DLH โ LAS
Which side of the plane to sit from Duluth International Airport (Duluth) to McCarran International Airport (Las Vegas)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior display of diverse American landscapes, transitioning from the rugged Badlands and the high Rockies to the vibrant red rock formations of southern Utah and the Mojave Desert.
Badlands National Park
View the striking eroded buttes and pinnacles of the South Dakota landscape early in the journey.
Front Range Rockies
Soar over the heart of the Rocky Mountains, featuring some of the highest peaks in the contiguous United States.
Bryce Canyon Region
Look down upon the unique geological 'hoodoos' and orange amphitheatres of southern Utah.
Zion National Park
The deep canyons and massive sandstone cliffs of Zion are a major highlight during the descent phase.
Mojave Desert
The vast, arid beauty of the Mojave marks the final approach into the Las Vegas valley.
Book an afternoon flight for dramatic shadows over the Utah canyons, which enhances the depth of the red rock scenery. The right side is particularly scenic during the winter when the Rockies and Utah plateaus are blanketed in snow, creating a high-contrast landscape.
Mississippi River
Catch glimpses of the upper Mississippi River basin shortly after departure from Duluth.
Denver Skyline
On a southerly track, the Mile High City and its sprawling suburbs appear against the mountain backdrop.
Sangre de Cristo Mountains
The southern reach of the Rockies provides jagged, snow-capped peaks during the mid-flight segment.
Lake Mead
As the plane descends into Las Vegas, the massive blue reservoir and Hoover Dam are often visible to the south.
The Las Vegas Strip
Depending on the landing pattern, the glittering lights of the famous Strip may appear on the left side.
Morning flights are ideal for the left side to avoid direct afternoon sun glare. Keep your camera ready during the final 15 minutes of flight for a potential view of the Hoover Dam and the Colorado River as you cross into Nevada.
