The verdict
Our verdict
Worth it, if
- Breeze nonstop, 3h 35m, at $378 per person
- $231 per person below the highest fare we saw for these dates
- Hilton Garden Inn rated 8.3 from 1,365 reviews, free cancellation
The catch: The nonstop leaves Las Vegas at 11:25 PM and lands at 5:00 AM, and late October is still hurricane season in New Orleans.
Worth it if you can sleep on a red-eye and want a food-and-jazz weekend; skip it if you need a full night's rest first.
Worth it if you can handle a red-eye: $1,284 for two, all in, with the Breeze nonstop at $756 plus 2 nights at Hilton Garden Inn New Orleans Convention Center at $528, taxes and fees included. The trip runs Friday to Sunday, Oct 23–25, 2026, and the nonstop from Las Vegas takes 3h 35m. A checked bag, any resort fee and spending money aren't in that total.

Why now
$1,284 for two covers the round-trip nonstop at $756 and two nights at Hilton Garden Inn New Orleans Convention Center at $528, taxes and fees included when we checked. The fare is $378 per person, $231 below the highest fare we saw for these dates, a 38% gap across the 12 offers we looked at. The forecast for Oct 23–25 shows overcast skies, highs of 84–88°F and a 16% to 26% chance of rain, warm enough for long evenings outside on Frenchmen Street. The heads-up: this is still hurricane season, so check the forecast before you go. Not in the total: a checked bag at about $160 for two, any resort fee, and spending money, which we'd put at $520 for the two of you. It's a short, full weekend built around eating and music.
The kind of trip this is
A quick city weekend built around food and music: beignets, gumbo, live jazz and late nights in old neighborhoods. It suits a couple or two friends who like to walk, eat and stay out, and who don't mind arriving on a red-eye. The pace is full but loose, with a museum or a streetcar ride filling the daytime between meals.

Questions readers ask
Is it worth it?
Worth it if a red-eye doesn't bother you. You get a 3h 35m nonstop at $378 per person and a hotel rated 8.3 with free cancellation. The trade-off is the 11:25 PM departure, a 5:00 AM arrival and a hurricane-season date.
How much is the whole trip for two?
$1,284, all in: $756 for both round-trip fares plus $528 for 2 nights at Hilton Garden Inn New Orleans Convention Center, taxes and fees included. A checked bag runs about $160 for two, and resort fees and spending money are extra.
What is the weather like?
The forecast shows overcast days with highs of 84–88°F and lows of 67–75°F. The chance of rain sits between 16% and 26%. It's hurricane season, so check again before you leave.
Is 2 nights enough?
For a food-and-music weekend, yes. You land Saturday, Oct 24 at 5:00 AM, so you get a full Saturday for the Quarter, the streetcar or the WWII museum, plus Saturday night on Frenchmen Street.
Do I need a passport?
No. It's a domestic trip, so you won't need a passport, and you'll pay in US dollars. Just remember New Orleans is 2 hours ahead of Las Vegas.
