North Las Vegas Airport is quite the alternative to the active McCarran International of Las Vegas.& It is the second busiest airport in Nevada. There is a beautiful Memorial Park built near the Airport so visitors can picnic and watch planes take-off and land, plus they can tune into the radio and listen to the tower operations. There is a restaurant on-site, plus Grand Canyon Tour providers. There is a courtesy drop-off to downtown sites and lodging located on the strip, since NLVA is only six miles north of central Las Vegas. A quality airport indeed!
