REFLECTOR: Summer trip to Vegas

[Scott Derrick]

I've been going to Las Vegas in my V for 10 years.

20 years ago(before the V) I always went to McCarren, walking distance 
to the strip.  The FBO changed changed their tune 12-23 years ago, they 
don't like or want GA, unless you burn JetA and would drown in the rain.

Switched to North Las Vegas(VGT), they are friendly, reasonable tie down 
and fuel prices.  Nice Terminal but the restaurant has been closed for 
years.

A few years ago I switched to Henderson, because Vegas approach kept 
turning me into Nellis's airspace and Nellis would hang me up high 
before turning me over to North Vegas tower, it was irritating and added 
quite a bit of time. I don;t know why they don't want to use the 
published VFR arrival route from the east anymore?

Henderson's prices are about the same as VGT, and you can just duck 
under the class B cake and ignore approach, both from the east and the 
west. Nice Terminal...  They will come out with a van if you have a 
bunch of bags.

I've never rented a hanger, I do use a factory cover which covers the 
fuselage and keeps the interior a lot cooler.
