Lunch around Las Vegas
We will be in Las Vegas in February and are renting a C-172 for some
aerial adventures. Last Year we did the standard wandering: Hoover Dam, Lake Mead, fly over the strip and downtown. This year we need to find a good lunch location about an hour or so from North Las Vegas (KVGT). Any suggestions? Thanks. Al -- Al Gilson Spokane, WA USA 1970 VW Convertible 1964 Cessna Skyhawk |

Al,
if you're not that much into casinos, here are two alternatives: - Marble Canyon (L41), including overflight of the Grand Canyon - Furnace Creek/Death Valley. Complimentary pick-up by the Furnace Creek Resort, which lies on a bluff overlooking the valley. Their Sunday brunch is spectacular. As is landing at minus 200 feet. -- Thomas Borchert (EDDH) |

what Larry did not add, you'll land at Bullhead City AZ, study the airport
diagram for the "lower level riverside" parking. Let tower know that's where you are going, it's a one way taxi, either up or down, and there is a turn out midway to allow planes to pass. Then walk across the road and pick up the water taxi to the Laughlin side. Make sure to inquire of the taxi captain, how to get to the Hilton for Brunch. When you taxi out for departure, tower will let you know when it's clear to start up the hill. Some people fly down to Jean NV from locations other than Vegas for brunch at the two local casinos, but it's not worth it if you are only coming from VGT. I'd go to Laughlin or Furnace Creek. enjoy BT "Larry Dighera" wrote in message ...

The Sunday brunch at the Laughlin Flamingo Hilton is first rate, and isn't nearly the zoo that you'll find in Las Vegas. |

The Officers Club at Area 51 has a nice special. Kind of a one time thing
though...... |

Any suggestions? St. George, UT. We were thinking of St. George (via the Valley of Fire, I believe). What will we find there? Is there a good place on the field or do we have to go into town? -- Al Gilson Spokane, WA USA 1970 VW Convertible 1964 Cessna Skyhawk |

We were thinking of St. George (via the Valley of Fire, I believe). What will we find there? Is there a good place on the field or do we have to go into town? been there twice. one time over night and one time for lunch only. we stayed on the field, there is a restaurant across the street (go through the gate and remember the unicom frequency for the code for reentry, IIRC). you don't have to walk down into town. we had a great view. beware of the wind when landing or departing, well, you will get the picture when there. :-) #m Great tips. I think that will be our plan. Al -- Al Gilson Spokane, WA USA 1970 VW Convertible 1964 Cessna Skyhawk |
