Las Vegas from Austin, Oct 30–Nov 1: $990 for two, all in
The verdict
Our verdict
Worth it, if
- $363 per person, $86 below the typical fare on this route
- Harrah's at $236 for the stay, 7.9 from 10,363 reviews
- Highs of 73–76°F, good for the Strip and Red Rock Canyon
The catch: The $363 fare has one stop and takes 5h 22m, landing at 11:43 PM Friday, and a checked bag is about $240 for two, not in the total.
Worth it if a late Friday arrival works for a two-night weekend; skip it if you need a nonstop or plan to check bags.
Worth it if you're fine landing late on Friday: $990 for two covers the Frontier flights at $726 plus Harrah's Las Vegas, A Caesars Destination at $236 for 2 nights, with taxes, fees and the $28 resort fee included. You leave Friday, Oct 30 and come home Sunday, Nov 1, 2026, and the cheapest outbound has one stop and takes 5h 22m. Checked bags and spending money aren't in that total.

Why now
At $363 per person, this Frontier fare is $86 below the typical fare on this route. That's 19% under the $449 median of 15 earlier checks, and it's the lowest fare we've seen in 30 days. Across 12 offers we saw fares from $363 to $461 per person, so this one is at the bottom of that range. Late October is easy weather in Vegas: typical highs of 73–76°F and lows near 53°F under overcast skies, warm enough for the pool by day, with a light jacket for the fountains at night. If you'd rather skip the stop, a Frontier nonstop leaving at 12:58 PM was $746 for two and takes 3h 12m. Plan on about $520 for food and shows on top, which brings the weekend to $1,482 all told.
The kind of trip this is
This is a city weekend of food, shows and late nights, with the desert right at the edge of town. It suits a couple or two friends who want to pack a lot into two days: dinner, a show at the Sphere or Cirque, a few hours at a pool and maybe a morning drive to Red Rock Canyon. Expect a fast pace and short nights, two hours behind Austin.
