Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Atlanta to Las Vegas. Right side wins both ends of the flight. During the cruise over the American Southwest, the right side also tracks closer to the Grand Canyon region and the Colorado Plateau's canyon country as the route passes through Arizona and Nevada airspace, offering better views of the red rock terrain below.

During takeoff from The William B Hartsfield Atlanta International (ATL), sit on the Right side for the best views. ATL's primary departure runways (8L/8R/9L/9R heading east, or 26L/26R/27L/27R heading west) mean westbound departures to LAS typically use the west-facing runways. On a westbound climb-out, the right side gives you a clear view south over the Atlanta metro sprawl, Stone Mountain to the northeast, and the Chattahoochee River corridor. Left side faces north toward downtown but quickly becomes less interesting as you climb. Notable sights include: Stone Mountain (distinctive granite dome to the northeast), Chattahoochee River corridor, Atlanta downtown skyline, Lake Allatoona to the northwest.

When landing at Mc Carran International (LAS), sit on the Right side for the best views. LAS arrivals from the east typically use runways 26L/26R (heading west) or 19L/19R (heading south). On approach from the east heading west, the right side faces north and gives you the Las Vegas Strip laid out clearly below, with the Spring Mountains and Red Rock Canyon escarpment visible to the west. Left side faces south toward Henderson and the less dramatic southern valley. Notable sights include: Las Vegas Strip (clearly identifiable casino towers), Spring Mountains and Charleston Peak to the west, Lake Mead and Hoover Dam to the southeast, Red Rock Canyon escarpment.

The flight from The William B Hartsfield Atlanta International (ATL) to Mc Carran International (LAS) takes Approximately 3 hours 45 minutes to 4 hours 15 minutes.
