MOT → LAS
Which side of the plane to sit from Minot International Airport (Minot) to McCarran International Airport (Las Vegas)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior sequence of dramatic landscapes, ranging from the rugged Badlands of the north to the iconic red rock canyons of Utah and a high-probability view of the Las Vegas Strip upon arrival.

The Badlands
Striking clay formations and eroded buttes of western North Dakota and South Dakota.
Black Hills
The dark, forested silhouettes of the Black Hills National Forest rising from the plains.
Utah Canyonlands
Breathtaking aerial views of the deep red canyons and mesas of southern Utah.
Las Vegas Strip
Most standard flight patterns into LAS offer a clear, close-up view of the mega-resorts and High Roller.
The right side is unbeatable for canyon enthusiasts. For evening flights, you will witness a spectacular desert sunset. On approach, the pilot often banks over the city, giving right-side passengers a front-row seat to the neon lights of the Strip.

Missouri River
Watch the winding path of the Missouri River shortly after departure from Minot.
Colorado Front Range
Distant but impressive views of the eastern edge of the Rocky Mountains.
Lake Mead
The massive reservoir on the Colorado River marks the final descent toward Las Vegas.
Hoover Dam
A glimpse of this engineering marvel can often be seen just east of the city limits.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. This side is better for spotting the expansive blue waters of Lake Mead and the residential sprawl of Henderson as you descend into the valley.
