FAA Part 107 Requirements
All commercial drone operations in Nevada require the pilot to hold an active FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate. Our network operators are verified Part 107 holders.
State Drone Laws
Nevada enacted AB 269 (2015), establishing the Governor Office of Economic Development UAS program and preempting local municipalities from regulating drone flight paths, airspace, or pilot licensing. SB 92 (2017) added privacy protections prohibiting drone surveillance of private property without consent and restricting weaponization. AB 487 (2019) further clarified that only the state may regulate UAS operations, preventing cities and counties from enacting their own drone flight restrictions. Nevada hosts major restricted military airspace including Nellis Air Force Base, Creech Air Force Base (home to MQ-1 Predator and MQ-9 Reaper operations), Naval Air Station Fallon, and the Nevada Test and Training Range — one of the largest restricted airspace complexes in the continental US. Commercial operators must hold a valid FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate. The state does not require a separate state drone license. Operators flying near military installations, the Nevada National Security Site, or tribal lands must coordinate with the controlling agency. Nevada desert terrain and extreme summer temperatures (frequently above 110 degrees in southern NV) significantly affect drone battery life and motor performance.
Local Ordinances
Paradise is an unincorporated town in Clark County and follows FAA Part 107 regulations. Under Nevada state law (AB 487, 2019), local municipalities cannot regulate drone flight paths. Paradise contains much of the Las Vegas Strip, which has dense pedestrian traffic requiring Part 107 compliance for flights over people. Harry Reid International Airport Class B airspace covers most of the area.
Restricted Airspace
- Harry Reid International Airport Class B airspace covers most of Paradise
- Nellis AFB restricted airspace (R-4806) to the northeast (distance)
- Las Vegas Strip resort corridor pedestrian traffic restrictions
Airports in the area: Harry Reid International Airport (LAS), North Las Vegas Airport (VGT)

Paradise, NV Aerial Imaging FAQs
Can I fly a drone over the Las Vegas Strip in Paradise?
The Las Vegas Strip in Paradise has the highest pedestrian density in Nevada. Drone operators need LAANC authorization for the Harry Reid International Airport Class B airspace that covers the entire area. Flights over people must comply with Part 107 rules. Resort properties have private security policies on drone overflights. The area is heavily monitored.
Is Paradise in Harry Reid Airport Class B airspace?
Yes. Paradise is directly under the Harry Reid International Airport Class B airspace. This is one of the most restrictive airspace environments in the country. LAANC authorization is required for all drone flights in the area. The Class B surface area covers most of the Paradise CDP, including the Strip and convention center.
What construction projects are driving aerial imaging demand in Paradise?
The Las Vegas Convention Center expansion, MSG Sphere, resort corridor renovations, and the Allegiant Stadium area development are the primary drivers. These mega-projects require ongoing construction monitoring, progress documentation, and aerial mapping. The density of large-scale construction projects creates sustained aerial imaging demand.
How does Paradise differ from Las Vegas for drone operations?
Paradise is an unincorporated CDP, not a separate city. It contains the Las Vegas Strip, the convention center, and much of the resort corridor. From a drone operations perspective, the airspace, regulations, and conditions are identical to Las Vegas. The Class B airspace is the dominant constraint in both areas.
Can I fly a drone near the Las Vegas Convention Center?
The Las Vegas Convention Center is in dense Class B airspace. During major conventions and trade shows (CES, SEMA, etc.), temporary flight restrictions may be issued. Drone operators should check NOTAMs during major events. The convention center area has high pedestrian traffic and security presence. LAANC authorization is required.
How does Paradise summer heat affect drone flying?
Paradise experiences the same extreme heat as Las Vegas, with summer temperatures frequently above 110 degrees. The urban heat island effect from concrete and asphalt can make the Strip corridor even hotter. Drone battery life and motor performance are severely reduced. Schedule flights for early morning hours and carry extra batteries.
