Follow these 10 tips from Hopper to find cheap flights from Providence to Las Vegas and you could save up to $736 per round-trip ticket!
Hopper Editors - Thu Oct 26 2017
Providence is the third largest city in New England. Its cobblestone streets and historic architecture exude that traditional New England feel that reminds locals it was one of the 13 original colonies. While its quaint setting provides the perfect backdrop for, say, a romance novel, some locals may want to get away for a while. Las Vegas provides the exact opposite atmosphere. Dubbed Sin City, Las Vegas is like Providence’s older brother that whisks travelers off to have a raucous weekend of gaming, clubbing and indulging. The Las Vegas excitement is likely why it’s the No. 3 destination for Providence locals to visit. And these 10 tips from Hopper can help you score cheap flights from Providence to Las Vegas so you can spend more when you arrive.
1. The cheapest time to book a flight from Providence to Las Vegas is 40 days in advance, saving up to $250
While Las Vegas may seem like a weekend-getaway-type place, the flight from Providence to Sin City with stops can take almost eight hours. As such, it’s better to plan your trip in advance. Plus, if you book your flight at least 40 days out, you can save up to $250. That money can be better spent testing your skills at blackjack at one of the casinos. It’s really remarkable how many ways you can get to 21.
2. The cheapest time to fly from Providence to Las Vegas is after June, saving up to $150
The second half of the year is the best time to fly from Providence to Las Vegas. After June, ticket prices are up to $150 less expensive. The summer heat in June, July, August and September make it a less popular time of year to go. This means ticket prices are cheaper, but hotels are also practically giving away rooms with the discounts they offer. If you wait to visit until fall, the weather is practically perfect, averaging about 75 degrees Fahrenheit during the day.
3. The cheapest day to fly from Providence to Las Vegas is on a Wednesday, saving up to $121
Visitors could save up to $121 booking a ticket from Providence to Las Vegas on a Wednesday. This mid-week departure day is ideal for Providence locals hoping to spend an extended, Thursday-through-Sunday weekend in Sin City. The flight alone takes almost eight hours, so you can spend the travel time on Wednesday and save Thursday and Friday for more important activities such as laying by the pool, catching a Cirque du Soleil show or even four-wheeling in the desert.
4. Save up to $151 by returning on a Tuesday
The same applies if you decide to return to Providence on a Tuesday. Not only could you save up to $151, but you could also spend your precious weekend days on vacation in Vegas instead of in an airport. The Vegas weekend promises the best parties, day or night. During the day, hotel pools take the form of a Spring Break escape, with DJs, poolside drinks and contests. While at night, DJs, dancing and up-all-night partygoers continue the only-in-Vegas fun.
5. The cheapest day to buy a flight from Providence to Las Vegas is on a Thursday, saving up to $64
Taking time from your busy work week to book a flight from Providence to Las Vegas can pay off. Booking on a Thursday can save you up to $64. That money can be used towards a meal at one of the city’s celebrity chef restaurants. Gordon Ramsay’s steakhouse is perhaps the loudest in more ways than one. The lively, London-inspired ambiance is matched by delicious dishes such as smoked beef tartare and Kurobuta pork belly, and a seemingly endless list of steak on the menu.
