A popular area to watch airplanes land and depart near the border of McCarran International Airport is set to close temporarily as COVID-19 concerns continue.
The viewing area located off Sunset Road, just west of Eastern Avenue will close effective Wednesday, McCarran International Airport said on Twitter.
“To conserve resources and encourage social distancing, the Sunset Viewing Area will be closed until further notice beginning Wednesday, April 1,” McCarran’s tweet reads.
There was no announcement of when it will reopen.
Fun Fact: Janet Airlines has a large and highly classified fleet of passenger aircraft operated by the U.S. Air Force to transport military and contractor employees to the Nevada National Security Site (including Area 51) from a private terminal at McCarran. Some of the Janet planes are Boeing 737-600 aircraft painted white with a red stripe.
