Wrong Las Vegas. The one in Nevada is 222 miles from Poenix. Takes a bit under 2
hours.

Where's the other one?

Las Vegas, NM. It's a convenient navigation point for trips from
Denver south (e.g. ABQ, Sante Fe-long route, etc).

Thanks! I lived out there for a year and didn't know.

Learn something new everyday!

Las Vegas, New Mexico (in the northern part of the state).
Definitely not as much fun as the one in Nevada.

Las Vegas NM.

I had a plane full of passengers (family friends) in a C-206 once on the way
to Las Vegas NV for a three day vacation. We stopped in LV NM for fuel.
When I was still busy with the airplane, before I came into the FBO, my
passengers thought it would be funny to walk into the flight office asking
where are the slot machines and announcing that their pilot (out there!)
told them that this was LV NV. I didn't think it was all that funny!

Sorry, but I thought that was hysterical!

I do have question about flying to Vegas from Phoenix. How long will
that take with a Cessna single engine?

FS2004 has all the aircraft performance information you need as well as
a flight planner.

Thanks, but I'm at the beginning stages of the simulator. Straight and
level flight.

Something to look forward to though.

Straight line distance from Phoenix to Las Vegas is 225 nautical miles. A
Cessna 172 can cruise at about 115 knots. Based on today's winds, it will
take you 2 hours and 20 minutes, not counting time to climb and traffic
delays. I think 2:30 would be a realistic estimate. Rental prices vary. In
our club, the 172 goes for $70/hr tach time. That is about $175 each way,
or round it up to $400 for a return trip.

I really don't know anything about flying, and at times am terrified on
a commercial airliner (something about turbulence...)

Anyway, I do enjoy flight sims and would like to work through the
FS2004 training and then move onto X-Plane. I know this isn't
realistic, but I will have a better understanding on how everything
works without the hairpulling.

I do have question about flying to Vegas from Phoenix. How long will
that take with a Cessna single engine? How much does it cost to rent a
plane for that kind of trip (rough estimate)?

Thanks.

Do you pay for the time you have the plane? For example, if I go to
Vegas for the weekend, am I charged for having the plane, in addition
to the flight time?

Just curious.
