London to Las Vegas flight path: LHR to LAS

Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from London to Las Vegas. The right side strings together the flight's best moments: a parting glimpse of Windsor Castle on departure, a higher-latitude cruise track that skirts southern Greenland's ice cap and the Canadian Shield's lakes and forests, and a final approach that delivers the Las Vegas Strip in full view. The left side spends most of the flight over open ocean or featureless prairie with no comparable landmarks.

During takeoff from Heathrow (LHR), sit on the Right side for the best views. On the common westerly departure from LHR, the climb-out and early turn give right-side passengers a brief look back over Windsor Castle and the Thames Valley before the route tracks out over the Cotswolds and the Bristol Channel toward Wales. The left side mostly shows unremarkable Berkshire and Hampshire farmland. Notable sights include: Windsor Castle, River Thames, Cotswold Hills, Bristol Channel/Welsh coast.

When landing at Mc Carran International (LAS), sit on the Right side for the best views. Arrivals into Las Vegas landing westward on 26L/26R approach from the east over Lake Mead and Henderson, passing just south of the Strip so the casino towers line up on the right side of the aircraft during final descent. The left side mostly faces empty desert basin during this same segment. Notable sights include: Las Vegas Strip skyline, Lake Mead, Spring Mountains, McCarran/Harry Reid airfield approach.

The flight from Heathrow (LHR) to Mc Carran International (LAS) takes 10h 55m.
