When to go and what to expect
Las Vegas
Spring and fall are the most comfortable. Summer highs regularly pass 100°F, and winter evenings can be cool. Prices rise around major conventions, big sporting events and holiday weekends.
Los Angeles
Spring and fall are comfortable. May and June often bring a coastal marine layer of morning cloud, and summer is a busy season.
Getting between the airport and town
Las Vegas: Taxis, ride-hail and shuttles run constantly between the airport and the Strip.
Los Angeles: Freeway traffic can turn a short distance into a long trip at rush hour, so allow generous time between the airport and your destination.

- If you are flexible about airports, ask for prices into more than one of them. Fares and schedules can differ noticeably.
- Compare the total with bags included, not just the base fare. See baggage fees and taxes and fees.
