Orlando to Las Vegas Flights

The Orlando International Airport

The Orlando International Airport is one of the twenty busiest airports in the country, accommodating more than thirty-five million travellers each year. The airport is located at One Jeff Fuqua Boulevard, which is just twelve miles south-east of Orlando, nineteen miles north-east of Kissimmee, and twenty miles north-east of Lake Buena Vista, home of Walt Disney World. Forty domestic and international carriers service the airport, offering direct flights to eighty-four cities in the United States and thirty-four destinations abroad. When you're ready to take a holiday, visit ebookers, where you'll be able to purchase your air tickets and reserve a hotel room and rental car at affordable prices.

Parking at Orlando Airport

There are a variety of parking options at Orlando airport, ranging from kerbside valet parking at $25 per day to the North Park Place economy lots at only $10 per day. If you have an early morning flight, consider spending the night at the on-site Hyatt Regency Orlando International Airport, which offers short- and long-term parking for hotel guests for $12 to $16 per night. All parking rates at Orlando airport include applicable taxes. There are several off-site parking options that offer free shuttle service to the airport, but they are not always as affordable or convenient as what you will find at the airport.

Ground Transportation in the Orlando Area

Orlando's public bus system is the most economical way to get to the airport, as it offers one-way rates of $2 from downtown Orlando and $4 from the Walt Disney World theme parks. If you are carrying a lot of luggage, consider using Mears Transportation (407-423-5566), which offers shuttle services for $18 to $29 from downtown Orlando. A taxi is the most convenient option, and you should expect to pay a flat rate of $35 from downtown. While you're thinking about transportation, head over to ebookers and reserve a rental car that you can pick up at your final destination.

Restaurants at Orlando Airport

While you're waiting for your flight, grab a bite at one of the airport's many eateries. The level 3 food court is home to Starbucks, Krispy Kreme, and Seattle's Best, while the individual terminal areas offer restaurants such as Au Bon Pain, Brioche Doree, and ZaZa Cuban Coffee. Grab something on your way to the airport by stopping at one of the nearby restaurants such as Dixie Belle's Café at 7125 South Orange Avenue or Dunkin Donuts at 10395 Narcoossee Road in Orlando.

Arrival in Las Vegas

McCarran International Airport is remarkably close to Las Vegas, so depending on where visitors are staying in the city it is within easy walking distance. For most flights Las Vegas passengers will be bringing baggage so they will probably need transport between the airport and hotel. They can, therefore, hire a car at McCarran International Airport, take a taxi, bus or use the monorail.

Holidaymakers taking flights to Las Vegas will be visiting one of the greatest gambling and entertainment centres in the United States, if not the world. Not only is the city filled with plush casinos, some of the top entertainers in the world regularly appear at its venues. The Caesars Palace arena has even played host to major sporting events, such as world title fights.

Las Vegas is a city that operates at full throttle 24/7, allowing visitors to hit the slot machines and gaming tables around the clock. The city is a favourite among honeymooners and, in fact, many couples come to get married in its many wedding chapels. One of the most famous of these is the Graceland Wedding Chapel where the ceremony includes Elvis Presley impersonators. A Las Vegas holiday also offers plenty to see. One of the most impressive sights, and well worth a visit, is the 110 storey Stratosphere Tower.
