Raleigh to Vegas: the aircraft decides the stop

Raleigh to Las Vegas is 2,020 miles westbound, which puts it at the edge of what a light jet can do. A Phenom 300 or Citation CJ4 makes the trip with one fuel stop, usually in Kansas or Oklahoma, for about half an hour on the ground. From a long-range midsize such as the Citation Latitude upwards, the flight is non-stop in about five hours.

Las Vegas is three hours behind Raleigh. A noon departure from Raleigh-Durham lands at Harry Reid at about 2 pm local time, in time for an afternoon by the pool and a show that evening. For quieter arrivals there is Henderson Executive, twenty minutes from the south Strip, and North Las Vegas for Summerlin.

Groups from the Triangle make up much of this traffic: conventions, bachelor and birthday weekends, and golf trips that pair Pinehurst in the spring with the desert courses in the winter. For a party of six or more, the super-midsize cabin is where the price per head starts to make sense.

What the flight costs

Prices below are indicative one-way figures for the whole aircraft, not per seat. They include the flight, crew, fuel and any fuel stop; parking in Las Vegas, repositioning and handling are quoted separately once we know your dates.

Fewer large-cabin aircraft are based in Raleigh than in New York or Dallas, so a super-midsize or heavy jet may fly in from another city first. We quote that cost upfront, and look for an aircraft already heading west to keep it down.

Aircraft that cross the country in one go

Five hours is long enough that cabin size matters more than on a short hop. A light jet saves money but adds a stop. A midsize jet with long range, such as the Latitude, flies it non-stop with a flat floor and six feet of headroom. A super-midsize adds a wider cabin, a galley and seats that recline for a sleep. Heavy jets suit groups of ten or more.

When Las Vegas fills up

On 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.

  1. January CES The largest convention of the year. Harry Reid slots and FBO parking go first; Henderson is the pressure valve.
  2. May EDC Las Vegas Late-night traffic around the Speedway. Plan a Henderson or North Las Vegas arrival.
  3. November Las Vegas Grand Prix Strip road closures make airport choice and ground transport the whole game. We arrange both together.
  4. December National Finals Rodeo Ten days of near-capacity hotels and steady private traffic.
  5. Fight weekends Championship boxing and UFC Announced a few weeks out and instantly busy. Light jets are the quickest to secure.
  6. New Year's Eve The Strip fireworks Book the return before the outbound; the morning of 1 January is the tightest departure window of the year.

Las Vegas to Raleigh

Eastbound with the tailwind, the flight drops to about four hours fifteen in a midsize jet, and light jets often make it without a stop. You lose three hours, so a 10 am departure from Harry Reid lands at Raleigh-Durham around 5.15 pm.

After a fight or a holiday weekend, Harry Reid's departure queue can run long; we book the return slot with the outbound and use Henderson when Harry Reid is full.
