Cheap Flights To Las Vegas

About Las Vegas

While Las Vegas is known for glitter and gleam, for the spin of the roulette wheel and the clink of the slots, there is much more to this city of just over 500,000 residents. Taking advantage of one of the many available cheap flights to Las Vegas is a great way to see what lies beyond the casino walls. Visitors arrive at McCarran International Airport (LAS), greeted by, in addition to the standard airport services, the sounds of the slot machines, a play area for children, a museum, an art gallery, and more.

Famed for casinos and entertainment, Las Vegas is also home to a variety of other attractions. Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area is just one of many area parks, perfect for hiking and viewing the natural beauty of the region. Grand Canyon Tours offers walking tours and Sundance Helicopter provides incredible air tours. Madame Tussaud's Wax Museum, local zoos and area amusement parks are also among tourist favorites. Kid's Quest is a playground and daycare center catering to tourists, allowing vacationing parents a little time for themselves.

Local colleges include the University of Nevada School of Medicine and Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts Las Vegas, and between the needs of tourists, students, and residents, a quite efficient mass transit system has evolved. Cheap hotels in Las Vegas are typically available, even in the peak travel seasons of spring and October, though some difficulty may be encountered during the New Year's travel spike. Summers are desert hot and dry, with temperatures climbing well over 100 degrees. Arriving at LAS from New York City or Chicago can run, before taxes and fees, from $275 to $325 and about $350 from Miami, but there are deals on cheap flights to Las Vegas to be had.
