Which side of the plane to sit from Fresno Yosemite International Airport (Fresno) to McCarran International Airport (Las Vegas)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a superior vantage point for the dramatic transition from the high Sierra Nevada peaks to the depths of Death Valley, ending with a likely view of the Las Vegas Strip.

Mount Whitney
The highest summit in the contiguous United States, visible as part of the rugged Sierra Nevada range.
Death Valley
Aerial views of the salt flats and dramatic basins of the hottest place on Earth.
Red Rock Canyon
Striking crimson sandstone cliffs located just west of the Las Vegas valley.
Las Vegas Strip
A spectacular view of the mega-resorts and the Sphere when landing on runways 26L/R.
Sit on the left for the best chance to see the Strip; many arrivals from the west fly directly past the resorts. Morning flights offer the best lighting for the Sierra Nevada peaks without afternoon haze.

Sequoia National Forest
Vast stretches of giant sequoia groves and deep canyons in the southern Sierras.
Mojave Desert
A stark and beautiful landscape of Joshua trees, dunes, and ancient volcanic flows.
Spring Mountains
The towering limestone peaks that frame the western edge of the Las Vegas skyline.
Southern Nevada Grid
Observation of the distinct urban-desert boundary and the rapid expansion of the Las Vegas valley.
The right side is better for afternoon flights to avoid the direct sun. Look for the massive Ivanpah Solar Facility's glowing towers to the south if the flight path takes a more southerly route.
