Houston–Las Vegas Flights

Roughly 1,220 miles separate Houston's George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH) and Las Vegas' Harry Reid International Airport (LAS), so a nonstop spends about 2h55 in the air, a little more or less depending on winds and direction. Nonstop award space in the data comes from a single airline: United Airlines. The Boeing 737-900ER shows up on those nonstop award segments. Nonstops make up all of the award options in the data, which makes a direct award a realistic target.

Best Ways to Book With Points & Miles

For Houston–Las Vegas, the cash fare is the benchmark an award has to beat. The cheapest economy seat is a partner award on a United Airlines nonstop, so the lowest price is also the quickest trip. Taxes and fees on that seat run about $10, in line with the route's typical economy taxes. If the cash price is modest, buying the ticket is often the better trade. Before moving bank points anywhere, confirm the seat is bookable, since transfers are one-way.

Best Points & Miles Programs

Virgin Australia Velocity is the only program pricing Houston–Las Vegas: economy at 19,000 points on a United Airlines nonstop.

Airlines & Routing Options

United Airlines is the only airline with nonstop award space on Houston–Las Vegas in the data. Only one airline shows award inventory on the route, priced through Virgin Australia Velocity.

Alternative Airports & Routes

Neither Houston nor Las Vegas shows a same-metro alternate airport in the data, so the live price table above is the one to watch. Related award routes at last check: Honolulu to Las Vegas from 25,000 points and Houston to Bogota from 19,000.

Booking tips

  1. 1Search flexible dates first, since saver award seats can appear on scattered days.
  2. 2Compare partner programs before transferring points, since the same seat can price very differently.
  3. 3Check both direct and connecting options when direct award seats are limited.
  4. 4Book early for peak travel periods, when saver space disappears fastest.
  5. 5Recheck availability often, since airlines may release more award seats closer to departure.
