Andy:
I've flown into Las Vegas a number of
times from San Diego. As for GA friendly airports, North Las Vegas
was where I went in the last time and they are set up nicely. You can get
your rental car right there and it is a short drive down to the strip.
Henderson is to the south of Las Vegas and is a really nice airport too.
Boulder City is further out toward the Hoover Dam and is where I bought my
Ercoupe. They are all set up nicely for GA. If I were coming in
from the North, I'd probably fly into Henderson and let them vector me over
McCarren/Las Vegas International. You get a great view of the strip
but watch out for the Stratosphere! The controllers are very friendly and
will help you. I had one of those little brown "Flight Guides" that
shows the airport diagrams and VFR routes. The Las Vegas one shows the
different arrival and departure routes through the Class
B. Having that was a big help. I came up from
the south, transitioned over Henderson and then right over the
numbers of McCarren. That set me up for a long right downwind into
North Las Vegas.
I had a posting a while back about my
last flight into Las Vegas over the deserts and mountains in the
summer heat. If you've never done it, expect a lot of up
and down. The posting was, "Flying the Coupe Hot and
High"
Good Luck

Subject: [COUPERS-FLYIN] Las Vegas flight----[Please read http://ercoupers.com/disclaimer.htm before following any advice in this forum.]----Hi All...I've just started planning a trip from the Northwest (Seattle area) to Las Vegas this summer. Are there any coupers on the list that can give any insight to the area? What nearby airports welcome little birds? On my "to do" list is a night flight.ThanksAndy Pomeroy2417H============================================================================== To leave this forum go to: http://ercoupers.com/lists.htm Search the archives on http://escribe.com/aviation/coupers/
