Las Vegas Airport (IATA: LCF, ICAO: MGRD) is an airport 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) east of Río Dulce, a village in Izabal Department, Guatemala.

The airport is on the east side of the Dulce River, which connects Lake Izabal and Lake El Golfete. No main roads connect the airport with the town, but it has good access from the river. West approach and departure are over the water.

The Puerto Barrios VOR-DME (Ident: IOS) is located 21.9 nautical miles (40.6 km) east of the airport.

The village and lakes are a popular vacation and retirement location.

Editorial summary

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Río Dulce Airport” as guatemala. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.

Editorial reviewA dependable orientation record for establishing vocabulary, names and a first evidence trail. The current 96-word lead offers orientation but no explicit four-digit date, so chronology should not be assumed. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. The account is most persuasive where Dulce, Airport and Guatemala can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as guatemala. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 7, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q21974328. Authority coordinates are 15.668, -88.961. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank.

Critical limits

A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
