| - I love planes and flying and anything about aviation!! One of the first things I did since being in Vegas is to find a place to view planes on days I just wanna go "Plane Watching", not people watching. The sound of jet engine and aviation lingo turns me on a special high.
There is this place on E. Sunset Road just between Las Vegas Boulevard South and Eastern Avenue...where I can bring myself to sit and watch planes go by, as they arrive on the runway, as they taxi onto the airport or the runway, and as they leave taking-off into the vast sky. This is a great plane spotting and viewing area! Parking lot spaces available before a perimeter fence. Parking is not a problem if you get lucky to arrive into an open parking space. I would plan on spending a few hours with my favorite beverages and a meal. My camera and binoculars next to me on my carseat. I like taking photographs of the planes with the airport and Vegas' casinos as background. I would come close to the fence and point my camera lens in between the fence grids to shoot my picture when I don't want the fence in my shot. At night it is a nice sight with the flickering lights of Vegas and the planes seen in the horizon. Also, the sight of at least 5 or 6 planes like little beams of light "lined up" on the sky hovering as they wait for landing turns on the landing runways....is coool! The best part of it is hearing the drones of the jets engines which I love and I like listening to Air Traffic Control Tower's Communication through my car radio frequency on FM 101.1. Tune in to this station to monitor air traffic. Listening to pilots & air traffic controllers speak in aviation terms, with my car windows closed and my car radio volume on loud....awesome! "2-5-Right" or "2-5-Left" heard from the communications stands for planes landing or leaving from the runways (25R or 25L) along this planes viewing area. Amidst all these viewing and listening, I get my "relaxation time".
This Plane Spotting & Viewing Place is a not-so-famous place for locals and tourists alike, but famous place for people who are meeting friends or relatives at the airport like to stop by here to see the plane touching down on the landing field before they pick them at the airport. After all, Vegas is the hottest spot on earth to meet people from all over the world at every turn and see famous places from all over the world in one city! There is a green sign posted on the fence that I agree upon that is about feeding birds is an aviation hazzard. I like birds but not around jets & airplanes....so "please do not feed birds".
Pick your spot, take pictures or camera shots, take in the sight, relax, eat, dri nk, enjoy. Great place from sunrise to sunset, although viewing area is only open to people & cars from 5 a.m. to 1 a.m.
