Flights to Las Vegas with Points & Companion Pass
We are flying Southwest Airlines to Las Vegas from Nashville. I booked both mine and my husband’s tickets for free on points. We both have the Southwest Companion Pass. So each of our kids flies free with us. We pay $11.20 per person for each of our round-trip tickets in taxes.
Family-Friendly Hotels in Las Vegas Using Points
I booked a room at Hyatt Place in Vegas for the first few nights of our trip. I usually get two rooms. I might add another if I have the points, but right now we have one room booked for two nights on 24,000 points.
How to Book Caesars & Paris Las Vegas with Wyndham Points
Even though I don’t think they will love it, I decided to stay on the Strip a few nights. I was able to find some cheap rooms via Caesar’s. Then I remembered I had some Wyndham points from when I got the Wyndham Business Earner Card. I transferred these points from Wyndham to Caesars. This process took about 2 weeks. I transferred 52,000 points. Thanks to the sale going on at the time. I could book two rooms in Paris Las Vegas for 3 nights of our trip for free.
Rental Cars for Vegas Day Trips on Points
Since we want to spend most of our time outside of Vegas, we need a car for this trip. I had a $250 credit for signing up for the Capital One Venture card. I was able to use this credit to book our rental car for free.
