So, you're thinking of swapping Big Ben for Bellagio? Cracking idea!
But before you pack your sequined jumpsuit and hit the slots, you might be wondering: just how long does it take to get from London to Vegas, baby?
Well, buckle up, because we're about to dive into the wonderful world of transatlantic travel times. Don't worry, it's not all doom and gloom and airplane peanuts (although, there will definitely be peanuts).
The Speedy Gonzales: Non-stop Flights
If you're all about speed (and dodging jet lag as much as possible), then you're looking for a non-stop flight. These bad boys can whizz you from London to Vegas in around 10-11 hours. That's about the same amount of time it takes to binge-watch your favourite show on Netflix – easy peasy!
The Great Detour: Flights with Layovers
Maybe you fancy stretching your legs in a random American city (Des Moines, anyone?), or perhaps you're a seasoned traveller who thrives on the thrill of the bargain bin. In any case, flights with layovers can be a good option. Just be prepared for a travel time that could be anywhere from 13 to 18 hours (or more, depending on how many sneaky stopovers your airline decides to throw in).
Top Tip: Be a Layover Ninja!
If you do go the layover route, here's a cheeky tip: some airlines will let you book a flight with a long layover for a cheaper price. Then, you can try to rebook a different flight on the same airline for the shorter layover (sometimes for a surprisingly small fee). Just sayin'!
Vegas, Baby, Vegas: Here We Come!
So, there you have it. Buckle up, grab your eye mask and some in-flight entertainment, and get ready to be dazzled by the lights of Las Vegas! Just remember, while you might be there to win big, sometimes the real jackpot is the memories you make along the way (even if those memories involve questionable karaoke choices at 3 am).
How to FAQs:
How to find the cheapest flights?
There are a bunch of websites and apps out there that can help you find the cheapest flights. Try Skyscanner, Kayak, or Google Flights.
How to beat jet lag?
Hydrate like a champ on the plane, try to adjust your sleep schedule a few days before you fly, and don't be afraid to embrace the sunshine when you get to Vegas!
How to pack for Vegas?
Think comfortable clothes for the plane, something snazzy for hitting the casinos, and a swimsuit (because Vegas + pool = awesome).
How to survive a long layover?
Pack a good book, download some podcasts or movies, and see if there are any cool shops or restaurants in your layover city that you can explore.
How much spending money should I take?
Vegas is all about temptation, so this is a tricky one! Set a budget before you go and stick to it (as much as possible).
