FSD → LAS
Which side of the plane to sit from Joe Foss Field Airport (Sioux Falls) to McCarran International Airport (Las Vegas)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the high peaks of the Colorado Rockies and typically provides a spectacular aerial view of the Las Vegas Strip during the final descent.
Rocky Mountain National Park
Breathtaking views of Longs Peak and the jagged alpine terrain of northern Colorado.
Zion and Bryce Canyon
Vibrant red rock formations and the high-altitude plateaus of Southern Utah.
Valley of Fire
Stunning red Aztec sandstone outcrops located just north of the approach path.
The Las Vegas Strip
Unrivaled views of the world-famous resorts and casinos during the final approach to runway 26.
Sit behind the wing to ensure your view of the Las Vegas Strip isn't obstructed during the descent. Afternoon flights highlight the deep reds of the Utah desert formations perfectly.
Nebraska Sandhills
Expansive views of the unique grass-stabilized sand dunes covering western Nebraska.
Southern Rockies
Distal views of the Front Range including Pikes Peak and the Sangre de Cristo Mountains.
Canyonlands
The intricate mazes and deep canyons carved by the Colorado and Green Rivers in Utah.
Lake Mead
The massive blue waters of the reservoir contrasted against the stark desert landscape.
Early morning flights provide excellent lighting for the Colorado canyons. If the plane approaches LAS from the east, look for the Hoover Dam just before the final turn for landing.
