Chicago to Las Vegas is 1,515 miles, about three and three-quarter hours westbound. Every cabin from a light jet up flies it non-stop, so the choice is about comfort and the size of the group, not range. Las Vegas is two hours behind Chicago: a noon departure lands at about 1.45 pm local time.
In Las Vegas there are three airports to choose from. Harry Reid is ten to fifteen minutes from the Strip. Henderson Executive is quieter, about twenty minutes from the south end of the Strip and closest to Henderson and Lake Las Vegas. North Las Vegas is the shortest drive to Summerlin, suits light jets, and almost always has space on a busy weekend.
This route peaks with the conventions. CES in January and the big autumn trade shows bring Chicago companies west in numbers, and the winter months add the weekend traffic of people leaving the snow behind. Book those dates a week or two ahead.
North Las Vegas Airport is the third private field in the valley and the one to choose for Summerlin, Red Rock and the northwest of the city: fifteen to twenty minutes to the Strip and closer still to Summerlin. There is no scheduled airline service, so the ramp is quick to get through.
Its two main runways are about 5,000 ft long, which suits the light and midsize jets most people fly from Chicago: a Phenom 300, a Citation CJ4, an XLS or a Latitude. Super-midsize and heavy jets go to Harry Reid or Henderson instead. On a fight weekend or during CES, when Harry Reid's ramp is full, North Las Vegas is the field we look at next for a smaller aircraft.
Prices below are indicative one-way figures for the whole aircraft, not per seat. They cover the flight, crew and fuel; de-icing in Chicago, parking in Las Vegas, repositioning and handling are quoted separately once we know your dates.
For a weekend, keeping the aircraft in Las Vegas for two nights usually costs less than two one-way flights. For a convention week, a one-way each way is often better value, and empty legs back to the Midwest come up regularly.
| Cabin | Typical aircraft | Seats | Flight time | One way from |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Light jet | Phenom 300, Citation CJ4 | 6 to 7 | 3h 55m | $20,500 |
| Midsize jet | Citation XLS, Citation Latitude | 8 to 9 | 3h 50m | $24,500 |
| Super-midsize jet | Challenger 350, Praetor 600 | 8 to 9 | 3h 40m | $30,000 |
| Heavy jet | Legacy 650, Falcon 900LX | 12 to 14 | 3h 30m | $41,000 |

Chicago has four airports that suit a private departure. Midway is the closest to the Loop and handles most of them; Chicago Executive in Wheeling serves the North Shore; DuPage covers the western suburbs; O'Hare takes the VIP airliners and the long international flights.
The closest airport to downtown, open around the clock. Its 6,500 ft runways take every cabin on domestic legs; a large jet leaving at maximum weight for a long international flight uses O'Hare.
The North Shore's own airport, with no airline traffic and a quick turn at the FBO. Its 5,000 ft runway suits light and midsize jets; larger cabins are planned case by case.
No weight limits and full customs. Private traffic uses its own FBO on the field, away from the terminals, but taxi times are long at the airline peaks.
Harry Reid puts you on the Strip fastest. Henderson and North Las Vegas trade a few minutes of driving for quieter ramps, which matters on the big event weekends.
Flying private to Las Vegas from anywhere: airports, aircraft and prices
Dedicated private terminals on the west side bypass the commercial concourses entirely. Slots tighten during major events.
Quieter alternative popular with residency and show attendees. Often the easier choice on fight and Grand Prix weekends.
Suited to light jets and turboprops, with strong slot availability and low traffic.
Under four hours is comfortable in a light jet for two to four people. A group heading out for the weekend, with golf clubs and suit bags, fits better in a midsize or super-midsize jet, where you can stand up and the hold takes everything. If you want North Las Vegas for Summerlin, a light or midsize jet is the right size for its runways.
Six or seven seats and just under four hours. A Phenom 300 or Citation CJ4 from a Chicago operator.
See the Phenom 300Eight or nine seats, a stand-up cabin and a hold for the clubs. The most common choice for a group weekend.
See the Citation XLS+Twelve to fourteen seats for a company trip or a celebration. The Legacy 650 in our fleet flies it in about three and a half hours.
See the Legacy 650On these dates aircraft, slots and hotel suites all go early. Booking a week or two ahead is the difference between a choice of aircraft and whatever is left.
Eastbound the flight is about three and a quarter hours with the tailwind, and you lose two hours. A noon departure from Las Vegas lands at Midway at about 5.15 pm Chicago time.
Sunday afternoon and the morning after a big fight are the busiest departure windows at Harry Reid. We book the return slot with the outbound, and in winter we watch the Chicago forecast so the arrival airport can switch from Chicago Executive to Midway before you take off.
Indicative one-way prices for the whole aircraft start at about $20,500 in a light jet, $24,500 in a midsize jet, $30,000 in a super-midsize jet and $41,000 in a heavy jet. A weekend with the aircraft waiting usually costs less than two one-way flights.
About three hours forty-five westbound and three and a quarter hours back. Las Vegas is two hours behind Chicago.
Yes, in a light or midsize jet. North Las Vegas Airport (VGT) is fifteen to twenty minutes from the Strip and the closest field to Summerlin. Its runways are about 5,000 ft, so super-midsize and heavy jets land at Harry Reid or Henderson instead.
Midway for most departures, twenty-five minutes from the Loop. Chicago Executive in Wheeling is closer to the North Shore. O'Hare is for VIP airliners and the largest groups.
Yes. CES in January and the large trade shows fill Harry Reid's private ramp days ahead. On those dates we usually land at Henderson or North Las Vegas and book a week or two out.
