With ATP we flew a Seminole out of VGT (North Las Vegas) all the time and had no problem. A few weeks ago NJT916 and I flew a Cessna 172 out of VGT over the mountains towards Riverside, CA no problem.

Its pretty bad ass, when you leave VGT they will have you turn towards the stratosphere and fly on the north side of it, then have you fly down the strip, and fly over the approach end of the runway being used at LAS. Its an awesome view. Vegas approach is amazingly helpful.
