Why Canada to Vegas is the Best Bet

So, you're looking at going to Vegas again soon, and you're wondering if it's still worth heading down to Minot or Grand Forks to catch your flight.

My answer is no.

Considering the current exchange rate, you are better to book and pay in Canadian dollars. Save your (cheap) gas and just cruise over to the local airport rather than travel 3 hours to the North Dakota airport.

There is a Winnipeg package, with direct flights to and from Las Vegas. You can stay at a premium hotel, mid-strip for about $420. Converted to American funds, you would have to find a package at $350 or less US funds to be "equal."

If you prefer to go out of Brandon, you won't have a direct flight, and you will need to add an overnight in Calgary on the way home. But that might be fun.
