Las Vegas from Minneapolis, 23 – 25 Oct: £740 for two, all in
This page’s text is in English for now; a translation is on its way.
The verdict
Our verdict
Worth it, because
- Nonstop on Frontier, 3h 29m, leaving MSP at 12:10 PM
- $243 per person, $147 below the typical fare on this route
- Clear skies Saturday and Sunday, with highs of 75°F and 77°F
The catch: A checked bag is about $240 for two and isn't in the $982 total, and neither is any resort fee the hotel charges.
Worth it if you want shows, big dinners and pool time on a quick weekend; skip it if you're after a quiet, slow getaway.
Worth it for the two of you: $982 for two covers the flights at $486 and 2 nights at Horseshoe Las Vegas Hotel & Casino - A Caesars Rewards Destination at $496, with taxes and fees included. You fly nonstop on Frontier from Minneapolis on Friday, Oct 23 and come back Sunday, Oct 25, 2026. Resort fees, a checked bag and spending money aren't in that total.

Why now
When we checked, the fare was $243 per person, $147 below the typical fare on this route, and it carries our Lowest in 30 days badge. That's 38% under the $390 median of our earlier checks. Across the 12 offers we saw, fares ran from $243 to $520 per person. The forecast for Oct 23–25 is easy desert weather: 70°F and overcast on Friday, then clear skies with highs of 75°F and 77°F, lows of 57°F to 64°F and a rain chance of 3% or less. Late October also comes before the November Grand Prix weekend and December's rodeo and New Year's Eve crowds. The 12:10 PM departure lands at 1:39 PM local time, so you still get Friday afternoon there. All three hotels we picked offer free cancellation. Prices change, and these are the ones we found when we checked.
The kind of trip this is
This is a city-and-nightlife long weekend: shows, big dinners, an afternoon at the pool and the neon after dark, with the desert a short drive away. It suits a couple or two friends who like a full schedule and late nights. You can still slow down with a canyon drive on Saturday morning. With 2 nights, expect a quick, busy pace.
