Narrative:
After clearing the runway the ground controller cleared me to spot 12 to contract ramp for clearance to gate. I used my current; up-to-date; airport page and taxied to spot 12 and contacted ramp control. They told us to go back to ground control. Ground control scolded us for not following their instructions to go to spot 12. I told them I am at spot 12. They said spot 12 had been moved; along with several other spots; and that it is in the holding pad 100 yards east. I said sorry; I was using the chart I had. After getting to the gate I found that the airport had repainted and moved several spots. I called dispatch and told them to not send any more aircraft to las until you provide them with a current diagram for ramp entry points. Las was handing out a diagram to outbound crews.
Original NASA ASRS Text
Title: An air carrier crew stopped at an incorrect holding location in LAS after the spots were repainted at different locations. The commercial airport chart in use by the crew did not reflect the current locations.
