We are vacationing in the Fresno area in October and are flying into Vegas. Does anybody have any thoughts on the best way to travel between the two? All ideas are appreciated

best way to get cheap air tickets

Nobody _vacations_ in Fresno!
Are you flying into Vegas because you got a cheap flight? Just rent a car at the
airport and drive--it_s not
really that far. Use a major
car rental and just turn it in
in fresno.

vacation in Fresno? are you on a budget or something? just go by car. but its a hot boring drive

the drive is about 6 hours. 15 south to 58 west in barstow then 99 north at bakersfield to fresno. not the most interesting drive but not bad if you have someone in the car with you. if time is not an issue the drive is a good choice.
if you want to fly you might be able to score some good deals. freson is a regional airport so you probably won_t find it on any of the big airlines. but regional carriers tend to be cheap when flying short distances.

Interstate 15 south to Highway 58 transition in Barstow. Highway 58 to Highway 99 North. That_s the general road route. If you_re flying then it_s LAS-FAT on several airlines.

Alligiant Air and United (United Express by Skywest), U.S. Airways (Express, and starting 09/02/07 mainline flights) all fly non-stop from Las Vegas to Fresno.

Allegiant Air (they have a web site) out of Fresno is an excellent airline, with very good prices to Vegas, non-stop.

If you drive, it_s interesting if you like the desert landscape. You also save money on a car rental in Vegas. I would not be in that city without a car, rental or my own. It_s way too spread out, and it_s extremely hot. Waiting for a bus or shuttle in the heat is horrible.

If you are in Fresno, do visit the Underground Gardens. That is an amazing and fascinating place, unique in the world. It also has a web site. It_s Fresno_s redeeming feature, in my opinion.
