Las Vegas from Sacramento, Oct 16–18: $1,122 for two, all in
The verdict
Our verdict
Worth it, if
- $378 per person, $23 below the typical fare on this route
- Highs 80–81°F all weekend with a 1% chance of rain
- Excalibur is rated 7.7 from 30,757 reviews, $39 resort fee counted
The catch: The $378 fare has one stop and takes 3h 39m, landing at 11:17 PM, and a checked bag is about $240 for two.
Worth it if you'll trade a late Friday arrival for the lower fare; skip it if you want the 1h 36m nonstop.
Worth it if a one-stop flight doesn't bother you. The total is $1,122 for two, all in: flights at $756 plus Excalibur at $327 plus its $39 resort fee, with taxes and fees included. You fly out Friday, Oct 16 and come home Sunday, Oct 18, 2026 (2 nights) on Frontier with one stop, and checked bags and spending money aren't in that total.

Why now
When we checked, the fare was $378 per person. That's $23 below the typical fare on this route, or 6% under. We saw 12 offers, and fares ran from $378 to $569 per person. The weather works too. The forecast shows highs of 80–81°F, lows of 60–69°F and a 1% chance of rain each day, so it's warm enough for an afternoon at the pool and mild enough to walk the Strip at night. October also misses the season notes we track for Las Vegas: the Formula 1 Grand Prix weekend in November and the December rodeo and New Year's Eve crowds. It's 387 miles from Sacramento with no time change, so it fits a two-night getaway. Prices can move, so take these as the prices we found, not a promise.
The kind of trip this is
This is a city-and-nightlife long weekend: shows, resort pools, late dinners and the fountains after dark, with desert drives just outside town. It suits a couple or a pair of friends who like busy evenings and slow mornings. The flight lands late Friday, so make Saturday your full day and keep Sunday loose for a pool or a short drive before you head home.

Where to stay in Las Vegas
Excalibur is the best-value pick and the hotel in our total. It's $327 for 2 nights ($164 a night) in a Royal Tower Two Queen Room, rated 7.7 from 30,757 reviews, with the $39 resort fee counted. It doesn't offer free cancellation. The top-rated option is Jet Luxury at The Signature Condo Hotel: $471 ($236 a night) for a Deluxe Studio, rated 8.6 from 3,286 reviews, with free cancellation and $56 in fees paid at the property. On a tighter budget, Circus Circus Hotel, Casino & Theme Park is $213 ($107 a night), rated 6.8 from 16,239 reviews, plus $25 at the property. All three are on the Strip. Center Strip puts you near Bellagio, Caesars and the Cosmopolitan, and Downtown / Fremont Street has vintage casinos and the canopy light show.
