The trick to Vegas is getting up at the crack of dawn and trying for the first flight on Sunday. Rev pax always oversleep and miss this flight. My better half and I do vegas overnights from MSP about every couple months. Out on the last flight on Saturday night and back to MSP on the first morning flight on Sunday. Only one time in have we ever had to make other arrangments.... Like my signature says ...if you dont try..you dont fly
To drive from LAX instead of flying is just Blasphemy ! LOL
