Places to go around Las Vegas

We will be in Las Vegas in February. We rented a Cessna 172 last year and
did the Hoover Dam, Lad mead, Grand Cayon thing. Where do we go this
year? Are there any good $100 (or more) hamburger destinations nearby or
other sights we should see?

Zatatime,

I'll second the recommendation for West Air at VGT. A solid outfit.

What are these places requirements for renting in the Vegas area? just
proof of time in type (logbook), or a checkout, or what?

John,

have a look at the website, www.westairaviation.com, I think. Normal
checkout and some time requirements for the more complex aircraft.
Standard stuff.

normal check out, many just hire the CFI for the trip if it's only a one day
rental... and do you have experience in high density altitude (summer),
mountain flying? and high winds.. 25G36 here today..

Fly south down the river to Bullhead City AZ (short flight) and take the
river taxi over to Laughlin Casinos for Lunch.. and one of the casinos has a
nice antique car museum..

Fly to the Airport south of Grand Canyon and go through the aircraft
museum... I'll go look up the information if you need it, I think there is
lunch on the airport somewhere

Fly over to Mojave and go through Burt Rutan's stuff.. want to see Space
Ship One and the White Knight?

Fly down to Sendona AZ, About 1+30 in an Arrow, so maybe a tad longer in a
C-172.. great airport restaurant and fantastic views of the Sedona Hills

BT

Of course.. if in early February.. I'll be in Ontario CA for the Soaring
Convention.

KSEZ ... (Airport is up on a mesa overlooking the city. Funky, eclectic,
aviation- saturated restaurant turns into very good & classy dining in the
evening.)
