If you want to know how to find cheap flights to Las Vegas, start by comparing the total fare rather than the headline price. A tempting deal can quickly become expensive once baggage fees, seat charges or an inconvenient connection are added.
This guide explains where to check flight deals, how to compare flexible dates and direct flights, and what to review before booking your trip.
π Last updated: August 2026
VegasWizzard quick recommendation: Start with Skyscanner to compare routes, airlines and dates. Then check the final price on Trip.com, Expedia and Booking.com before paying. Always compare the total like-for-like price, including baggage and any extras you actually need.
π How to Find Cheap Flights to Las Vegas
Skyscanner lets you compare airlines, routes, departure airports and flexible travel dates in one search.
Use the search box below to compare live flight prices. Enter your departure airport in the From field and Las Vegas in the To field, then choose your dates, passengers and cabin class.

If you prefer to open Skyscanner separately, you can compare flights directly on Skyscanner.
VegasWizzard Tip: Do not assume the first headline price is automatically the cheapest overall option. Open the fare details and compare the final price elsewhere before booking.
π§³ Compare Baggage Before Comparing Prices
Cheap flights can become poor value when the displayed fare excludes the bags or extras you need. Check the same available tickets and fare class on Trip.com, Expedia and Booking.com.
Before choosing flights, compare:
- Final ticket price.
- Cabin and checked baggage.
- Seat and payment fees.
- Change and cancellation conditions.
- Economy-class restrictions.
- Meals on longer routes.
Compare like for like: A Β£450 fare including a checked bag may beat a Β£410 ticket that reaches Β£480 after baggage is added.
π Compare More Than One Booking Site
Once you find a suitable route, check the same dates, fare class and baggage allowance across several sites before paying.
π΅ Skyscanner
A strong starting point for comparing airlines, routes and flexible departure dates.
βοΈ Compare Flight Prices with Skyscanner
π Trip.com
Check the final fare and baggage bundle, then compare a package with booking the flight and hotel separately.
βοΈ Check Flight Prices with Trip.com
π¨βοΈ Check Flight + Hotel Packages with Trip.com
π‘ Expedia
Useful for comparing flights and package prices. Qualifying flight-inclusive packages booked through Expedia.co.uk are covered by Expedia's ATOL number 5788; confirm the protection shown for your exact booking.
βοΈ Check Flight Prices with Expedia
π¨βοΈ Check Flight + Hotel Packages with Expedia
π· Booking.com
Compare its available fares before deciding. The package link below opens Agoda, another Booking Holdings brand.

VegasWizzard rule: Choose the genuinely better total price after baggage and required extrasβnot simply the lowest advertised fare.
π« Should You Book Direct With the Airline?
Use Skyscanner or another comparison site to find suitable flights, then check the airline's website before paying.
Booking directly with the airline can be attractive when:
- The direct price is the same or cheaper.
- Baggage options are clearer.
- You want easier communication if the flight changes.
- You need a flexible or refundable ticket.
- You have airline status, points or vouchers.
There is no universal winner. Compare the total price and fare conditions and choose the option that gives you the best combination of price and protection.
π Use Flexible Dates to Find Lower Fares
Prices for Las Vegas flights can change substantially by date. Search several departure days, including midweek options, and check nearby airports when practical.
Compare any airfare saving with added hotel nights or ground transport. Saving Β£100 on tickets is poor value if it creates Β£150 in extra costs.
π Compare Direct and Connecting Flights
Search both direct flights and connecting options, then judge the complete journey rather than the lowest headline fare.
Compare:
- Total travel time and connections.
- Whether baggage is checked through.
- One-ticket versus separate-ticket itineraries.
- Self-transfer and transit requirements.
- Baggage, seats and other fees.
- Travel to an alternative departure airport.
VegasWizzard Tip: A lower-priced itinerary may be poor value if it adds an overnight layover, self-transfer or several hours of travel.
When the saving is small, the simpler route is usually the better choice.
β±οΈ When to Search and Book
There is no guaranteed cheapest day to book, so compare several dates instead of relying on a fixed rule. Start searching early enough to monitor fares, then check again before paying. Use fare alerts where available and review both return tickets and separate one-way options.
Avoid judging prices only by the calendar. Major Las Vegas events, conventions and holiday periods can increase demand, while a midweek departure may offer better value. If changing dates saves money, include any extra hotel nights, airport transport and baggage costs in the calculation.
πΈ Check the Total Fare Before Paying
Open the fare conditions and confirm taxes, carrier charges, currency conversion, payment fees, seat selection and baggage. Check whether the ticket is refundable, changeable or tied to a strict economy fare. A low advertised price is only a good deal when it matches the ticket you actually need. For international trips, also check connection-country entry rules and airport transfer costs.
π‘οΈ Flight Delays, Cancellations and AirHelp
A substantial delay or cancellation may qualify for compensation depending on the route, applicable passenger-rights law and cause of the disruption.
βοΈ Already Had a Disrupted Flight?
AirHelp can check eligibility and handle a qualifying claim. Its standard service is no-win, no-fee, but fees are deducted from successful claims.
It takes about two minutes to check.
π° Check Your Flight Compensation Eligibility with AirHelp
π« Before You Fly: AirHelp+
AirHelp says eligible members can use its compensation service without the normal service or legal-action fees. Other benefits vary by plan and market and may require the trip to be registered before departure.
Check the plan terms before travelling: Membership bought after a disruption will not retrospectively remove claim fees.
Important: Compensation and insurance-style payouts are not guaranteed. Eligibility and benefits depend on the circumstances and applicable terms.
ποΈ Which Las Vegas Airport Do You Need?
Most visitors fly into Harry Reid International Airport (LAS), the main airport serving Las Vegas and the Strip.
Once your flight is booked, use the VegasWizzard transport guide to compare rideshares, taxis, rental cars and other options for getting from the airport to your hotel.

What is the best website for finding cheap flights to Las Vegas?
I recommend starting with Skyscanner because it is excellent for comparing airlines, dates and routes. Once you find a suitable flight, check the same itinerary on Trip.com, Expedia, Booking.com and the airline's own website before paying.
Does the cheapest Skyscanner fare include baggage?
Not necessarily. Baggage depends on the airline, fare class and booking option. Always open the fare details and compare the final price after adding any baggage you need.
Are Trip.com, Expedia or Booking.com always more expensive than Skyscanner?
No. Prices and fare bundles can vary. One platform may display a higher headline price but include something that costs extra elsewhere, which is why the final like-for-like price matters more than the first number you see.
Is it better to book directly with the airline?
Sometimes. If the airline offers the same or a lower total price, direct booking can be attractive. The important thing is to compare price, baggage, flexibility and booking conditions rather than following a blanket rule.
Which airport should I fly into for the Las Vegas Strip?
Harry Reid International Airport (LAS) is the main airport for Las Vegas and the standard choice for visitors staying on or around the Strip.
