For those that are willing to gamble well before they get there, Flair Air is showing nonstop flights from Toronto to Las Vegas for $129 to $229 CAD roundtrip including taxes.
The base fare without luggage (personal item only) is $129 CAD roundtrip.
The more realistic price is $229 roundtrip with a piece of carry-on luggage.
Flair is also showing flights to the following U.S. cities for the same price:
Phoenix-Mesa, Arizona (AZA)
Nasvhille, Tennessee (BNA)
Denver, Colorado (DEN)
Orlando-Sanford, Florida (SFB)
Booking with Flair comes with risk. They've been known to drop routes without warning. If a flight is cancelled or delayed they usually don't have an alternative way of getting you to your destination (many routes only have flights 2-3 times a week). This tends to become a larger risk during winter when weather can affect the operations of all airlines.
