Private jet airports in the state of Nevada

Made up largely of desert, Nevada is the driest state in the US, which is ironic given that it got its name from the Sierra Nevada mountains (Spanish for "snow covered mountain range"). Undoubtedly, Nevada's biggest attraction is Las Vegas. Boasting over 150,000 hotel rooms and suites, Sin City has more hotel rooms than any other metropolis on earth. In fact, the hotels in Vegas are so huge that 15 of the world's 25 largest hotels can be found there. The city also holds the title of the world's wedding capital, hosting over 100,000 weddings in hotels and drive-thrus each year. Whether you're traveling to Nevada for business, leisure or to get hitched, here's a list of the state's top private jet airports.

• McCarran International Airport serves casino capital of the world, Las Vegas. Located five miles outside the city's downtown district, it's the 27th busiest airport in the world.
• North Las Vegas Airport, located approximately three miles from downtown Las Vegas, is a quieter alternative to McCarran International Airport. Also known as Northtown, it's perfectly situated for all leisure and business private jet charters.
• Reno–Tahoe International Airport, situated three-miles southeast of downtown Reno in Washoe County, is the state of Nevada's second-busiest airport.
• Henderson Executive Airport, located 13 miles south of the Las Vegas CBD, boasts two runways. Due to lower slot constraints than Las Vegas McCarren Airport, it's the ideal landing spot when escaping to Las Vegas by private jet.
• Elko Regional Airport, situated just over one mile west of downtown Elko, and Boulder City Municipal Airport, located just over one mile southwest of Boulder City CBD, are two other airports in Nevada that can accommodate private jet charters.
