Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Newark to Las Vegas. The left side delivers the spectacular Manhattan and New York Harbor departure, and across the mid-flight the left side also picks up the Colorado River corridor and portions of the Grand Canyon's south rim as the route tracks southwest. The right side landing view of the Strip is excellent but briefer. Left wins on total scenic value.

Notable sights include: Manhattan skyline, Hudson River, Statue of Liberty in Upper New York Bay, Newark Bay.

When landing at Mc Carran International (LAS), sit on the Right side for the best views.

The Strip is brilliantly visible at night or in daylight as you descend over the valley.
