Las Vegas from Boise, Oct 16–18: $1,459 for two, all in
The verdict
Our verdict
Not worth it this week
- Frontier nonstop, 1h 54m, leaving Boise at 2:50 PM Friday
- Highs 81–82°F with a 0% to 1% rain chance
- Excalibur at $327 for 2 nights, rated 7.7 from 30,748 reviews
The catch: At $566 per person, the fare is above the $522 median of our earlier checks, and resort fees and a checked bag aren't in the total.
Worth it if Oct 16–18 is the only weekend you've got; skip it this week if your dates can move and you'd rather watch the fare.
Not worth it this week: the fare is running above what we've seen on this route. The whole trip is $1,459 for two: the flights at $1,132 plus 2 nights at Excalibur at $327, taxes and fees included, with resort fees and a checked bag extra. It's Oct 16–18, 2026, on a 1h 54m Frontier nonstop out of Boise.

Why now
Numbers first: $566 per person, or $1,132 for two, against a $522 median across 8 earlier checks on this route. The lowest we saw was $437 on Oct 13. That's why we're calling it not this week. Everything else lines up. The forecast for Oct 16–18 shows highs of 81–82°F, lows of 63–72°F and a rain chance of 0% to 1%. The flight is a 1h 54m nonstop that lands at 3:44 PM Friday, early enough for dinner and the Bellagio fountains that first night. You won't need a passport or new currency, and Las Vegas is 1 hour behind Boise. If your weekend is already set, $1,459 for two with the hotel is a fair price for a quick getaway. If it isn't, we'd keep an eye on the fare first.
The kind of trip this is
A fast-paced city weekend built on nightlife, food, shows and shopping, with desert scenery a short drive away. It suits a couple or a pair of friends who want to land Friday afternoon, stay out late and fit a show, a pool day or a canyon drive into one full Saturday. If you're after a slow, quiet trip, this isn't it.

Where to stay in Las Vegas

Excalibur is the best value and the one in our total: $327 for the 2 nights ($164 a night), 3 stars, rated 7.7 from 30,748 reviews, in a Royal Tower Two Queen Room. Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino is the top rated: 8.1 from 13,186 reviews, 4 stars, $542 for the stay ($271 a night), with the room type assigned on arrival. Circus Circus Hotel, Casino & Theme Park is the budget pick at $273 ($137 a night), rated 6.8 from 16,237 reviews. None of the three offers free cancellation, and all are room only. Center Strip puts you near Bellagio, Caesars and the Cosmopolitan. North Strip has Resorts World and Fontainebleau at calmer prices.

Questions readers ask
Is it worth it?
Not this week for most readers. The $566 per person fare is above the $522 median of our 8 earlier checks, and the lowest we saw was $437 on Oct 13. If Oct 16–18 is your only weekend, the nonstop and the 81–82°F forecast still make it a good trip.
How much is the whole trip for two?
$1,459 for two: $1,132 for the flights plus $327 for 2 nights at Excalibur, taxes and fees included. Resort fees, a checked bag and spending money are extra. Add our $520 spending estimate and the budget is $1,979.
Do I need a passport?
No. Boise to Las Vegas is a domestic trip, you'll pay in US dollars, and Las Vegas is 1 hour behind Boise.
What is the weather like?
The forecast has highs of 81–82°F and lows of 63–72°F. Friday and Sunday look clear, Saturday overcast, and the rain chance is 0% to 1%.
Is 2 nights enough?
For the Strip, yes. The flight lands at 3:44 PM Friday, so you get two evenings and a full Saturday for a show, the Bellagio fountains or the Red Rock Canyon scenic loop.
