If you have any questions about the airport or the stream, please read the FAQ below first.
Frequently asked questions (FAQ):
Is this live? Is it real?
Yes, this is a real, live view of the airport.
When do you stream? When is flight tracking active?
We're here streaming every day. Flight tracking (where the camera zooms in and follows the planes as they come in for a landing) starts a couple hours after sunrise and ends late at night. At night and in the early morning hours, the system goes into night mode where the camera is either stationary or roaming slowly around the airport.
Where are the cameras located?
At the top of the Eiffel Tower at Paris Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas. Or maybe not. (It's an undisclosed location near the airport.)
Who's running the camera?
It is an automated camera system controlled by a program almost all of the time.
Why don't you have a host talking to us?
Voice-over commentary is mostly unnecessary because flight information is displayed on the screen. Also, any commentator would have to talk over the air traffic control audio. Many of our viewers prefer listening to ATC without interruption.
How do you get the air traffic control audio?
It comes from a radio scanner. We scan the tower frequencies that are active at this airport.
Is this legal?
Yes. In the US it is legal to listen to air traffic control. It's also legal to show events at the airport that are visible to the public.
What cameras/equipment/software do you use?
It's a proprietary system we developed. No further details are available.
The video looks blurry. Help?
Sometimes TH-cam automatically downgrades the video quality of your stream to save bandwidth. Check your TH-cam settings (the little gear icon in the video window) and make sure that the maximum resolution (720p) is selected.
How long have you been doing this?
We started streaming in November 2021 and have been online almost every day since then.
How busy is this airport?
In 2022, Las Vegas was the 5th busiest airport in the world by the number of takeoffs and landings, though it ranks lower in passenger volume. (aci.aero/2023/...)
What airplanes will I see here?
In Las Vegas we see lots of these aircraft: Boeing 737, 757, 767, Airbus A319, A320 and A321.
We also see some of these aircraft: Boeing 787 Dreamliner, Boeing 777, Airbus A330, A340, A350, Embraer, Dassault Falcon.
We only occasionally see a 747 during daylight hours.
Do you show any Airbus A380s?
No. They do not come to Las Vegas, unfortunately.
Why isn't this airport called McCarran anymore?
The airport's official name changed to Harry Reid International Airport at the end of 2021.

The air traffic controllers talk fast and are hard to understand. Help?
Air traffic control can be hard to understand until you become familiar with it. One tip that can make the controllers much more understandable is to slow the stream down to 0.75x speed in your TH-cam settings.
