Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Las Vegas to Denver. The right side wins at takeoff for the Strip view, but the left side delivers the more sustained and dramatic scenery — the full Rocky Mountain Front Range panorama on descent into Denver is one of the most spectacular approaches in the continental US and lasts 20-30 minutes. Left side also captures the Colorado Plateau canyon country mid-flight.

During takeoff from Mc Carran International (LAS), sit on the Right side for the best views. McCarran's primary departure to the northeast (runway 19L/R departures heading north, or 26L/R heading east) puts the Las Vegas Strip directly on the right side as the aircraft climbs out northward. You get a clear overhead view of the Strip's hotel corridor before banking east toward Colorado. Notable sights include: Las Vegas Strip hotel corridor, Fremont Street area downtown, Lake Mead to the east, Hoover Dam visible in the distance.

When landing at Denver International (DEN), sit on the Left side for the best views. Denver International sits on the plains east of the Rockies. Arriving from the southwest on runways 34L/R or 35L/R, the left side faces west and gives a sustained panoramic view of the entire Front Range — from Pikes Peak in the south to Longs Peak in the north — as the aircraft descends over the plains. Notable sights include: Front Range of the Rocky Mountains, Pikes Peak (14,115 ft), Longs Peak, Denver city skyline against the mountain backdrop.

The flight from Mc Carran International (LAS) to Denver International (DEN) takes Approximately 1 hour 45 minutes to 2 hours.

The flight crosses the Arizona Strip and southwestern Utah, passing over the Grand Canyon's North Rim area, the Vermilion Cliffs, and the Colorado Plateau's canyon and mesa terrain. Over western Colorado, the San Juan Mountains and the Uncompahgre Plateau are visible before the terrain flattens into the Denver Basin.
