ilovecornfields Posted March 13, 2023 Report Posted March 13, 2023 So, it looks like I’m going to be able to bring my son to a conference next week in Vegas. I was hoping to do some scenic flying with him while we’re there. We’ve already done the Hoover Dam and Grand Canyon stuff in a helicopter, so we’ll probably skip that. I heard there was a transition that let you fly over the strip but when I called Vegas approach today they said there’s no real transition but if I go to North Las Vegas and ask for a Bravo clearance to Henderson they “might” let me do it and it “might” get me over the strip. Anyone have trips for getting a clearance to fly over the strip or other fun scenic flights in the area? Quote
N201MKTurbo Posted March 13, 2023 Report Posted March 13, 2023 I came through there at 2:00 AM once. They let me fly right down the strip at 1000 feet. I was below the top of the Stratosphere. 2 Quote
kerry Posted March 13, 2023 Report Posted March 13, 2023 If transitioning from the East over Lake Mead to KVGT you can request bravo clearance and ask for the strip tour. They route you to the Tropicana hotel West of the Strip and take you to the Stratosphere then turn you over to the North Las Vegas airport. It depends on how busy they are and what runways they are landing at LAS. Flying West 10 miles of the Las Vegas is Red Rock which is very beautiful and specatular. 1 Quote
