Why go now
At $303 per person round trip, or $606 for two, this fare is $42 under the $345 median of our earlier checks on this route. That's 12% less, and the lowest we've seen in 30 days across 6 checks. The flight is a Frontier nonstop leaving O'Hare at 3:30 PM on Friday, Oct 16 and landing at 5:46 PM local time, so you're on the Strip by dinner. Mid-October also comes before the Grand Prix weekend in November and the rodeo and New Year's Eve crowds in December. The forecast shows clear skies all three days, with highs of 80–82°F, lows of 70–73°F and rain chances of 12% or less. That's warm enough for the pool by day and the fountains at night. These prices are all-in, taxes and fees included, as we found them, and they can change before you book.
The kind of trip this is
This is a city getaway built around food, shows, shopping and nightlife, with the desert right outside town. It suits a couple or a pair of friends who want a quick long weekend: land Friday evening, spend Saturday at a pool or on a drive to Red Rock Canyon, and see a show that night. You set the pace, and late nights are part of it.
