Las Vegas from Denver, Oct 16–18: $1,187 for two, all in
The verdict
Our verdict
Worth it, if
- Highs of 80–81°F and a 1% rain chance all weekend
- $430 per person on Frontier, $7 under the typical $437
- Excalibur on the Strip scores 7.7 from 30,743 reviews
The catch: The $430 fare has one stop and takes 9h 34m; the nonstop is $513 per person, and a checked bag is about $240 for two.
Worth it if you want a sunny Strip weekend for less; skip the cheaper fare if a 9h 34m one-stop trip eats too much of two nights.
Worth it if you can handle a long Friday of travel: $1,187 for two covers Frontier flights at $860 plus two nights at Excalibur at $327, taxes and fees included. The trip runs Friday, Oct 16 to Sunday, Oct 18, 2026, 2 nights. The $430 fare has one stop, and Frontier's nonstop was $513 per person.

Why now
The $430 per person fare sits $7 below the typical $437 on this route, about 2% under, based on 8 earlier checks. Add two nights at Excalibur for $327 and the trip comes to $1,187 for two, taxes and fees included, as found when we checked. A checked bag, any resort fee and spending money are on top. Mid-October is a good window for the desert: the forecast shows highs of 80–81°F, lows near 69°F and a 1% rain chance each day, so pool afternoons and the Red Rock Canyon loop both work. The Formula 1 weekend in November and the December rodeo crowds are still ahead. It's a couple or friends long weekend built around a show, good food and a night walk past the Bellagio fountains.
The kind of trip this is
A city-and-nightlife weekend: shows, big resort pools, late dinners and neon walks, with desert drives just outside town. It suits a couple or a pair of friends who want a fast, social pace and don't mind a full Friday of travel. With 2 nights, pick one show, one trip outside the city and leave the rest to the pool and the Strip.
