Las Vegas from Salt Lake City, Oct 23–25: $1,156 for two, all in
The verdict
Our verdict
Worth it, because
- Nonstop each way: out 9:28 AM Friday, back by 1:02 PM Sunday
- Horseshoe on the Strip scores 7.9 from 8,084 reviews, free cancellation
- Clear to partly cloudy, highs 71–78°F, rain chance 8% or less
The catch: The $348 fare matches the typical price on this route rather than dipping below it, and resort fees and a checked bag aren't in the total.
Worth it if you want a short Strip weekend of shows, food and pools; skip it if crowds and casino noise wear you out.
Worth it for the two of you: $1,156 for two, all in, with the nonstop flights at $696 plus 2 nights at Horseshoe Las Vegas Hotel & Casino - A Caesars Rewards Destination at $460, taxes and fees included. You fly Friday, Oct 23 and come home Sunday, Oct 25, 2026, nonstop on Frontier (F9). Resort fees, a checked bag and spending money are not in that total.

Why now
At $348 per person, the nonstop fare sits right at the median of our last 10 checks on this route. That makes it a fair price, not a dip, and it was down to $315 on Oct 12. What makes this weekend worth it is everything else. The best-value hotel on the Strip is $460 for the two nights with free cancellation. The forecast shows highs of 71°F to 78°F, lows of 60°F to 64°F and a 4% to 8% chance of rain. That's easy weather for walking the Strip at night and sitting by a pool in the afternoon. The morning flight lands at 9:57 AM local time, so Friday is a full day, and the Sunday flight home leaves at 10:23 AM. Two nights is enough for a show, a couple of good dinners and one desert drive.
The kind of trip this is
This is a city weekend built on nightlife, food and shows, with the desert a short drive away. It suits a couple or two friends who want to fill Friday and Saturday with dinners, a show and a late walk past the fountains, then be home Sunday by early afternoon. Nights move fast and afternoons by the pool move slow, and you pick the mix.

Where to stay in Las Vegas
We picked Horseshoe Las Vegas Hotel & Casino - A Caesars Rewards Destination as the best value: $460 for the stay ($230 a night), a 7.9 score from 8,084 reviews and free cancellation. That's the hotel in the $1,156 total. Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino is the top rated of the three at 8.1 from 13,193 reviews, for $565 for the stay ($283 a night), also with free cancellation. OYO Hotel and Casino Las Vegas is the budget pick at $273 ($137 a night) for a pool view double, but it scores 5.6 from 5,518 reviews and has no free cancellation. All three are room only, on the Strip. The Center Strip puts Bellagio, Caesars and the Cosmopolitan in walking range, and Downtown / Fremont Street has vintage casinos and the canopy light show.
