Places to go around Las Vegas
We will be in Las Vegas in February. We rented a Cessna 172 last year and
did the Hoover Dam, Lad mead, Grand Cayon thing. Where do we go this year? Are there any good $100 (or more) hamburger destinations nearby or other sights we should see? - - - Al 1964 Skyhawk SFF/Spokane WA -- Al Gilson Spokane, WA USA 1970 VW Convertible 1964 Cessna Skyhawk |

Fly south down the river to Bullhead City AZ (short flight) and take the
river taxi over to Laughlin Casinos for Lunch.. and one of the casinos has a nice antique car museum.. Fly to the Airport south of Grand Canyon and go through the aircraft museum... I'll go look up the information if you need it, I think there is lunch on the airport somewhere Fly over to Mojave and go through Burt Rutan's stuff.. want to see Space Ship One and the White Knight? Fly down to Sendona AZ, About 1+30 in an Arrow, so maybe a tad longer in a C-172.. great airport restaurant and fantastic views of the Sedona Hills BT Of course.. if in early February.. I'll be in Ontario CA for the Soaring Convention. "Al Gilson" wrote in message ... We will be in Las Vegas in February.

Al,
Sunday brunch at the Furnace Creek Lodge in Death Valley is an option. So is Bryce and Zion Canyon, as well as the Lake Powell area. Sedona isn't very far, either. Also, lunch at Marble Canyon (L41) is good, but that would take you to the GC again. -- Thomas Borchert (EDDH) |

Zatatime,
I'll second the recommendation for West Air at VGT. A solid outfit. -- Thomas Borchert (EDDH) |
