American Cities with Direct Flights to Las Vegas
Find out which American cities offer direct flights to Las Vegas and see ticket prices.
Hopper Editors - Thu Oct 26 2017
Rising from the brown desert of Nevada like a gleaming great big mirror ball, the city of Las Vegas has long been a bastion of hedonism, fun, frivolity and indulgence for American travelers the nation over. This is where the chip hoarders come to stack piles on the blackjack tables, where bachelor parties come to let loose in the luxurious super clubs, where hedonists sip strong cocktails at the glitzy bars and curious sightseers wonder at the city’s gaudy and ambitious undertakings. Ask any veteran of the American travel scene and they’ll tell you this one’s a must.
Thankfully it’s also easy to get to. Plenty of flights connect Nevada’s party capital with the rest of the country, linking it to places both close to home and far-flung, from the nearby cities of Southern Cali, to the remote climes of Hawaii. Viva Las Vegas!

Atlanta direct to Las Vegas on Delta or AirTran for $348 round trip, on average
