Most trips on this coast-to-coast route are built around a date on the Las Vegas calendar: a trade show at the convention center, a championship fight, a residency show or a long weekend with friends. Groups like it because everyone boards together in New Jersey or Westchester and steps off minutes from the Strip, with no connection in between. Corporate teams often fly out for a show and come back the same week, so we usually quote it as a round trip with the aircraft waiting or repositioning, whichever works out better for your dates.
