The total distance is about 1,990 miles, and typical one-stop itineraries take roughly 6 to 10 hours depending on the layover city and wait time.", "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. Distance is the great-circle distance between the two airports, so the actual flown track is typically 2-5% longer.", "toolsUsed": [ "flight_schedule" ] }, "q3": { "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Las Vegas?", "answer": "Taxis, ride share (Uber and Lyft), rental cars, public buses, shuttles, limousines, and the Vegas Loop are all available at Harry Reid International Airport. Taxis and ride share are the quickest and most convenient options, with designated pickup areas in the parking garages, and they are the most commonly used for trips to the Strip and downtown. Rental cars require a free shuttle to the consolidated rental car center about three miles away. Public buses via RTC Transit (including the Deuce on the Strip) and various shuttles offer lower-cost alternatives, though they are slower.

Booking about 30 days out yields the lowest price at $328, while waiting until the last week or booking more than 4 months ahead tends to cost noticeably more. For summer and holiday periods, demand spikes mean you should book earlier than the 4-6 week window to secure a better fare.", "methodology": "Booking-window guidance comes from the same monthly in-house analysis of Priceline's own air booking-summary archive.

Ride-share apps like Uber are not an option in Cancún, and ADO buses only go to the central bus terminal rather than door-to-door. The fastest and most popular choice is a pre-booked private transfer or official airport taxi, which is more expensive than the ADO bus but cheaper than hailing a taxi on arrival.
