Rather than venturing off the Reno-area base on November 25 for Black Friday shopping, head to Vegas! For a discounted airline ticket costing just $102.21, you can hop on a plane to Las Vegas, saving yourself the nearly eight-hour drive. Top off the Thanksgiving holiday by taking in a show, dining on more great food, and doing some gambling.
Las Vegas is an attraction in itself, drawing visitors from all over the world. The subtropical desert climate results in year-round sunshine. Of course, you need to leave the casinos to see it! Temperatures will be in the low to mid 60s during the next two weeks, perfect for walking the strip in The Entertainment Capital of the World.
With a huge number of hotels, accommodations are not lacking. Use money saved on your discount airline ticket to stay at a luxury resort like the Four Seasons. Red Rock Resort features resort-style accommodations close to the action, also offering an amazing view of the canyon red rocks. Dining options also abound and include the pricey Joel Rubuchon and Paul Bartolotta’s and all-around favorites like Alize and Rosemary’s Restaurant.
Vegas is known for its gambling but there are also other attractions. Tour the various wedding chapels or head to Fremont Street, a five-block strip featuring colorful kiosks and vendor carts hocking merchandise and food. Stay until evening to view the Viva Vision laser and light show. There is also plenty of nightlife at Vegas hotels, bars, and pubs.
With a military discount, airline ticket prices from Reno to Las Vegas are currently $102.21 per passenger. There is never a bad time to head to Sin City so take advantage of this deal. Sleep off the turkey coma in a luxurious Vegas hotel and then head to the gaming tables to win some holiday shopping money.
