CheapTickets puts Las Vegas flight + hotel packages on sale this winter

Las Vegas hotel deals abound right now but CheapTickets is upping the ante by offering a little more incentive to fly instead of drive to Vegas. They announced a sale Monday that offers an extra $75 off flight plus three-night hotel packages on the Strip.

Deal: Use promo code “CTXVEGAS” to get the $75 off sale when you book a flight plus hotel package to Vegas on their site. I tested flights from Los Angeles (LAX) to Las Vegas (LAS) staying at the Luxor in a pyramid deluxe room (pictured) midweek in December (Dec. 16-19). The CheapTickets price came to a total of $449 for two people, including taxes and fees.

Since prices are so low right now and that’s a ways off, I tested prices with flights on Southwest and booking directly with the Luxor. That self-booked package, for the same dates, came to $506, including taxes and fees. By booking through CheapTickets I would’ve saved $57, but I would’ve given up a little flexibility on flight times. However, I’d gain $25 dining credit and a $25 spa credit as part of their deal.

Tip: If you don’t want to stay at the Luxor, don’t sweat it. CheapTickets had similar prices for New York New York, Planet Hollywood and TI; less expensive packages at the Rio, Golden Nugget, Harrah’s, Excalibur, Monte Carlo — as well as packages for luxe hotels such as Palazzo and Trump.

When: Book by Nov. 23 for travel now through Jan. 31, 2009
