Las Vegas from Los Angeles, Oct 30–Nov 1: $697 for two, all in
The verdict
Our verdict
Worth it, because
- Frontier nonstop from LAX, 1h 17m, leaving 11:31 AM Friday
- $220 per person, $92 below the typical fare on this route
- Highs of 73–76°F, Harrah's rated 7.9 with free cancellation
The catch: A checked bag is about $240 for two and isn't in the total, which is more than half the $440 fare.
Worth it if you pack light and want shows, food and the Strip for one weekend; skip it if you need checked bags.
Worth it for the two of you: the whole trip is $697 for two, all in. That's the Frontier nonstop at $440 plus 2 nights at Harrah's Las Vegas, A Caesars Destination at $230 and its $27 resort fee, taxes and fees included, while a checked bag and spending money are extra. You fly out Friday, Oct 30 on a 1h 17m nonstop from LAX and come home Sunday, Nov 1, 2026.

Why now
The fare is $220 per person, $92 below the typical fare on this route, or 29% below typical. That typical figure is the median of 31 earlier checks we ran on this route, so it's a real comparison. Across 12 offers we saw fares from $220 to $273 per person, and this one is the lowest of them. The weather lines up too: typical highs for these dates run 73–76°F with lows near 53°F, warm enough for a dayclub afternoon and mild enough to walk the Strip at night with a light layer. It's a 225-mile hop with no time change, so a late-morning Friday departure lands you at 12:48 PM with the afternoon still ahead. Prices were all-in when we checked and can change, so take $697 for two as what we found, not a promise.
The kind of trip this is
A quick city-and-nightlife weekend: shows, big dinners, casino floors and a desert drive if you want some open air. It suits a couple or two friends who like a full schedule and a late night, and the short flight gives you two real evenings in town. It isn't a beach or quiet-nature trip, though Red Rock Canyon and the Hoover Dam are just outside the city.

Questions readers ask
Is it worth it?
Yes, for the two of you. The nonstop is 1h 17m, the fare is $92 below the typical fare on this route, highs run 73–76°F, and Harrah's is rated 7.9 with free cancellation. Just pack carry-on only if you can.
How much is the whole trip for two?
$697 for two, all in: $440 for the Frontier flights plus $230 for 2 nights at Harrah's and its $27 resort fee, taxes and fees included. Checked bags and spending money are not in it.
How much is a checked bag?
About $240 for two, and it isn't in the $697 total. That's the main thing to plan around on this fare.
What is the weather like?
Typical highs for these dates are 73–76°F with lows near 52–54°F, and the normals show overcast skies. Bring a light layer for evenings.
Is 2 nights enough?
For a weekend of shows, dinners and the Strip, yes. The flight is 77 minutes and lands at 12:48 PM Friday, so you get Friday and Saturday evenings plus a full Saturday for Red Rock Canyon or a pool.
Do I need a passport?
No. It's a domestic flight from Los Angeles to Las Vegas, with US dollars and no time difference.
