Las Vegas Strip
Aerial perspective of the iconic mega-resorts and high-rises immediately following takeoff from LAS.
Ivanpah Solar Facility
A massive, shimmering array of thousands of mirrors surrounding three boiler towers in the Mojave Desert.
Mojave National Preserve
Vast desert landscapes featuring cinder cones, lava flows, and dense Joshua Tree forests.
Mount San Gorgonio
The highest peak in Southern California, often snow-capped, visible as you cross the mountain barrier.
Inland Empire Basin
The sprawling suburban landscape of San Bernardino and Riverside counties during the final descent.
Sit on the left (port) side for the highest chance of seeing the Strip during a westbound departure. This side also avoids direct glare from the sun on afternoon flights heading southwest. Keep your camera ready shortly after takeoff to capture the Ivanpah Solar plant’s unique glow.

Red Rock Canyon
Stunning red sandstone peaks and seasonal waterfalls located just west of the Las Vegas valley.
Mount Charleston
The highest point in the Spring Mountains, offering a stark contrast to the surrounding desert floor.
Victorville Boneyard
The Southern California Logistics Airport where hundreds of retired commercial airliners are parked in the desert.
Mount San Antonio
Commonly known as Mount Baldy, this is the highest peak in the San Gabriel range and looms over Ontario.
The right side is ideal for spotting the aviation boneyard at Victorville and the rugged San Gabriel Mountains. Afternoon travelers should be aware of potential sun glare. During winter months, the snow-covered north faces of the mountains provide excellent contrast for photography.
