Las Vegas flights and airfare are important considerations for anyone traveling to this desert oasis by air. Timing your arrival and departure is important for two reasons: your convenience and the size of the crowds both at the airport and at your hotel. As anyone trying to check into their hotel at 2 AM on a Saturday morning can tell you, timing is everything. (Crowds of weekend gamblers leaving L.A., after work on Friday night, just happen to arrive at that time!) Convenience is important too, of course. Be sure and take your itinerary into account when making air travel plans. Luckily McCarran International Airport is located just minutes from the Las Vegas Strip and all the popular hotels and attractions. So use the resources here to plan first, then book, your Las Vegas flight and airfare.
