Nashville, Tennessee, has a lot going for it: Music City is one of the most vibrant cities in the South, with a legendary country music scene, a young population, world class festivals and an lively sporting scene. It's a great all-rounder and a favorite for families and students alike. Of course, Las Vegas, however, has plenty of extras to attract the soft-spoken musicians of Tennessee – from its bright lights and unmatched nightlife, to its attractive proximity to the legendary Grand Canyon and its abundance of world-class, bigger-than-big shows. With all of this less than a four-hour plane ride away, Sin City is an understandable vacation choice for Nashville locals looking for a hassle-free change of scenery. Not only is Vegas a quick and easy choice, it can also be a very reasonably priced one if you manage to nab some bargain flights – and manage to curb your enthusiasm at the casinos, of course...

The following tips are a sure-fire way for Nashville holiday-makers to ensure they find cheap flights from Nashville to Las Vegas.
