So You Want to Fly From Toronto to Vegas, Eh?
Let's face it, sometimes you just need to escape the everyday and swap the hockey stick for a deck of cards. Toronto to Vegas is a popular route for Canadians looking for a little desert fun (and maybe a chance to win back that twenty from last weekend). But before you book those tickets and pack your dancing shoes (essential Vegas attire, obviously), you might be wondering: How long does it actually take to fly from Toronto to Vegas?
Well, fret no more, intrepid traveler, because we're here to shed some light on this burning question.
Direct Flights: Vegas, Baby, in Four!
Tip: Look for small cues in wording.
For the impatient gambler (or those who just really hate airplane food), the good news is that there are plenty of direct flights between Toronto and Vegas. Clocking in at around 4-5 hours, you can be dodging fountains at the Bellagio before you can say "what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas" (although, with all those cameras, that saying might need an update).
Taking the Scenic Route (with a Layover)
Maybe you're not a fan of cramped airplane seats, or perhaps you're looking to stretch your legs and score a cheap pretzel at a midwestern airport gift shop (hey, no judgement). If a direct flight isn't your speed, there are also options with layovers. These flights can take anywhere from between 6-10 hours, depending on the route and the length of your layover.
Pro Tip: If you do choose a layover flight, try to pick one with a short connection time so you're not stuck wandering around an airport for hours. Also, layovers in certain cities might be more exciting than others (think California sunshine vs. Detroit in winter).
Tip: Avoid distractions — stay in the post.
How to Pack for a Vegas Flight (Besides the Obvious)
- Essential Snacks: Airplane food is a gamble you don't want to take (unless you're feeling really lucky). Pack some healthy snacks to keep your hunger at bay.
- A Deck of Cards (or Dice, or Your Favorite Gambling Device): Vegas wasn't built on sight-seeing (although there is some pretty cool stuff to see). Be prepared to lose yourself in a game (or ten).
- Comfortable Shoes: You'll be doing a lot of walking in Vegas, from navigating the casino floors to exploring the city. Leave the stilettos at home, unless you're packing them specifically for a killer outfit (because hey, when in Vegas...).
