Nellis AFB Crashpad — TDY lodging that feels like home

Why stay in a crashpad near Nellis AFB?
Nellis AFB, on the northeast edge of Las Vegas, is the home of the fight: the 57th Wing, the USAF Warfare Center, the Weapons School, and the RED FLAG exercise series. Thousands of aircrew, maintainers, and support personnel cycle through every year, and lodging is the perennial pain point. Our Silver State House — five bedrooms and five baths across 3,500 square feet — was set up specifically for crews and classes who want to stay together, brief together, and split the drive to the base.
