I wanted to share my droning experience for my trip to Las Vegas, Nevada.
Besides taking some nice video/pics, I had two concrete droning goals:
1) Do nothing illegal
2) Not bother other vacationers

The second goal was relatively easy - just drone where there is nobody around. The first goal was significantly harder.
Places you cannot fly:
Near airports (of course)
  - There are lots of airports around Nevada - not just the big ones, but many smaller ones for air tours.
- Las Vegas itself is a no-fly zone do to it's major airport
National Parks
- Zion, Grand Canyon (Arizona), Lake Mead/Hoover Dam
State Parks
- Need special permission to fly in Nevada State Parks (this might be new)
- Valley of Fire is a State Park (and has a sign that says no droning at the entrance)
Military Bases
- There are airforce bases around these parts (one guide I was talking to said that F-16s have been deployed for people droning where they are not supposed to)

In order to not fly illegaly, I did a lot of research. I used http://knowbeforeyoufly.org/for-recreational-users/ quite a bit as well as UAV app, and B4UFLY app. In addition I visited forums here and wesites for many of my destinations.

In the end, was it worth bringing a drone (Mavic Air)? Yes.
Although I couldn't fly in many of the main attractions, I could fly near them - outside of their boundries - and other beautiful areas. The desert scenery and mountains are simply spectacular.

Colors are amazing:

Hi there, nicely done! Thanks for sharing.

Great shots

Amazing pics, very nice landscape. Thanks for sharing

The Gestapo ruined Lake Meade area when they turned it into a National ''Recreational Area'', installing Toll boths.    

Used to be a nice leisurely late night drive.  Especially when looking for hidden Submarine base.

Military Bases
  - There are airforce bases around these parts (one guide I was talking  to said that F-16s have been deployed for people droning where they are  not supposed to)

If guide is right, then talk about a BIG waste of money.  Send MP's in a 4x4, or send in a military drone.

Where was last picture taken at?

That was on the way up to Charleston Mountain.

I was wondering if it was.  Been a long time since I made that drive.  
Remember seeing snow on Mt. Charleston in early June (late May) while burning up working down town at LVCC.  

Great shots..
