Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Las Vegas to Fort Lauderdale. The right side delivers the more dramatic takeoff experience with the Las Vegas Strip and Red Rock Canyon, and during the cruise phase over the Gulf Coast and Florida peninsula the right (south) side can offer views of the Gulf of Mexico and Tampa Bay area. The left side wins at landing but the takeoff spectacle on the right is the highlight of this route.

During takeoff from Mc Carran International (LAS), sit on the Right side for the best views. McCarran typically departs southward on runway 26L/R or northward on 19L/R. On a southeast-bound departure toward Florida, aircraft often turn left (east) after takeoff, putting the Las Vegas Strip and downtown directly visible on the right side before the turn. The Spring Mountains and Red Rock Canyon escarpment are also clearly visible to the right (west) during initial climb. Notable sights include: Las Vegas Strip hotels and casinos, Red Rock Canyon escarpment (Spring Mountains), Lake Mead to the northeast, Hoover Dam visible in the distance.

When landing at Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International (FLL), sit on the Left side for the best views. FLL typically lands on runway 10L/R from the west, meaning the aircraft approaches from the west heading east. The left side faces north, giving views over Fort Lauderdale's Intracoastal Waterway, Port Everglades, and the Atlantic coastline. The right side faces south toward Miami, but the left provides the more dramatic coastal geometry with barrier islands and the port. Notable sights include: Port Everglades cruise terminal, Fort Lauderdale Intracoastal Waterway and barrier islands, Atlantic Ocean coastline, Fort Lauderdale Beach strip.

The flight from Mc Carran International (LAS) to Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International (FLL) takes Approximately 4 hours 15 minutes to 4 hours 45 minutes.

The route crosses the southwestern Arizona desert and Sonoran Desert, then over New Mexico or Texas depending on routing. The Mississippi River may be visible if routing goes through Louisiana. The Florida Panhandle and central Florida's lake district — including Lake Okeechobee, one of the largest freshwater lakes in the US and clearly visible from altitude as a large circular body of water — are notable features on the descent into South Florida.
