EXPERIENCE THIS MORNING'S SURREAL SUNRISE OVER NEVADA'S DESERT, LAKE MEAD AND LAS VEGAS

In this Playlist of three successive videos experience flying into Las Vegas at the break of dawn.

The first video captures views over the Nevada Desert and its stunning terrain as the first rays of the morning sun illuminate the red rock formations that rise up from the desert's border. As the video continues the rays of light explode into a surreal sunrise magnificently lighting the sky in a curtain of color.

The second video continues the journey as the airplane gets closer to Las Vegas and the surreal colors of the sunrise are now seen over Lake Mead.

Finally in the third video the suburbs of Las Vegas come into view followed by the city's skyline with its iconic Sphere before the plane touches down for landing.
