Flights $402 + hotel $267 + resort fee $38, taxes in · a checked bag each adds about $200
Allegiant · nonstop · 1h 34m
The catch: A checked bag is about $200 for two and isn't in the $707, and the best-value hotel is by the airport, not downtown.
Worth it if you want a quick music-and-food weekend for two; skip it if you need warm weather or a hotel you can walk to Broadway from at this price.
