The Las Vegas Strip

Four miles of casino resorts, headline residencies, and fountain shows — the Strip remains the reason most travelers make this trip.

How to Find the Cheapest New York–Las Vegas Fares

01

Book 4–6 Weeks Ahead

Fares on this long transcontinental route are typically lowest about a month out, especially before major convention weeks.

02

Fly Tuesday or Wednesday

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

Avoid Major Convention Weeks

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

05

Set a Fare Alert

With five carriers competing on this route, fares shift often — an alert catches drops the moment they post.

06

Consider Redeye Flights

Overnight westbound flights are less common on this route than eastbound, but red-eye returns from Vegas can price lower given the long flying time.
