Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Las Vegas to Newark. The Manhattan arrival view on the left side is one of the most iconic urban approaches in aviation and edges out the Las Vegas departure. Across the flight, the left side also tracks closer to the Colorado Rockies and the Great Plains river systems, giving more varied scenery through the cruise phase.

During takeoff from Mc Carran International (LAS), sit on the Right side for the best views. Departing Las Vegas, most runways head south or north along the valley. A right-side seat gives you a clear view of the Las Vegas Strip stretching south, plus the Spring Mountains and Red Rock Canyon escarpment to the west as you climb out. The left side faces east toward Sunrise Mountain and the less dramatic desert fringe. Notable sights include: Las Vegas Strip (south), Red Rock Canyon escarpment, Spring Mountains (Charleston Peak at 11,918 ft), Lake Mead to the east visible on a right-bank turn.

When landing at Newark Liberty International (EWR), sit on the Left side for the best views. Arriving at EWR, aircraft typically approach from the southwest on runway 22L/22R or from the west on 29. A left-side seat gives you Manhattan's skyline, the Hudson River, Upper New York Bay, and the Statue of Liberty as you descend over New Jersey. The right side faces inland toward suburban New Jersey with no comparable landmarks. Notable sights include: Manhattan skyline, Hudson River, Upper New York Bay, Statue of Liberty on Liberty Island.

The flight from Mc Carran International (LAS) to Newark Liberty International (EWR) takes Approximately 4 hours 30 minutes to 5 hours.

After departing Las Vegas, the route crosses the Colorado River and the Grand Canyon region (visible to the north on clear days), then tracks over the Colorado Rockies including the San Juan and Sawatch ranges, the high plains of Kansas and Missouri, the Ohio River valley, the Appalachian ridges of Pennsylvania and New Jersey, before descending into the New York metro area
