[ ] Las Vegas

Get the ATIS first, 118.05, tower is 125.7, ground 121.7, it helps if you
use approach control during the arrival but expect to be kept out of Class B
airspace if you are coming from the SW.. from the NE or E or SE you'll get
ClassB assist.. if from the SE.. then expect vectors to the approach end of
Rwy 25 at McCarran.. then heading 010 until cleared direct VGT.. Approach
control will tend to keep you above 3500MSL (above VGT ClassD) until the VGT
tower clears you down. Airport elev is 2200, pattern is 3000

Listen real closely to the controllers on freq.. tell them early if you are
not familiar with the airport.. they use a lot of local land marks.. things
get real busy real fast.. reply / repeat all clearances.. Rwy 12R/30L is
closed.. read back all taxi instructions.. if you are coming in late in the
day.. watch the winds.. more than one visitor not used to desert winds has
rolled up the aircraft into a ball beside the runway.. there is a lot of
training traffic, Grand Canyon sight seeing aircraft, helicopter traffic...
2nd busiest airport in the state.. Busier than Reno

where are you inbound from?
