Why now
$198 per person, all-in, is $39 below the typical fare on this route, which is the $237 median of 17 earlier checks. That's 16% under, and it has the Lowest in 30 days badge. We saw 12 offers on this route, running from $198 to $357 per person, so this fare is the lowest of the bunch. The timing suits a weekend: the nonstop leaves SFO at 10:19 PM on Friday, Oct 23 and lands at 12:03 AM, so you can still work your Friday. Late October also comes a few weeks before the Formula 1 Las Vegas Grand Prix weekend in November, and the forecast shows highs of 73–76°F with rain chances of 10% or less. It's a good fit for shows, big dinners and a desert drive. These prices are what we found when we checked, and they can change.
The kind of trip this is
This is a city-and-nightlife long weekend: shows, big dinners, a casino floor or two, plus a desert drive if you want some fresh air. It suits a couple or a pair of friends who don't mind landing late on Friday and having a full Saturday. You set the pace, but with two nights you'll want to pick a few things and do them well.

Questions readers ask

We found $198 per person round trip, all-in, which is $396 for two. That's on Frontier, nonstop from SFO to LAS, and it's 16% under the $237 median of earlier checks on this route. The price is what we found when we checked, and it can move.
What time does the flight leave?
The outbound leaves SFO at 10:19 PM on Friday, Oct 23 and lands in Las Vegas at 12:03 AM on Saturday, after 1h 44m in the air. The next nonstop we saw left at 2:17 PM, but it cost $279 per person.
Do I need a passport?
No. It's a domestic trip, you pay in US dollars and there's no time difference, so your phone clock stays the same.
