    Went to Las Vegas last year and the only direct flight from the UK is with Virgin Atlantic on Sun, Tues, Wed or Thurs. We flew on United Airlines (however i wouldn't recommend them) via LA or you could go by another US city. Try CLICK HERE FOR LIST OF AIRLINES
    Just noticed MyTravel is on the list and Thomas Cook are on the list so these could be worth trying. If you need any info on Las Vegas CLICK HERE

    Did you Know: It costs more than £325,000 a day to run the lifeboat service? (with no government funding) Please donate to the RNLI

    Just had another idea - if you could get a cheap flight to one of the major US cities such as New York, LA or San Francisco you could then use a 'low-cost airline' such as Jet Blue, Southwestern or America West which all fly to Vegas.

    Hope this is useful.

    Try this site for late bookings. Watch out for the booking fee.

    Dates are important. Just tried a quick enquiry with ebookers for Los Angeles(LAX). We went mid April for £246. with AA.(an airline I can recommend). The current cost would be over £500 for 2 weeks from mid July but back to £300 in mid September for 2 weeks.

    At that time Las Vegas (change at Chicago) would cost £333 (plus taxes and charges gives £394) also with AA.

    Also found that ebookers were efficient and the e-ticketting which I used saved money and worked very smoothly.

    Las Vegas was a great place to visit but I wouldn't want to be there for more than 5 or 6 days particularly with some great sights nearby such as the Grand Canyon and other National Parks such as Zion and Bryce. You get great flexibility with a car and if you do that then perhaps you might get better prices to LAX and drive to Las Vegas rather than fly in to Las Vegas directly.
    Nice to save.
