North Las Vegas Airport (VGT)
North Las Vegas (VGT) is a medium sized, primarily general, business, and corporate aviation airport located in the city of North Las Vegas, just northwest of the Las Vegas strip. The larger Harry Reid International Airport is located 8 miles south, and Nellis Air Force Base 7 miles east. North Las Vegas has its own Class Delta airspace that underlies the larger Las Vegas Class Bravo. Pilots should make themselves familiar with the airspace and their requirements prior to arriving or departing the field. Being familiar with VFR reporting points found on the sectional chart is helpful for air traffic control. North Las Vegas tower commonly uses the Santa Fe Station Hotel and Casino, located on North Rancho Drive, for the sequencing of aircraft. If you are unfamiliar with this location, let the tower know and they will provide alternate instructions.
