How to get from Orlando, Florida to Las Vegas??

Hi,

I am working in Orlando over summer 2011 and I am hoping to visit Las Vegas in September.

Does anyone know the cheapest way to get from Orlando to Las Vegas?? Flights seems to be about £300 return!!

Thanks :D

    Delta do the direct flights - they are showing at $300 (just under £200 for some random dates in Sept)

    I suggest you do a simple search on www.expedia.com to find out what options are open to you, plus one on www.southwest.com.

    I did the journey a couple of years ago. Limited direct services (and most seemed to be late night "red-eyes"). I ended up flying with Delta via Atlanta.

    Southwest will probably be fairly reasonably priced but I expect you will have to change planes somewhere. Southwest don't however charge to check in your baggage (1st case anyway).
  • Okay thanks, will check them out. I have also looked at flying from Daytona beach via Atlanta which seems to be very cheap.
    But I've never been to Orlando or Florida before, so have no idea how I could then get from Orlando to Daytona!

    It's an easy drive between Orlando and Daytona. Will probably take between 1h and 1h15m.
  • if jetblue fly the route you're after, then they're very cheap...another option would be to look into greyhound or Amtrak if you have the time. Would take a day or two to get there, but nice way to see the scenery, and cheaper than flying :)

    personally i would prefer to go by air due to the distance involved.

    check out expedia,skyscanner etc there are a few airport options you could try.
    MCO the closest.
    Daytona beach as already been said
    FLL a bit of a drive from orlando but fairly straight forward so might be worth a shot if you can fly direct for decent money.
    MIA further than FLL but all depends on if you mind driving?? orlando to MIA took me around 3 hours to drive last april.
