While pricing a May 5 weekend Las Vegas trip for a client today, I recommended a Friday- Monday return, rather than returning Sunday. Why? The pricing for the three night weekend air and hotel trip was less returning on Monday then on Sunday. The difference being the airfare for the Monday return was more than $100.00 less then returning on Sunday. You can save money by being flexible. Sunday is by far the busiest flying day out of Las Vegas. Security check point lines are the longest on Sunday. Flights are most crowded on Sunday. Delays occur more frequently on Sunday. Sunday night in Las Vegas is our favorite times to walk the strip. Crowds have disappeared. Catch a front row seat to view the fountains at the Bellagio. The city seems to catch its breath. Restaurants that you couldn't get a reservation for on Saturday night welcome you. Shows that are impossible to find seats Saturday, have availability. Really.
Insider Tip: When is it best to fly if you want to save? As a rule avoid all three day holiday weekends. Fares are generally less flying Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday. Picking one of these days will reduce the cost of your trip. Do you have to fly on a Monday or a Sunday. Choose the earliest or latest flight times to catch the few remaining bargain seats.
