Get There Cheap-Inexpensive Flights
The biggest single expense in a Las Vegas vacation is getting there, usually
by air. Hey, the more money you save on airfare, the more you'll have for the
tables. Keep this in mind when looking for an inexpensive vacation, avoid the
advertised package deals. Invariably these "deals" cost far more than if you do
just a little research and book the whole vacation yourself.
When searching for inexpensive air fares, you must be flexible in your travel
plans. Avoid travel on the weekend and, if you can, query for flights in the
middle of the week. The internet is a great help in this regard. Check out
orbitz,
yahoo, and
cheap tickets to start.
Another great online resources for cheap air fares is
Travelocity.com Once again, getting
the best rates means you have to be flexible with your travel times. Click the
"Travelocity Best Fare Finder" icon on the top right hand corner. You will be
led through a simple search procedure which, hopefully, will match you up with
acceptable departure and arrival times at a very good rate.
National Airlines, was founded
by casino operators to compete with established carriers. National operates
direct flights from from Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, New York, Dallas,
and other centers, with plans to expand. National's goal is to pcombine
reasonable rates, good service, and popular departure times. You can make
online reservations here and
decide for yourself. One plus for National, they will check your baggage's right
through to the Rio and Harrah's right from the airport.
South West Air sometimes offers excellent Las Vegas specials, especially from
the western United States, and will notify you by email when these specials are
offered. Go to their website and
get on their mailing list.
What is a good air fare to Las Vegas? $175 to $200 return from the Midwest
and around $275 return from the east coast to Las Vegas is a decent rate on a
scheduled airline. South West routinely offers return fares under $200
(sometimes under $100) from Texas, Oklahoma, Oregon, and California.
America West
offers specials online and have recently discouted Vegas flights from the
midwest as low as $198 return. It would pay to get on their email list.
Many so called charter airlines offer daily service to Las Vegas from various
locations. These charter flights are not listed on the normal online reservation
systems but you can still access them and, sometimes, get some absolutely
outstanding deals. To get in on these deals, find out who the major Las Vegas
vacation wholesaler is in your area. Check the ads in the travel section of the
local weekend newspaper. You will have to dig a little to find out who the
wholesaler is. You could even ask some travel agents. Once you know who it is,
contact them directly and simply ask if they are running any specials. Some of
the wholesalers have web sites and update their prices daily. I have seen
wholesalers post return prices to Las Vegas from midwest cities as low as $98. I
don't think you could get a bus ticket this cheap. If you get a rate this low,
book it.
One of these charter operators is America Trans Air. ATA has been flying to
Vegas from many cities for decades and they recently started posting their
specials online. Click here to check them out.
