Las Vegas Municipal Airport (IATA: LVS, ICAO: KLVS, FAA LID: LVS) is in San Miguel County, New Mexico, five miles northeast of Las Vegas, which owns it.[1]
Continental Airlines stopped there until around 1952, one DC-3 a day each way between Denver and Albuquerque, but LVS may not have seen an airliner since then.

The airport covers 1,300 acres (530 ha) and has two asphalt runways: 2/20 is 5,004 x 75 ft (1,525 x 23 m) and 14/32 is 8,198 x 75 ft (2,499 x 23 m).[1]
In the year ending April 11, 2006 the airport had 11,350 aircraft operations, average 31 per day: 97% general aviation and 3% military. 14 aircraft were then based at this airport: 86% single-engine, 7% multi-engine and 7% jet.[1]
