Distance & Flight Time
236 mi / 380 km
Nonstop flight time is approximately 0h 42m to 1h 23m.
Getting to LAX
FlyAway bus runs from Van Nuys and Union Station ($9.75, 30–50 min depending on traffic). LA Metro C Line connects to Aviation/LAX station; a free shuttle covers the last mile to terminals. Ride-shares cost $20–50 from downtown. Long-term parking lots A/B are walkable; remote Lot E requires a shuttle.
Getting from LAS
Taxis and ride-shares dominate ground transport. A metered taxi to the Strip costs $20–30; to downtown Las Vegas ("Fremont Street area"), $20–25. Ride-shares are comparable or slightly cheaper.Hotel casino shuttles serve major properties. No rail connects the airport to the Strip. Rental car facilities are at the CONRAC facility adjacent to the terminals, accessible by shuttle. Tunnel project (LVCC Loop) does not serve the airport.
Las Vegas Climate
Hot desert climate. Summers are intensely hot (38–45°C) with low humidity. Heat itself rarely disrupts flights, but monsoonal afternoon thunderstorms from July through September can produce brief but severe delays. Microbursts and lightning strikes ground aircraft quickly.
Winters are mild and sunny (5–15°C) with rare frost. Snow is unusual but possible in January and February. Spring dust storms (haboobs) can reduce visibility rapidly. The airport sits at 2,181 feet; thin air affects aircraft performance on extremely hot days.

See the On-Time Performance section for the latest delay data at both airports. This shows departure and arrival reliability to help you plan.
Route data is updated regularly from official airline schedules. On-time performance data comes from recent airport delay snapshots.
Las Vegas flights depart from multiple terminals at LAX depending on the carrier: United uses Terminals 7–8, Delta uses Terminals 2–3, American uses Terminals 4–5, and Southwest uses Terminal 1. Spirit and Frontier use Terminal 3. Confirm your terminal on your boarding pass, as inter-terminal transfers at LAX require re-entry through security if you arrive via Uber/taxi at the wrong terminal.
Friday and Saturday evening departures on the LAX–LAS route are known for high passenger energy, and carriers report those flights have elevated boarding times. If you prefer a quieter experience, morning departures Monday through Thursday are notably calmer.
Santa Ana conditions themselves rarely cause direct flight cancellations, but they can increase LAX arrival delays from upstream traffic, pushing departure banks late. Las Vegas's LAS airport is minimally affected by Santa Ana events directly. Delays on this route are more commonly sourced at the LAX end.
Los Angeles to Las Vegas: One of the World's Busiest Short-Haul Routes
The 430km LAX–LAS sector ranks among the most frequently flown domestic routes in the United States, with 16 airlines producing over 330 weekly departures. The flight time is roughly 55–65 minutes block-to-block. Competitive pressure across full-service, low-cost, and ultra-low-cost carriers keeps unit fares low. Many travellers choose this over the 4–5 hour drive on I-15.
Hub and Connection Context
Both LAX and LAS function as connecting hubs. LAX serves as a significant international gateway, meaning BNE–LAS or NRT–LAS one-stop itineraries commonly route through Los Angeles. LAS handles a high proportion of leisure O&D traffic and sees limited connecting use compared to legacy hubs. The short stage length means aircraft utilisation is high, and same-day rebooking availability is generally strong if a morning flight is cancelled.
