The fares on American and United are Main Cabin seats, which come with a carry-on and seat assignment. Alaska Air and Delta fares are basic economy tickets. The sale extends from January to October, but we saw the best availability for winter travel.

If you live in Minneapolis, you can fly nonstop on Delta for just $97. We saw lots of availability in January, and even better, there were several return flights that leave in the afternoon. That gives you a few extra hours in Vegas to push your luck or to enjoy a nice leisurely morning before heading home.

There are lots of bargain fares to be found out of L.A. bound for the desert during the winter. This itinerary on Alaska gets you there for only $77 round-trip.

This deal I found is specifically for football fans. One of the best times to visit Vegas is during Super Bowl weekend, and this year the NFL’s biggest game lands on Feb. 13. This Saturday-Monday trip is quick but it’s only $77. And it lets you enjoy Super Sunday in one of the very best places to do so, outside of the actual stadium where the game is happening.

Salt Lake City (SLC) to Vegas can be booked for just $97 round-trip on Delta (basic economy), with lots of availability in February.

We found many fares from Philadelphia (PHL) to Vegas for $137 nonstop on American. That’s for a Main Cabin seat, too.

And you can fly nonstop from Detroit (DTW) for only $139 on Delta in January. There were quite a few available seats at this price when we checked.

Maximize your purchase
Don’t forget to use a card that earns bonus points on airfare purchases, like The Platinum Card® from American Express for 5x on airfare booked directly with the airline or through American Express Travel (on up to $500,000 on these purchases per calendar year); the Citi Prestige® Card for 5x on airfare; the Citi Premier® Card (3x on air travel); Chase Sapphire Reserve (3x on air travel); the American Express® Gold Card for 3x on airfare when booked directly with the airline or through Amex Travel or the Chase Sapphire Preferred Card for 2x on travel.
Bottom line
There is much more to do in Vegas than hit the casinos and clubs. If neither of those things appeals to you, don’t worry. The city is full of great options for non-gamblers. Once you book your flight, make sure to do some advance prep work so you can have the best possible time.
