FNTLAS

Our Recommendation
8.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers an iconic approach into Las Vegas, featuring the highest peaks of the Colorado Rockies followed by prime views of Lake Mead, the Hoover Dam, and the Las Vegas Strip on descent.

Left Side Highlights
8.8
🏙️

Chicago Skyline

Distant views of the Willis Tower and the southern Lake Michigan shoreline as the flight crosses into Illinois.

🏔️

Colorado Rockies

Dramatic vistas of the southern Front Range and Pikes Peak during the transition from the Great Plains.

🌊

Lake Mead

The vast turquoise waters of the nation's largest reservoir provide a stunning contrast to the surrounding desert.

🏗️

Hoover Dam

A clear view of this engineering marvel on the Colorado River just minutes before landing at LAS.

✨

Las Vegas Strip

Depending on the wind-dependent runway configuration, the left side often looks directly down at the neon lights of the Strip.

Book a window seat behind the wing to ensure your view of the Hoover Dam isn't obstructed. On evening arrivals, the left side is essential for seeing the illuminated Strip. During winter, look for the snow-capped Sangre de Cristo Mountains.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
🌊

Lake Michigan

Broad views of the southern lake basin and the Indiana Dunes shortly after departure from Flint.

🌲

Rocky Mountain National Park

Aerial perspective of the jagged alpine peaks and glaciers in northern Colorado.

🏜️

Arches and Canyonlands

The deep reds and oranges of the Utah desert, including visible natural arches and deep river canyons.

🧗

Grand Staircase-Escalante

Striking geological layers showing millions of years of history in the high desert of southern Utah.

🔥

Valley of Fire

Brilliant red sandstone formations north of Las Vegas that glow intensely during the late afternoon sun.

The right side is a geologist's dream; choose this side for morning flights to avoid the glare of the southern sun and to get the best light on the red rock formations of Utah and Nevada. Keep an eye out for the Glen Canyon Dam shortly before the Nevada border.
