Summary

[edit]
Description

Taken from an overflight en route to Los Angeles.

McCarran airport can clearly be seen. the famous "strip" runs from left to right and is visible above the airport, as seen from this direction.

Downtown Las Vegas of off-picture to the right, above the aircraft's engine.

Aircraft: Airbus A380 operated by British Airways. We were almost overhead and I had to stand up to get the picture (fortunately there was space to do so).

If I had taken the picture at a shallower angle atmospheric effects would have greatly reduced the clarity. Even so, from 7.5+ miles up there still isn't great detail, unfortunately.
