Vegas Air/Hotel Deals, From $122
A quick fall getaway to Sin City is cheaper than you think. Hurry, as some of these deals expire soon!
Friday, September 26, 2008;
Airlines may be cutting some flights to Las Vegas, but that doesn't mean you can't find a bargain. The city has been reeling from a combination of fewer tourists and an increase in the volume of hotel rooms. This need to fill vacancies translates to discounted hotel room rates and air/hotel packages like the ones we're highlighting below. As always, being flexible—traveling on weekdays, for instance—helps stretch your money even further.
U.S. Airways Vacations, from $122 per person
American Airlines Vacations, from $148 per person
Southwest Vacations, from $374 per person
