Las Vegas drone photography operates within Class B controlled airspace extending 30 nautical miles from Harry Reid International Airport, covering most of the valley including Henderson, Summerlin, and North Las Vegas. Professional drone operations require LAANC (Low Altitude Authorization and Notification Capability) approval before each flight, with authorization times ranging from immediate approval to several hours depending on location and requested altitude.
Additional restrictions apply near Nellis Air Force Base, affecting properties in North Las Vegas and eastern valley areas. The Las Vegas Strip and downtown corridor have specific limitations due to helicopter tour routes and special event airspace. Properties near Lake Mead National Recreation Area require National Park Service coordination for commercial drone operations.
Professional drone photographers handle all authorization requirements, maintain current Part 107 certifications, and carry appropriate insurance coverage. We coordinate flight plans in advance to ensure shoots proceed on schedule while maintaining full regulatory compliance. Agents receive copies of all authorizations and insurance certificates for HOA or property management requirements.
