Hi all,
Has anyone used a people carrier ( Mercedes V class or similar size) thru the upper wing? I’ve seen a few vehicles struggle round that first bend at the barrier and just thought I’d ask the knowledgeable people on here before deciding what to do. I’ve seen the dimensions on the VA website but it doesn’t mention width at all. We are going to vegas next April for my hubby’s 60th, 9 family members in total, all upper and I’d love them to experience the drive thru, (they think they are going in economy) so this will be a surprise at the airport. I was hoping to book 2 MPVs but I’m a bit concerned they won’t fit.

Many thanks

I’ve taken my bmw x6 there a few times and when I’ve turned I’m able to reverse to get a better angle into the wing which you’ll be able to do easily enough

The last couple of time I've used Parker Cars, they have sent a large (possibly 7-8 seater as I didn't count?) Merc V 250 AMG Line for just me! Managed to get through OK by taking it nice and slowly.

Many thanks for the replies. That’s put my mind at rest, will be definitely booking 2 mpvs for our group now. Thanks again for the invaluable info as always
