ATW → LAS
Which side of the plane to sit from Appleton International Airport (Appleton) to McCarran International Airport (Las Vegas)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is the definitive choice for this route, offering spectacular views of the Utah canyonlands and the most iconic aerial perspective of the Las Vegas Strip during landing.
Northern Rockies
Sweeping vistas of the snow-capped peaks in Northern Colorado and parts of Wyoming.
Utah Canyons
The colorful, stratified rock formations of southern Utah, including views near Zion and Bryce Canyon.
Valley of Fire
Bright red sandstone formations that appear to glow, located just north of the arrival path into Vegas.
Las Vegas Strip
The ultimate view of the city's mega-resorts and neon lights during the final descent into LAS.
The right side is essential for the famous 'Strip view' on arrival into Las Vegas. During the final approach (typically Runway 26R), the city center is on the right. For evening flights, this side offers a world-class light show as the neon casinos appear in the desert.
Mississippi River
Visible early in the flight as you cross the border between Wisconsin and Iowa.
Southern Rockies
Views of the rugged Colorado peaks and the transition from plains to high-altitude mountains.
Lake Mead
The deep blue waters of the Colorado River reservoir contrasting sharply with the Mojave Desert.
Hoover Dam
An impressive bird's-eye view of the massive concrete dam on the Nevada-Arizona border.
Opt for the left side if you are primarily interested in the engineering of the Hoover Dam. For daytime flights, this side experiences more direct sun glare; keep the window shade partially closed during mid-flight to manage cabin heat.
