Taking off from Las Vegas w/Virgin Atlantic

Taxi for take off runway 25R at McCarran International airport. Virgin Atlantic flight 44 to Gatwick. "Pretty Woman" G-VROY. This video was taken from seat 55K, taken on 12 May 2009.

Sorry for shaking the camera, it was tremendously rough for the first 10-15 minutes of the flight. What do you expect taking off from Vegas? lol

The in-flight entertainment wasn't working for a good amount of seats on the plane (including mine). It was a long, tiring, boring flight. Up until the approach to Gatwick :-)

Note the FedEx A300 landing on 25L.

@daviesadam23 There is things for kids to do in Vegas, most people associate it with gambling, strippers and alcohol which is a big part of Vegas but its not all of it :)
