Flying from Denver International
Denver International sits 25 miles northeast of downtown Denver — a deliberately remote site that allows for six runways and almost unlimited expansion. The A Line commuter train runs every 15 minutes from the airport directly to Union Station downtown in 37 minutes for $10.50. United dominates the schedule with its largest non-Newark hub; Southwest and Frontier add heavy domestic capacity. Snow disruption is common between November and March, but the airport's ground-stop policy is faster than ORD's.
Arriving in Las Vegas
Las Vegas's Harry Reid International is 5 miles south of the central Strip — a five-minute taxi ride to most resorts. There is no rail; the airport shuttle, taxis, monorail-shuttle hybrid and rideshare handle the volume. Convention-week demand spikes (CES in January, NAB in April, Magic Apparel in February) push fares 2–3× their normal levels. Tuesday and Wednesday departures and arrivals are routinely the cheapest.
