Sin City to Music City: Can You Ditch the Deck Chairs for Cowboy Boots With a Direct Flight?
Las Vegas: the land of flashing lights, questionable decisions made after 2 am, and buffets that would make your grandma weep (tears of joy, probably). Nashville: home of twangy tunes, hot chicken, and enough rhinestones to blind a rhinestone salesman.
But what if you, dear reader, crave a whirlwind adventure that combines these two seemingly disparate destinations? Can you skip the connecting flight shuffle and go from blackjack tables to backstage passes in one smooth (hopefully turbulence-free) journey?
The Answer, My Friend, is Blowin' in the Wind...But Also on Several Airlines
Here's the good news, y'all: you can absolutely fly directly from Las Vegas (Harry Reid International Airport, for those unfamiliar) to Nashville (Nashville International Airport).
QuickTip: Skip distractions — focus on the words.
Hold on to Your Stetsons, We're About to Take Flight!
Several airlines offer this route, including the ever-cheery Southwest Airlines and the...slightly less chatty Spirit Airlines. Flights typically take around 3.5 hours, which is basically enough time to polish off a good thriller novel or an entire season of your favorite reality show (no judgment).
Pro Tip: Be sure to pack some peanuts for the flight. Nashville is all about hot chicken, but you might need a little pre-game for your taste buds.
QuickTip: Break reading into digestible chunks.
But Wait, There's More! (Because Vegas Wouldn't Have It Any Other Way)
Here are some additional things to consider for your Las Vegas to Nashville flight adventure:
- Price: Flights can vary depending on the time of year, airline, and your tolerance for middle seats. Keep an eye out for deals, especially if you're flexible with your travel dates.
- What to Pack: Nashville has four distinct seasons, so check the forecast before you go. Vegas is pretty much a desert year-round, so pack accordingly (although, sequins are always a good call).
