Las Vegas is the most popular destination from Seattle. The short, about 2-hour flight is especially appealing because ticket prices are almost always less than $200. This makes it a quick getaway for Seattle locals looking to let loose for the weekend. In a short time, they will be walking down The Strip with a drink in hand, deciding which restaurant, club or casino to try first. Live entertainment from Britney Spears to David Copperfield to Cirque du Soleil is another only-in-Vegas option to try. Of course, all of Vegas' offerings cost a pretty penny, which is why saving on travel always helps travelers stay within budget, while still enjoying everything Sin City has to offer. Check out these tips from Hopper on ways to find cheap flights from Seattle to Las Vegas.

By booking a ticket to Vegas at least 14 days in advance, travelers can save up to $150. Flying within those 14 days can cost significantly more, as prices rise rapidly. Prices further in advance than 14 days, however, are relatively flat. Plus, if you book in advance, you have a better opportunity of getting good tickets to one of the Cirque du Soleil shows everyone has been talking about. The savings could also be used towards one of the more popular shows such as Love Cirque du Soleil or O by Cirque du Soleil.

May is the best month to travel to Vegas because airfare can be up to $120 less than other months. July, on the other hand, is the most expensive month to fly to Vegas, with tickets costing as much as $300. That $120 savings can be used towards another night's stay (or even your entire stay) at one of Las Vegas' resorts. The Stratosphere, for instance, offers room rates that range from as low as $32 to about $150.

3. The cheapest day to fly from Seattle to Las Vegas is on a Tuesday, saving up to $47

If your schedule allows, you can save up to $47 by flying to Las Vegas on a Tuesday. That savings can be used towards an unlimited plate at one of the city's mega buffets. The buffet at Wynn Las Vegas is about $40 for a weekend dinner. It features everything from watermelon salad to beef brisket to crab legs to crepes. Plus, vegans will be happy to know that there are several delicious options for them as well.

4. Save up to $56 by returning on a Wednesday

Stay in Vegas a little longer and save up to $56 by returning on a Wednesday. Spend that extra time (and money) by taking a day trip to Hoover Dam. Guided tours are available to visitors who want to check out the powerplant and passageways within the dam itself. The Visitor Center has several presentations and exhibits about the history of the dam and the engineering behind the massive structure. Visitors can even test their own skills at managing power generation.

5. The cheapest day to buy a flight from Seattle to Las Vegas is on a Tuesday, saving up to $19

Take time from your busy schedule to book your ticket to Vegas on a Tuesday, and you can save up to $19. That money can be used towards your first hand at poker.

Play long enough (and well enough), you could earn some serious dough that could maybe pay for your next trip back to Vegas.

9. Take a look at Hopper's Airline Fees Calculator to get the real cost of your ticket

Different airlines have different policies on what's included in the ticket price. That means some airlines have hidden fees that customers don't realize until the day of their departure. To aid customers in their ticket-purchasing decision, Hopper created the Airline Fees Calculator. The calculator helps customers understand upfront exactly what they will need to fly (whether fees are hidden or not). For instance, airlines such as Frontier and Spirit require customers to pay for any carry-on luggage, adding anywhere between $25 and $100 depending on how much luggage is carried.
