When can you get cheap Flight to Las Vegas !

As a tourist, it’s easy to spend a lot on hotels, food, nightlife, shopping, and, of course, the gambling tables – and just getting to Vegas can put a sizable dent in your trip budget.
The good news is that there are times of the year, even days of the week, when you can fly out for less, leaving a little more money in your pocket for having fun.


The Off-Peak Season Is Hot, Hot, Hot


If your travel plans are flexible, you can save money on airfare by avoiding peak travel periods. These include all the traditional long weekends (Memorial Day, Labor Day) and the major holidays (Thanksgiving, Christmas/New Year's Eve and Valentine’s Day – remember, Vegas is the Wedding Chapel Capital of the World). Big sports – hence, betting – events tend to attract crowds, too. Here are some other characteristic Vegas prime times:
  • -The Consumer Electronics Show (first week in January)
  • -Super Bowl weekend (early February)
  • -March Madness (usually the last two weekends in March and the first weekend in April)
  • -National Finals Rodeo (early December)
Although there’s not really a low season in Vegas – because there’s always something going on – it is possible to score better deals during the hot summer months (this is a desert town, after all). To compare prices, we searched Google Flights to find fares for four-day trips from Atlanta (ATL) to Las Vegas (LAS). During early June, fares are as high as $585, dropping to around $300 for the end of June. During July, fares hover between $250 and $300, and for most of August, fares drop to about $200. Fast forward to New Year’s Eve, and fares jump to more than $400.

Not All Days Are Equal


For some routes, the cheapest days to travel depend both on your departure date and the length of your trip (since that determines which day you'll be returning). Google Flights shows, for example, that if you travel round-trip out of ATL for a four-day trip, your best bet might be flying into Vegas on a Tuesday or Friday; if you are taking a three-day trip, it might be cheaper to fly out on a Tuesday or Wednesday.
If you have the flexibility, it’s always a good idea to begin your search with your ideal dates, and then check fares for a few days before and after for a possible deal. To compare, we searched Google Flights to look for fares for the same four-day trip between ATL and LAS, this time in September. The results: Fares are $197 if you fly into Vegas on most Mondays, Tuesdays, Fridays or Saturdays; $267 if you fly on any Wednesday, and $237 if you fly on a Thursday. Conclusion: You can save up to $70 if you can fly on the cheaper days of the week. If you take a three-day trip, you pay as much as $287 if you fly out on a Thursday, or the same $197 if you travel on most Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays or Saturdays.

Finaly

Between holidays, sports events and conventions, Vegas never seems to have much of an off-season. Still, it’s possible to save on airfare if you can hit one of its few lull periods, like the mid-to-late summer, and often if you fly midweek instead of on a Friday or Sunday. Other ways to score are to follow airlines on social media to hear about last-minute flight deals and exclusive offers.
