BUR → LAS
Which side of the plane to sit from Bob Hope Airport (Burbank) to McCarran International Airport (Las Vegas)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the San Gabriel peaks during ascent and typically provides a direct, close-up view of the Las Vegas Strip when the aircraft aligns for landing on the most common runway configurations.

Mount San Antonio
Also known as Mt. Baldy, this is the highest peak in the San Gabriel Mountains and often snow-capped in winter.
Seven Magic Mountains
A glimpse of the neon-colored boulder art installation in the desert just south of the city.
The Las Vegas Strip
Unparalleled views of the mega-resorts, including the Sphere, Caesars Palace, and the High Roller, especially during the final descent.
Allegiant Stadium
The sleek, black 'Death Star' stadium is clearly visible as the plane banks toward the airport.
For the iconic 'Vegas' view, the right side is essential. Book an evening flight to see the Strip's neon lights in full glory. Most flights land facing west, meaning the right side looks north directly at the resort corridor during the final approach.

San Gabriel Mountains
Dramatic views of the rugged mountain range bordering the Los Angeles basin immediately after departure.
Mojave National Preserve
Expansive vistas of the high desert, including cinder cones and ancient lava flows.
Red Rock Canyon
Striking red sandstone cliffs and canyons visible as the flight enters the Las Vegas Valley.
Choose the left side for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. This side is excellent for spotting the high desert topography and the stark transition from the California mountains to the Nevada desert floor.
