Henderson (HND) is a great place, friendly staff, nice modern facilites, great fuel price, just outside of bravo airspace and long runways but still tower controlled.
Takes forever to get a clearance to depart at McCarren. North Vegas isn't bad either. On May 15, 2013 5:11 PM, "David Yonak" <davidyonak@yahoo.com (davidyonak@yahoo.com)> wrote:[quote] Can anybody recommend an airport & FBO in the Las Vegas area ?

Also there is only one FBO at Henderson so you just let ground bring you in without worrying about the FBO standoff (2 follow me carts going different directions...aka- Cutter/Swift at PHX).

North Las Vegas has a tricky departure too. Plan ahead if you go there.

If you depart VFR you can just stay below 5,000' for a few mins then it's pretty much wide open and since the weather is almost always clear it's often easier to do that and pick up a clearance enroute.
