About the Orlando to Las Vegas route
A flight between Orlando and Las Vegas spans most of the country, with about 2,040 miles and several time zones separating the two airports. Plan for a long travel day, particularly if you connect.
Flight time and distance
A typical flight takes about 4 h 35 min gate to gate, with a realistic range of 4 h 20 min to 5 h 05 min depending on wind, routing and aircraft. That is an estimate based on the distance of roughly 2,040 miles (3,280 km), not a published schedule. Flights heading west usually take noticeably longer than flights heading east because of prevailing winds aloft, so the return flight can differ by 30 minutes or more.
Las Vegas is 3 hours behind Orlando on standard time, so the arrival time on your ticket will look different from the flight duration.
Among the 200 routes in our guides, MCO to LAS is longer than about 66% of them.
For comparison, Orlando to Denver (MCO to DEN) is about 1,540 miles, so Las Vegas is a bit farther out from MCO.

Airlines on this route
No single carrier we cover has hubs at both MCO and LAS. Southwest Airlines (at LAS) and JetBlue Airways (at MCO) each operate a large network at one end, so many itineraries on this route connect rather than fly nonstop.
Nonstop availability on any route can shift from one season to the next, so treat this as a guide to who is likely to serve the market, not a timetable.

Connecting itineraries on this route often look like Southwest Airlines via Denver (DEN), which adds about 140 miles (7% beyond the direct distance) or JetBlue Airways via Fort Lauderdale (FLL), which adds about 310 miles (15% beyond the direct distance). Choose the connection with the best weather odds for your travel month and leave a comfortable layover; our layover guide explains how much time is realistic.
