Canadian companies fly teams to Las Vegas for conventions and trade shows, and groups head there for fights, concerts and weekends. It is a long enough flight that a midsize jet or larger is the comfortable choice for a group. Every passenger needs a passport, and you clear US Customs and Border Protection on arrival. Coming home, you clear Canadian customs on arrival in Toronto.
