Four ideas for when you can get away, but only briefly. Start with the destination that fits your journey, then compare the full cost for your dates.
WEST · SHORT NONSTOP FLIGHT
A quick hit of Vegas
Las Vegas, Nevada
Best fit: nearby Western flyers, such as Los Angeles or Phoenix.
Pick one part of the Strip, make dinner the main event, and leave time for the free Bellagio fountains. Choose an early arrival and a late return.
A one-night flight only makes sense when the schedule leaves enough time on the ground.
Count the whole trip. Add airfare for both travelers, bags, airport transfers, meals and any show tickets.
