This will be my first time attending and really looking forward to it. Does anyone have any recommendations of where to stay and transportation as I will be flying in from Pennsylvania? Any other tips and suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

If you want to stay close to Nellis, East Craig Road, North Las Vegas has a good number of hotels and restaurants.
You will need a rental car as all parking for the show is at Las Vegas Motor Speedway where you will clear security then take a short bus ride onto the base.Make sure you know which parking lot you're in, otherwise you're in for a long walk in the dark.
I've been there in 2017 and 2019, and found security to be pretty friendly.
It's a fun show, for photos the light improves quite a bit later in the day.

Interestingly there are two sites and each has slightly different performers listed.

Ha, that is interesting and oddly both have the F-22 demo on the performer list, but neither have the F-22 demo no the schedule? I guess since its still like 3 months out I suppose it shouldn't surprise us.
