Observed Fare Range: JFK, EWR, and LGA to Las Vegas
greenspicks pulled Travelpayouts fares on June 19, 2026 and observed one-way prices ranging from $122 to $257 across JFK, EWR, and LGA departures. The carriers that appeared in our search results included JetBlue, Frontier, United, American, and Southwest.
These are individual cached observations across different travel dates between July and September 2026, not an airline-versus-airline ranking. A $122 fare on one date does not mean that airline will always be cheapest. The table below shows representative fares from our research to give you a sense of the pricing spread.

Which NYC Airport Has the Cheapest Flights to Vegas?
Our editorial team searched 3 route-date combinations and all 3 returned cached fares. Here is what we observed for each NYC-area airport:
Newark (EWR): 43 fares observed, ranging $122 to $257 one-way. The lowest observed fare was $122 on Frontier departing August 30, 2026, with a 577-minute travel time indicating a connection. EWR also showed 18 nonstop observations, with nonstop fares starting at $138 on United.
JFK: 43 fares observed, ranging $124 to $255 one-way. The lowest observed fare was $124 on Frontier departing August 18, 2026, with a 660-minute duration. JFK had the most nonstop observations at 39, with the cheapest nonstop at $125 on JetBlue.
LaGuardia (LGA): 43 fares observed, ranging $124 to $223 one-way. The lowest observed was $124 on Frontier departing September 1, 2026. All LGA observations involved at least one connection, meaning no nonstops appeared in our data for this airport pair.

Airlines Flying NYC to Las Vegas: What the Data Showed
greenspicks reviewed Travelpayouts results on June 19, 2026 and observed fares on JetBlue, Frontier, United, American, and Southwest. Each airline appeared at different price points depending on the travel date and departure airport. These are individual observations, not a controlled price comparison.
Frontier: Observed fares ranged from $122 (EWR, August 30) to $136 (LGA, September 15). Frontier consistently showed the lowest headline fares, but all Frontier observations involved connections with travel times ranging from 547 to 1,695 minutes.
JetBlue: Observed fares ranged from $125 (JFK, August 16) to $139 (JFK, July 26). JetBlue operated nonstops from JFK with flight times around 343 to 349 minutes. If you want a nonstop without paying significantly more, JetBlue showed the most competitive nonstop pricing in our data.
United: Observed fares ranged from $138 (EWR, August 20) to $140 (EWR, August 28). United operated nonstops from EWR with flight times as short as 323 minutes, the shortest observed duration in our data.
Southwest: One observed fare at $137 from LGA on August 19, 2026, with a 580-minute travel time indicating a connection.
American: American appeared in our airline results but specific fares in the low-price range were not among the top observations displayed. American fares were observed in the broader dataset.
Nonstop vs. Connecting Flights: Duration and Price Tradeoffs
The cheapest observed fares typically came with longer travel times due to connections. Understanding this tradeoff helps you decide whether saving a few dollars is worth several extra hours in transit.
The lowest observed fare of $122 on Frontier from EWR had a 577-minute total duration. The $124 Frontier fare from JFK ran 660 minutes. Both indicate layovers that stretch your travel day significantly. Some Frontier connections in our data ran over 1,400 minutes, meaning full-day ordeals with long layovers.
By contrast, the shortest observed duration was 323 minutes on United from EWR, a nonstop priced at $140. JetBlue nonstops from JFK ran around 343 to 349 minutes with fares starting at $125.
The gap between the cheapest connecting fare ($122) and the cheapest nonstop ($125) was only $3 in our data. That $3 saved you over 200 minutes of travel time. Run the math on your own time before automatically picking the lowest headline fare.

Compare all three NYC airports
JFK, EWR, and LGA all serve Las Vegas with different airline mixes and fare levels. In our data, EWR had the lowest single fare but JFK had more nonstop options. Run separate searches for each airport before committing.

Use flexible date searches
Our data showed sub-$130 fares scattered across July, August, and September. If your travel dates have any flexibility, use a fare calendar view to spot the cheapest departure days.

Hidden Costs to Watch: Bags, Seats, and Fees
The fares in this article are base ticket prices only. Ancillary fees can significantly change your total cost, especially on ultra-low-cost carriers. Our fare data did not include baggage, seat selection, or other add-on fees, so you will need to check current policies on each airline’s website before booking.
Frontier: Typically charges for carry-on bags (anything that does not fit under the seat) and checked bags. Seat selection is also a paid add-on. A $122 base fare can increase substantially once you add bags.
JetBlue: Blue Basic fares may exclude overhead bin access. Check the fare class details before booking if you plan to bring more than a personal item.
United: Basic Economy restricts seat selection and may limit carry-on bags depending on the fare. Read the fare rules carefully.
Southwest: Includes two free checked bags, which can make their fares more competitive once you factor in luggage.
For current checked bag fees across carriers, consult the DOT Baggage Fee Dashboard. For carry-on and seat policies, check each airline’s official website directly. Once you land, reference our guide to Las Vegas car rental at Harry Reid Airport for ground transport options.
