Vegas tips

Hi Folks,

I'm off to Las Vegas at xmas/new years, I'm looking to do a wee bit of aerial touring and I'm after some up-to-date advice from the veterans.

Can anybody recommend a rental outfit in the vegas area? I'll prefer a C172 (high wing is better for sightseeing), but nothing can be ruled out. I've come across Westair at North Las Vegas has anyone experienced these?

I'm looking for a four seater as I'm meeting friends and they want to sightsee around the area. They all want to see the Grand Canyon, but the 6,000ft+ field elevation and the above ISA conditions even in Dec/Jan make me cringe in my little C172. I'm considering Grand Canyon West (1G4) as its only (!) 4,000ft and closer to Vegas as a little trip - has anyone dropped in here before?

Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Cheers,

Gareth.

PS. I've already got my FAA PPL issued on the back of my UK one, with a current BFR and my visa and everything is in order.
