When to Book a Flight to Vegas

Maybe you've been many times (like I have), or maybe it's on your list of places to visit. In any case, there's no place quite like Las Vegas.

Our friends at Vegas.com recently released a really helpful tool to look over next time you're thinking about a trip to Vegas. Using booking data from 2014 and 2015, the team uncovered patterns in booking behavior all across the country-which ultimately helps reveal when the best times to book Vegas airfare are depending on where you live (see below). Among the findings:

• California - Best to book your flight to Vegas more than six weeks in advance


• Pacific West region (Alaska, Hawaii, Oregon, Washington) - Best to book your flight to Vegas eight to nine weeks in advance


• Mountain West region (Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, New Mexico, Wyoming, Utah) - Best to book your flight to Vegas at least three weeks in advance


• West South Central region (Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Texas) - Best to book your flight to Vegas seven to nine weeks in advance


• East South Central region (Alabama, Kentucky, Mississippi, Tennessee) - Best to book your flight to Vegas eight to ten weeks in advance.


• South Atlantic region (Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, Washington, D.C., West Virginia) - Best to book your flight to Vegas at least six weeks in advance to take advantage of the best airline rates


• West North Central region (Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota) - Best to book your flight to Vegas seven weeks in advance to take advantage of the best airline rates


• East North Central region (Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, Wisconsin) - Best to book your flight to Vegas at least four weeks in advance


• Mid Atlantic region (New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania) - Best time to book your flight to Vegas is four to seven weeks in advance


• New England region (Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Vermont) - Best time to book your flight to Vegas is ten to twelve weeks in advance

 

It's all (and more) in the map above, which you can see enlarged here.
