Las Vegas Municipal Airport

at Las Vegas Municipal Airport

From Donald Lambert on 17-Oct-2008

I stopped at KLVS on August 20, 2008. My experience was much the same that Travis Chevallier's had on 06 Oct. Lineman directed me to a pump and topped me off. I don't believe there is self-service fuel at KLVS. Flight planning computer was inop. That old telephone device worked. Minimal snacks available. I had a wicked caffeine withdrawal headache and there was no hot coffee. Fortunately there was a microwave to heat cold coffee. Nice folks. I was planning to fuel at KLVS on my way home on Labor Day. The NOTAM for the airport said, "no fuel." I suspect the airport was closed for the holiday and there was no self-service fuel.

Stopped overnight due to an approaching storm. Lineman suggested Plaza Hotel. The Plaza sent a car to pick us up (Holiday Inn Express would not.) No rental cars available on weekends without prior coordination. Gas truck was broke but lineman met us at self service pump and topped us off. Flight planning computer was inop but with a BlackBerry we seldom use them anyway. Minimal snack machine available. Nice folks. We'd go back for a gas and go and there are worse places to be stuck.

Stopped in for a fuel stop on cross-country. Very friendly staff and super fast turnaround. Thank You C-172

I landed at this airport @ 1 am... Not a single person was there to attend... I was low on fuel... Called on the number given in AF/D... The number was wrong... My personal advice not a good airport if u r looking for any service!!!!!

Fuel truck is out of service, but you can taxi to the "fuel farm" and they pump directly out of the tank. Only a minor inconvenience but the price is good

We were on our way west on Thursday 5/1707) and weather got bad and was getting worse so we stopped at LVS.. A nice young lineman helped us tie down. The lineman came in and helped us find a junker used car lot car to rent (cheap too). Nice fuel truck to fill w/ reasonable priced 100 LL the next day. Nice little airport that could really use a couple of rental cars or loaners and a bathroom in working order!!!

I landed at Las Vegas Municipal with the intentions of simply refueling however, the weather, which was already IFR continued to deteriorate. We made the decision to stay. The man working there was not keen on refueling our airplane, nor was he anxious to tie down our plane. We attempted to rent a car, but none were available. One of the motels that said they had free pick up, weren't interested in coming to get us. We asked the man working at the airport if he would bring us to the motel. He refused. He did inform us, however, that we had better get a ride by 5 PM, because he was going to leave and lock up the facility. Finally, the nice people at the Plaza Hotel agreed to come and pick us up. They also brought us back to the airport in the morning. It's a shame that the service couldn't have been better. I'd love to go back just to stay at the historic Plaza Hotel.

Landed Saturday afternoon. Had to go look for lineman, he was at another hangar. He took care of us quickly after being located.

A little used airport with adequate services. There were two line service people (assume city employees) who did their job, and seemed knowledgeable about lodging and rental cars. They suggested we stay in the historic Plaza Hotel. The Plaza is a beautifully restored 100+-year-old hotel with great service and good food. The hotel manager provided prompt and courteous airport transportation along with tourist tips. We spent one night, and enjoyed a self-guided historic walking tour of the city. The Chamber of Commerce office has much tourism info. The office is in the Amtrak train station next to an abandon Harvey Hotel. An excellent over night destination for a couple of flat-landers fliers.

Speedy, friendly, but expensive. I've thrown away my fuel stub, but it was well over $4/gallon for fuel.

Stopped with my son. ASOS didn't describe the work being done on RWY 2 but saw the "X" and landed 32. Once down I pulled my top cowl to adjust for high oil temps. Airport Manager was friendly and helpful, as he made a special trip to grab tools for me to borrow. Very nice experience at a neat and welcoming airport. I'll be back.

LVS line personnel prompt, friendly. Do NOT expect Express Rentals/MiaHumvee@Yahoo.Com to have a car if you have reserved with them- explanation why it wasn't here- I was too busy. They don't answer phones, either. Dead end. Got a ride from Plaza Hotel van.
 

From Jack Peters on 01-Jul-2006

I have been into KLVS a number of times and the service has always been good. This is a city owned FBO, so you don't get red carpet treatment, but they have always had fuel, chocks and chains and were there to be helpful. They jumped my airport car when the battery was dead and gave us water bottles, no charge. I have never been asked to pay any fee for tiedown. I am happy with their service.
 

From John Steinbergs on 06-Jun-2006

I spoke with a staff member this morning and the guy was very unhelpful. He couldn't provide me with any information at all. He couldn't tell me the hangar rental rate. He couldn't tell me the current schedule. He couldn't schedule anything unless it was the day before. He had never heard of my plane. I had very simple questions and felt like my business was much unappreciated, not to mention he was rude.
 

From Craig Kozak on 05-Mar-2006

Stopped here twice this week going to & from Carlsbad Caverns (a must see!) in our Dakota. Service was very prompt, attentive and friendly both times, and the price is quite reasonable, too. I'd highly recomend this FBO if you need a stop in central New Mexico.
 

From Tony Bavuso on 16-Feb-2006

Got grounded there due to an unexpected mountain blizzard on 2/10/06. The two guys working there were helpful the next morning in defrosting the plane and got me fueled and ready to go. They were nice folks and an easy going atmosphere with good facilities.
