Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Las Vegas to Cincinnati. The right side wins overall due to the spectacular Las Vegas valley and Red Rock Canyon views on departure, and while the left side is better for the Cincinnati landing, the takeoff scenery from the right is the highlight of this route. Across the mid-flight, the right side also tracks closer to the Colorado River canyon country and the Wasatch Plateau edges in Utah before the Great Plains flatten out.
