High rollers from Atlanta will want to take the time to check out the scene on the Vegas Strip. While there are certainly high-end casinos with blackjack tables galore, gambling is just the beginning of what this adult playground has to offer. There are also hundreds of high-end restaurants and bars, as well as live acts that include everything from comedians to acrobatic performers to you-won’t-understand magic shows. However, these entertainment offerings rarely come at a low cost. Luckily, Atlantans looking to trade the humid heat for the dry desert heat can find cheap flights to Las Vegas with these eight tips which can save a cool $399 per ticket.

1. The cheapest time to book a flight from Atlanta to Las Vegas is 15 days in advance, saving up to $220
While a last-minute trip to Las Vegas sounds ideal, travelers that wait to book 15 days out will be rewarded with a savings of up to $220. That savings can be used towards a Cirque du Soleil show or a meal at one of the city’s many celebrity chef restaurants. For instance, Food Network’s Giada De Laurentiis will open up a restaurant this summer, where guests will be able to try some of her delicious Italian fare.
2. The cheapest day to fly from Atlanta to Las Vegas is on a Tuesday, saving up to $55
While Tuesday isn’t exactly the best timing for a weekend getaway to Vegas, visitors can save up to $55 by booking a flight for that day of the week. Luckily, Vegas can be just as exciting on a Tuesday as a Saturday, with live theatrical shows every night of the week. It’s also easier to get a reservation at one of the popular restaurants that have influenced the city’s burgeoning foodie scene.
3. Save up to $84 by returning on a Wednesday
Make it an extra long weekend in Vegas and return to Atlanta on a Wednesday. Travelers that return midweek can save up to $84. Plus, Vegas isn’t just gambling and late-night clubs. Visitors will find that this desert city has way more to offer than weekend festivities. For instance, the thrill rides and roller coasters alone will keep travelers busy well until Wednesday.
4. The cheapest time to fly from Atlanta to Las Vegas is in April, saving up to $40
Visitors can save up to $40 by traveling to Las Vegas in April. Plus, the weather is just starting to get hot before the summer heat makes it almost hard to swim or sit outside for too long. As such, a hotel pool and tropical dream is just calling your name during this mid-spring month.
