How to Find the Cheapest Las Vegas–Los Angeles Fares

01

Book 2–4 Weeks Ahead

As one of the shortest, most frequent routes in this guide, fares stay relatively competitive — but booking a few weeks out still helps around major convention dates.

02

Fly Tuesday or Wednesday

Midweek departures consistently undercut Thursday and Sunday fares, which spike with weekend Strip and beach traffic.

03

Compare All Five Carriers

Southwest, Delta, American, United, and Spirit all fly nonstop — price out bags and seat selection on each before booking.

04

Avoid Major Convention Weeks

Trade-show season, especially October, pushes both fares and hotel rates up sharply — check the Vegas events calendar first.

05

Set a Fare Alert

With five carriers competing at high frequency, fares shift often — an alert catches drops the moment they post.

06

Consider the Drive as a Backup

At about a 4-hour drive via I-15, road-tripping is a realistic alternative if flight fares spike on short notice.

Frequently Asked Questions

Aim for 2–4 weeks out for typical travel, and earlier around major convention dates when fares and demand both climb.

It depends on traffic — the flight itself is just over an hour, but with airport time factored in, driving the roughly 4-hour I-15 route can be comparable or faster on quiet travel days.
