The Palouse
Immediate views of the rolling, multi-colored agricultural hills of Eastern Washington.
Hells Canyon
North America's deepest river gorge, visible as a jagged rift on the Idaho-Oregon border.
Great Basin Ranges
A series of repetitive, isolated mountain ranges separated by flat desert basins.
Lake Mead
The massive blue expanse of the reservoir and the Hoover Dam are often visible on the left descent.
Las Vegas Strip
The most iconic view of the flight, featuring the Sphere and major casino resorts during final approach.
Choose the left side for evening flights to avoid the harsh western sun and to see the glowing neon lights of the Strip. During the descent into LAS, the pilots often fly south of the airport before turning back north, giving left-side passengers a front-row seat to the city's landmarks.

On clear days, distant views of snow-capped volcanoes like Mt. Hood can be seen to the west.
Blue Mountains
Dense coniferous forests covering the rugged terrain of Northeast Oregon.
Steens Mountain
A massive fault-block mountain that towers over the Alvord Desert in Southeast Oregon.
Red Rock Canyon
A stunning display of Aztec Sandstone cliffs visible just before touching down in Vegas.
Allegiant Stadium
The sleek, black exterior of the Raiders' stadium is a highlight on the western approach.
The right side is superior for morning flights to see the morning light hit the Cascades. Watch for the stark contrast between the green forests of Oregon and the transition into the high desert. Avoid this side on late afternoon flights to prevent significant glare and heat from the setting sun.
