Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Las Vegas to Charlotte. The right side wins overall. The Las Vegas Strip and Spring Mountains at departure are genuinely spectacular, and across the flight the right side tracks closer to the southern Rockies and Colorado Plateau terrain over New Mexico and Arizona before transitioning to the Appalachian foothills. The left side has a slight edge at landing for Charlotte's skyline, but the departure and en-route scenery on the right is more consistently interesting.

During takeoff from Mc Carran International (LAS), sit on the Right side for the best views. Departing Las Vegas, aircraft typically use runways 26L/26R heading west, then turn south/east. The right side gives you a clear look at the Las Vegas Strip laid out below, plus the Spring Mountains rising sharply to the west. Left side faces north toward the valley suburbs with less drama. Notable sights include: Las Vegas Strip (resort corridor clearly visible), Spring Mountains/Mt. Charleston to the west, Lake Mead reservoir to the east as the aircraft turns, Hoover Dam visible at the southeast end of Lake Mead.

When landing at Charlotte Douglas International (CLT), sit on the Left side for the best views. Charlotte Douglas typically uses runways 18C/18L/18R for southerly arrivals or 36s for northerly. On approach from the west, the left side tracks over the Appalachian foothills and gives a clear view of uptown Charlotte's skyline as you descend. Right side faces away from the city center. Notable sights include: Uptown Charlotte skyline, Lake Norman reservoir to the north, Catawba River corridor, Crowders Mountain State Park to the southwest.

The flight from Mc Carran International (LAS) to Charlotte Douglas International (CLT) takes Approximately 3 hours 45 minutes to 4 hours 15 minutes.

The route crosses the Mojave Desert, then the Colorado Plateau and Four Corners region with canyon terrain visible in northern Arizona and New Mexico. Over Texas the terrain flattens to the Llano Estacado and then the rolling Cross Timbers. Entering the Southeast, the Ouachita and Ozark highlands give way to the Mississippi Alluvial Plain before the Appalachian Piedmont rises toward Charlotte.
