Why it's a deal: In a recent Kayak search, we found a $119 round-trip flight between San Francisco and Las Vegas for travel in mid-November (Virgin America). A three-night stay at the Luxor will cost about $210 per person, including taxes and fees. So booking independently, you would expect to pay about $329 per person. This package is $273 per person with all taxes included—a savings of about $56.

More: Add nights at the Luxor from $25 per person. Hotel upgrades are available; add $40 per person for the MGM Grand Hotel & Casino and $150 per person for the Bellagio.
