Leaving Las Vegas in Style: A Guide to the Winning Window Seat
Ah, Las Vegas. The city of lights, the gambler's paradise, the place where buffets flow like tears on a blackjack losing streak. But even the most dedicated roller (on the roulette table, that is) eventually craves departure. Fear not, weary traveler, for there's a way to maximize your exit - by snagging the prime window seat.
But here's the thing, folks: it's not just about any window seat. No, my friend, we're talking about strategic seating, a skill that separates the seasoned Vegas veteran from the wide-eyed newbie.

| What Side Of Plane To Sit On Leaving Las Vegas |
The All-Important Question: Left or Right?
Let's cut to the chase. You want that glorious aerial goodbye, that Instagram-worthy "So long, suckers!" moment. And for that, my friends, the answer depends on where your post-Vegas adventure takes you:
Tip: Read once for gist, twice for details.
Heading West (California, Pacific Northwest): Left side is your lucky charm. You'll get sweeping vistas of the Mojave Desert, with a chance to spot Death Valley in all its desolate glory. (Bonus points if you can spot any abandoned shopping carts.)
Everywhere Else (East Coast, South, etc.): Buckle up on the right. This is your prime position for a farewell glimpse of the Las Vegas Strip, with all its glittering lights and questionable architectural choices.
Word to the wise: Don't underestimate the power of mother nature. Wind direction can sometimes affect takeoff and landing patterns, so there's always a bit of an element of surprise. But hey, that's Vegas, baby - all part of the thrill!
Beyond the Glitz: Alternative Scenic Views (Because Vegas Isn't Everything)
Let's be honest, sometimes you crave a view beyond the neon glow. Here are some alternative seating options for the adventurous soul:
QuickTip: Pause at transitions — they signal new ideas.
Lake Mead and Hoover Dam: If you're flying south or east, request a window seat on the left side for a chance to see this engineering marvel. Just don't get too mesmerized and miss your connecting flight.
The Grand Canyon (For the Super Ambitious): This one's a long shot, but some flights heading certain directions might offer a glimpse of the canyon's natural majesty. Aim for a window seat on the right for this rare view, but be prepared for a hefty dose of "maybe."
Remember: These are just suggestions, my friends. The true beauty of flying out of Vegas is the element of surprise. You never know what quirky sight you might encounter from your window!
