FBO of the Week: North Las Vegas Airport (VGT, Las Vegas, NV)
>>> AVWEB FUEL FINDER CURRENT PRICE FOR 100LL: $4.67 (up 3 from last week) CURRENT PRICE FOR JET A: $4.63 (up 5 from last week) Fuel prices provided weekly by AirNav, based on prices from the past 2 weeks. Changes are relative to last week's prices. /TEXT_ONLY--> AVweb‘s “FBO of the Week” ribbon goes to the FBO at North Las Vegas Airport (VGT) in Las Vegas, Nevada. AVweb‘s own Mike Busch has nominated these folks before, pointing out that “the same customer service people have been working there for as long as I can remember (zero turnover), so they really know what they’re doing.” In addition, Mike tells us, “The facility is very nice, and the avgas prices are always extremely competitive (particularly at the self-serve island close to the GA terminal). There’s a regular shuttle service that runs between the GA terminal and the hotels on the Strip.” So why is Mike so eager to have us make VGT’s FBO our “FBO of the Week”? Well, there’s this: About my only complaint is that there’s a restaurant up on the second floor of the terminal building with a lovely view of the airport, but they seem to have a hard time keeping it open. It has changed hands a number of times and keeps going out of business, which is a bummer. Maybe if VGT [is] the “FBO of the Week,” it’ll get so much new business that they can keep the restaurant open! One can only hope! Congrats to the folks at VGT for running such a tight operation. (Mike, bring us back a hamburger.) Keep those nominations coming. For complete contest rules, click here. AVweb is actively seeking out the best FBOs in the country and another one, submitted by you, will be spotlighted here next Monday!
