Las Vegas from Albuquerque, Nov 13–17: $896 for two, all in
The verdict
Our verdict
Worth it, if
- $127 per person on Southwest, $474 below the typical fare
- King Studio Suite rated 8.1 from 446 reviews, $161 a night
- Highs of 63–69°F for the Red Rock Canyon scenic loop
The catch: The $127 fare has one stop, takes 6 hours and leaves at 5:20 AM, and none of the three hotels offers free cancellation.
Worth it if you'll take a 5:20 AM start to save on the fare; skip it if only the 1h 40m nonstop will do.
Worth it if an early one-stop flight doesn't bother you: $896 for two, all in, which is the Southwest flights at $254 plus 4 nights at Candlewood Suites - Las Vegas - E Tropicana by IHG at $642, taxes and fees included. You'd go Nov 13–17, 2026, on a Southwest flight with one stop that leaves at 5:20 AM and takes 6 hours. Resort fees, a checked bag and spending money aren't in the total.

Why now
The fare is what makes this one: $127 per person round trip on Southwest, $474 below the typical fare on this route. That's a 79% gap, and it's the lowest fare we've seen on this route in 30 days. Add 4 nights at Candlewood Suites and the trip comes to $896 for two before you go. Resort fees, a checked bag and spending money are extra, and we'd budget $1,040 in spending money for the two of you. Prices are as we found them and can change. Mid-November is mild in the desert, with typical highs of 63–69°F and lows near 48°F, so it's comfortable for daytime drives to Red Rock Canyon or the Hoover Dam. A heads-up: the Formula 1 Las Vegas Grand Prix weekend falls in November, so check whether race weekend lines up with your dates before you book.
The kind of trip this is
This is a city getaway built around nights out: shows, food, casino floors and the neon Strip, with the desert close by for a quieter day. It suits a couple or a pair of friends who like a mixed pace, with late nights followed by slow mornings. It also works for people who'd like one day of open road at Red Rock Canyon or Valley of Fire between dinners and shows.

Questions readers ask
Is it worth it?
Yes, if you're fine with the early one-stop flight. The fare is $127 per person, $474 below the typical fare on this route and the lowest we've seen in 30 days. The weather is mild, with highs of 63–69°F.
How much is the whole trip for two?
It's $896 for two, all in: $254 for the Southwest flights plus $642 for 4 nights at Candlewood Suites, taxes and fees included. Resort fees, a checked bag and spending money aren't in it. We'd budget $1,040 for spending, which brings the full trip to $1,936.
Is there a nonstop?
Yes. Southwest has a nonstop that leaves at 9:05 PM and lands at 9:45 PM, a 1h 40m flight. It costs $204 per person, or $408 for two, and it isn't the fare in the $896 total.
What is the weather like?
Typical highs for these dates are 63–69°F, with lows near 48°F. Most days are overcast, and Nov 17 is partly cloudy. It's good weather for walking the Strip and driving out into the desert.
Do I need a passport?
No. It's a domestic trip, you'll pay in US dollars, and Las Vegas is 1 hour behind Albuquerque.
Is 4 nights enough?
Yes, for most people. Four nights covers a show, a night at the Bellagio fountains, an evening on Fremont Street and one day trip to Red Rock Canyon, the Hoover Dam or Valley of Fire.
