If you need to overnight here use the Super 8. Great people the go above and beyond for service. Tempur-pedic beds, free hot soup at night and a good breakfast. Pick-up and return to the airport free.

I had to make an unscheduled stop in KLVS. Even though it was more expensive than at my destination I filled up. Back at my plane I looked at my receipt and it indicated 26.7 gallons. Shocked of the amount, I fired up my AFS and sure enough 18 gallons used. I checked the fuel drains and both were not leaking and never have. The computer has never been wrong. I explained the mistake to the attendant and he blamed me stating my tanks were not full when I left Grand Junction. They were most definitely full. I did a complete preflight as most do when they will be flying over the mountains. To burn 26.7 gallons in 1.75hrs I would have been burning over 15.5 gallons/hour. At 13, 500ft in a fuel injected 0-360, I do not think it is even possible. After explaining this to him he remained convinced that I was trying to rip him off. I was furious. I bet the person who filled up before me got exactly the amount of fuel that I wrongly charged for. The airport manager will not return my phone call.

Make sure you call ahead. They are not there at published times on wall. Cell service was not adequate with AT&T. Transportation must be arranged ahead. Do not drop in counting on this airport for gas or fuel service. Nice people and fuel service when they are there. After hours number during working hours did not work for me. Make sure you have fuel to get elsewhere if they are not there.

Came here once in October 2009 and again in mid August 2010. On both trips was impressed with the airport (no FOD) and in August saw a new seal coat on the ramp. Stayed at the Plaza (very nice, and they picked me up at the airport) ate at Charlie’s Spic & Span, wonderful food and went inside a bunch of nice shops in downtown area. A tad high altitude on a warm summer day for my little Cessna but I got airborne off the long runway and flew west over the mountains with room to spare. Overnight parking fee I didn't know about, so be prepared.

Much more than we expected for a tiny dot in the middle of the desert. A rough little airport that the National Guard (and others) use for approach practice, but the staff (John, I think) could not have been friendlier. Topped the plane off before we had even made it inside to the AC. The place is kept neat and clean and everything was in working order. I've been in much worse and paid much more for gas. After some of the comments posted on AirNav, this was a relief.

Would like to extend a very positive review of KLSV. While stranded there pending hurricane like weather the airport staff bent over backwards to help us out in obtaining access to food, flight planning equipment, and ultimately a hotel. While limited in what airport facilities exist they more than willing to offer us whatever they could to help us out to include even hangaring our airplane for free so we would not get frost. A very good place to be and will be interested to see this airport grow into a lively weekend fly spot. P.S. If stuck stay at the Plaza Hotel cheap cheap rooms and literally 4 stars or better very awesome staff and free rides to and from the airport. Sincerely, AZ Flyers

On behalf of the crew of Coast Guard 6512, I would like to extend our gratitude for the support we received from John at the KLVS FBO after having to divert from our flight plan to there for an in-flight emergency. Though services are limited (temporarily no Jet-A, minimal facilities), John went out of his way to do everything he could to help us and make us feel at home, from car rentals to hotel & restaurant recommendations to making hangar space available for us when a snow storm kept us here even longer after we completed our maintenance; coffee was always available and hot after we arrived and when we came in to complete our maintenance; he worked diligently to try to get the Jet-A fuel truck maintenance expedited prior to our departure; he even gave up his desk to allow us to complete our flight planning with the only computer at the FBO. It's rare to find this level of willing support, especially when resources are lacking. I'll definitely stop by next time I fly through here!

Deserted location after 5PM. No ride into town to get a bite to eat. No restrooms after 5PM. Pizza Pro 454-4040 delivered, as I was willing to give a decent tip to the driver. Notams say NO FUEL according to ABQ Approach.

We called ahead before leaving Independence, Kansas to make sure that someone would be available for a quick turn fuel purchase. We told them when we would arrive and even called UNICOM, 20 minutes out and no one answered. After arriving at your airport, no one was there so we didn’t cut engine power. After waiting 20 minutes and about to depart for KABQ, someone arrived by vehicle and fueled the airplane. When we went to pay, they would not accept our credit card and would only take cash even though there was an active credit card machine on the counter and clearly posted signs of credit card acceptance. Fortunately between the 3 of us on board, we were able to come up with the cash and after paying; the lineman did not want to give us a receipt for our purchase.
