Nonstop flights typically take 3 hours 17 minutes, with the return leg at about 3 hours 11 minutes.", "methodology": "Flight times and distances come from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). The typical flight time is the median scheduled block time across all carriers on the route, computed the same way in both directions so the difference reflects prevailing winds rather than any change in method.

Ride share is the most popular choice, with dedicated pickup areas inside the parking garages, while taxis are available outside baggage claim in both terminals. The RTC public bus is the cheapest option, and rental cars are convenient with a free shuttle to the off-site center. The Vegas Loop provides a fast, direct ride to the Strip and downtown.

For summer or holiday periods, you'll generally want to book even earlier, since those peak travel times tend to sell out faster and push prices up.", "methodology": "Booking-window guidance comes from the same monthly in-house analysis of Priceline's own air booking-summary archive.
