And what about Jean (0L7)? The runway looks to be walking distance to the casino (and prison!) there. Anyone know the condition of the runways, tie-down fees (if any), etc?
What's the latest intel on RV-Friendly Vegas airports? Any leads on available hangar space in a couple weeks?
Just to follow up from my earlier post. I flew in to Henderson with my son. We didn't have time to gamble (he is under age too). but stopped and had a bite to eat. The trip to the strip would have cost me, no more freebies. jean has a casino right near the airport, but it is far from the Las Vegas strip.
I think McCarran is the way to go.
When I left, I headed due west over the solar farm; this was bright and distracting. If heading in or out from the west I would definitively be on flight following to avoid problems with the glare from the farm.
Next time, I will leave Henderson and head north just to get a view of the strip before heading west.
My wife and I are in Las Vegas for the rest of this week and weekend - she has a professional conference to attend, and I have, well, a bunch of free time on my hands. Unfortunately we had to ride the big iron here instead of our 9A.
I know it's not much notice but figured I'd see if there was anyone nearby who wanted to meet up and talk RVs for a bit. We're staying on the strip but I wouldn't mind grabbing a cab to one of the nearby airports to get away from the hubbub. If there's anyone building, I can buck a pretty good rivet too
Any updates on Vegas baby?
I am thinking of flying in saturday for a quick lunch (not staying). I will be coming from LA area.
Do they still allow the strip transition into VGT?
Since I will be spending a long weekend there in september to do the grand canyon/ brice canyon tour, this is a precussor to get a feel for VGT and figuring how to get around.
Any updates to this thread is most appreciated.
