Why go now
Frontier's nonstop is $243 per person round trip, $147 below the typical fare on this route ($390), a 38% drop. It's also the lowest in 30 days, and the fares we saw for these dates ran from $243 to $520. For two, the flights come to $486. Add the Horseshoe at $496 for both nights and a $520 spending budget, and the weekend comes to an estimated $1,502 for two. Late October suits it: the forecast shows 70°F Friday, 75°F Saturday and 77°F Sunday, with clear skies and a 0% chance of rain on the last two days. It also falls ahead of the November Grand Prix weekend. It's good for shows, food and a desert drive in one go. Prices change, so check the live fare before you commit.
The kind of trip this is
This is a city-and-nightlife long weekend: residency shows, big resorts, celebrity-chef dinners and late nights on the Strip, with the desert close enough for a morning drive. It suits couples and groups of friends who like a full schedule and don't mind staying up late. With two nights and a Friday afternoon arrival, the pace is quick: pick one show, one big dinner and one outdoor morning.
