Why now
$283 per person round trip, nonstop. That's $170 below the typical fare on this route, or 38% under the $453 median of our earlier checks. It also carries the Lowest in 30 days badge, and across the 12 offers we saw, fares ran from $283 to $457. For two, the flights come to $566. Add 3 nights at the Candlewood Suites for $508 and $130 per person a day for spending, and the whole getaway comes to $1,854 for two. Early November is mild in the desert, with typical highs of 71–76°F and lows near 52°F, so you can walk the Strip at night and drive out to Red Rock during the day. It's a Thursday-night-to-Sunday trip built around shows, dinners and one long desert drive. Prices were all-in when we checked and can change.
The kind of trip this is
This is a city-and-nightlife long weekend: shows, big dinners, casino floors and a desert day trip if you want one. It suits couples or a pair of friends who like late nights and don't mind a quick pace. You land Thursday evening and fly home Sunday morning, so the trip runs on a tight schedule. With mild weather, you can mix the Strip with Red Rock Canyon or Valley of Fire.
