Every show in Las Vegas flies under an airspace approval from the aviation authority for that site and slot, with a safety zone the crowd does not enter. Below: the shows, and what flying here takes.

What to know

Flying in Las Vegas: what to know

Airspace approval
Every show in Las Vegas needs an approval from the aviation authority for the exact site, date and time window. We apply for it. Near an airport or in controlled airspace it takes an exemption and more lead time, so start early.
Site survey
Our technical crew checks the take-off area, the safety zone between drones and audience, sightlines and the surroundings before we confirm. Parks, waterfronts and large open grounds in Las Vegas tend to work best.
Weather window
Drones fly in wind up to 25 mph (40 km/h) and cope with a few drops of rain. We plan a weather window and, where the event allows, a back-up slot. The pilot on site makes the final call.
Local partners
We coordinate with the venue, the local authority and, where needed, local production partners in Las Vegas so the show fits your run-of-show, your permit and your crowd plan.

FAQ

Drone shows in Las Vegas: questions

Can you fly a drone show in Las Vegas?

Yes. We have flown 4 shows in Las Vegas, up to 1,000 drones. Each one needed an airspace approval for the specific site and slot, a safety zone around the audience and a site check by our crew. Send us your venue and date and we tell you what it takes.

How long does a drone show in Las Vegas take to organise?

About a month for a known site. Longer if the site sits in controlled airspace or near an airport, or if the design needs several rounds. The permit, not the animation, usually sets the clock.

What does a drone show in Las Vegas cost?

There is no fixed price. The number of drones, the show length, the location and its permits, and the complexity of the animation set it. Most shows fall between 100 and 1,000+ drones. Read how drone show cost works or ask for a proposal.
