Reno to Las Vegas

DAY 8, LEG 45 - Reno to Las Vegas

From one of the smallest gambling cities we head to one of the biggest, Las Vegas.  Unfortunately our stop in Vegas doesn't last long enough for us to enjoy the sights from ground level, as we have to be in Beechcraft HQ in Wichita, KS, for the evening, but we have enough time to enjoy some of the sights en route!  The weather is forecast for a few clouds with the odd rain shower so hopefully it will hold out for us to enjoy the "strip".

Take-off Reno.

Over Reno VOR turning south.

Heading out over desert at FL190.

Routing around Mt Charleston to the northeast of Las Vegas.

The fountain of The Bellagio and the rest of the strip.

The Wynn hotel and casino.
