp Towers and the one ATC tower with split frequencies
there, but it is still one tower for runway ops. This is a different
bear altogether.
