Most drone companies are one pilot and a marketing site. Productions find out which is which on the day.
Vegas production runs on compressed schedules built around residencies, fights and conventions, and the resorts each have their own approval chain on top of county permitting. A drone company here has to be as good at clearing the shot as flying it, because the window between load-in and showtime is where the whole job lives.
CineDrones has been a working aerial department since 2013, with the depth to put multiple units on a show and the insurance and permitting infrastructure a studio production office needs before it can hire you at all. We handle it end to end: airspace authorization, permits, the shoot itself, and delivery in whatever format post is expecting.
Clark County and the City of Las Vegas each handle their own film permitting, and the resorts are private property with their own approval chains on top of that. The Nevada Film Office coordinates statewide. A shoot that crosses from a resort property to a public right of way crosses a permitting boundary with it.
The Strip is roughly a mile from Harry Reid International, which puts the most photographed corridor in Nevada directly under Class B with LAANC grids that frequently read zero. Getting a legal aerial over the Strip is not a matter of opening an app on the day. It is coordination done in advance, and it is the single thing that separates crews who can shoot Vegas from crews who say they can.
We shoot the Strip, Fremont Street, Sphere, Allegiant Stadium, and the desert an hour in any direction — and we travel. CineDrones works nationwide, so if your production is basing in Las Vegas and shooting somewhere else entirely, that is a normal week for us.
