Opa-locka to the Strip by late afternoon
Miami to Las Vegas is 2,170 miles. A super-midsize jet flies it non-stop in about five hours. Heavy and ultra-long-range cabins are slightly faster and quieter; a midsize jet refuels in Texas and lands about an hour later for a lower price.
The three-hour time difference favours an afternoon departure. Leave Opa-locka after lunch and land at Harry Reid by early evening. Private terminals on the west side bypass the commercial concourses, with the Strip ten to fifteen minutes away. On fight and Grand Prix weekends, Henderson is the quieter arrival.
Both cities host many aircraft. A same-day departure is usually possible, and a round trip typically costs less than two one-way flights.
