Flights to Las Vegas

Harry Reid International Airport (LAS) is just 3 miles south of the storied stretch of downtown Las Vegas known as “The Strip.” As one of the busiest airports in the world, Harry Reid International offers a taste of what you’ll find in the city itself, with a wide selection of restaurants, shopping and even a number of slot machines located throughout the passenger terminals.

With its world-famous nightlife and themed casinos, Las Vegas undoubtedly has a reputation as a playground for adults. But thanks to a wide variety of entertainment options, from theatrical productions to magic shows and amusement parks, the city can also be a family-friendly destination.

Vegas Casino Games

Las Vegas’ signature pastime is of course gambling. And casinoes are the largest contributor to the city's economy, ahead of even hotels, restaurants and nightclubs. There is no shortage of places to gamble throughout the city, starting from the slot machines in the airport, waiting for you when your flight touches down. Whether your game is blackjack, poker, roulette or slots, you’re sure to find a seat at the table.

Las Vegas Shows

You can catch a show in Las Vegas at any time of day or night, whether you’re looking to be entertained by singers, dancers, magic or more. And thanks to entertainment like Cirque du Soleil and the Discovery Children's Museum, there are sights to dazzle young senses as well. Many casinos offer free shows in addition to high-end, world class magical and musical revues.

Food and Restaurants 

A ticket to Las Vegas brings you to one of the country’s best food scenes. These days, it’s moved well beyond the $1 buffet. Although those old-school deals can still be found, the real culinary action is in hole-in-the-wall ethnic eateries and signature destination restaurants from some of the best chefs on the planet.

Check out Aria’s Bar Masa, which serves some of the best sushi you’ll ever find in the middle of the desert. Want a more traditional steakhouse experience? The Mandalay Bay’s StripSteak is 18 ounces of dry-aged bone-in Kobe rib eye. And for the ultimate culinary experience plus star treatment, book a table at Joel Robuchon’s three-star Michelin restaurant and schedule a prix-fixe dinner with roundtrip limo service.

Pools and Spas

Proper attire in Las Vegas at some point most certainly includes a bathing suit. This oasis in the desert boasts pools and spas around every corner. Whether you’re looking to party, sunbathe, gamble or max out, there are countless spots to do it poolside. And of course if you’d rather soak or swim, you can do that too.

Las Vegas Nightlife

When the sun goes down and the lights on the Strip come up, the Vegas see-and-be-seen atmosphere is at its height. Check out the action at places like XS at Encore, the Venetian’s Tao, and Hard Rock’s Vanity, where a cyclone chandelier lit by more than 20,000 crystals pulses above the dance floor.

The weather in Las Vegas is generally predictable and pleasant. With an average of 310 sunny days per year, rainfall is limited and bright sunshine is in abundance. Though the summer months are hot, with an average daytime high of 104°F in July, the winters are short and mild with the average December highs in the mid-50s.
