Breeze Airways Adds New Las Vegas Route And 35% Off Flights For A Limited Time

It's been a while since Las Vegas has had a new airline option. And possibly a money saver, at that. So - more money to enjoy spending while in our fair city!

A discount air carrier, called Breeze Airways, will begin a new Las Vegas route: Nonstop round trips between Las Vegas and western Colorado, twice a week. It begins January 9, 2025.

Breeze Airways is based out of Utah. They are already in Las Vegas, and have nonstop flights to and from 10 locations from Las Vegas' Harry Reid International Airport. Beginning January 9, 2025, they will start flying to and from Grand Junction, Colorado, Thursdays and Sundays. Breeze will fly twin-engine, 137-passenger Airbus A220 jets on this route.

To celebrate their new routes, Breeze is offering 35 percent off roundtrip base fares for flights from August 14 through February 4, 2025. To take advantage, you must book by 11:59 p.m. PT on Friday, July 12. Use the promo code “TRIPLE” at checkout.

As of now, Breeze currently serves 12 destinations from Las Vegas. Those include nine nonstop flights that connect Las Vegas to Akron/Canton, Ohio; Hartford, Connecticut, Gulfport/Biloxi; Mississippi; Huntsville, Alabama; Jacksonville and Fort Myers, Florida; Norfolk and Richmond, Virginia; and Syracuse, New York.

“We have continued to expand our route offerings from Las Vegas," said Breeze CEO, David Neeleman. "We know our guests in the Las Vegas metro area will enjoy more service with added affordability and an elevated travel experience.” He went on to say that "Breeze is all about connecting cities without existing nonstop options.” He's excited about adding cities to Breeze's network, and adding more nonstop routes their west coast destinations - along with an affordable price tag.

Breeze Airways is giving away a year of free travel to one lucky winner and a guest. Make sure you enter by July 21.

Local Las Vegas Beer? Oh we've got it! And lately, have been enjoying some great flights of local craft beer.

If you didn't know, Las Vegas has some really, really good local breweries, and beers. My brother was in town from the east coast earlier in the month, and we hit Las Vegas' Brewery Row, and beyond. I'm a fan of stouts, porters, flavored, and ciders My brother likes hazy's, fruited, and sours.

Able Baker Brewery is very popular. It's located at 1510 S. Main St. They are famous for their Atomic Duck IPA. You can buy it in stores, but on tap is the best. The Waddle and Ducky Trail, are also really nice. Notice a theme?

I really enjoy HUDL Brewing Company as well.  Located at 1327 S. Main Street, they have a great outside patio for people watching, and enjoying a flight. My perfect HUDL flight has to include their Vanilla Oak Cream Ale. Just a touch of vanilla, creamy finish - it's amazing. The High Hatter Pineapple Hefe is also really nice. Tastes like vacation!

Next stop, Hop Nuts Brewing. Located at 1120 S. Main St. Try the Harry Porter. A nice roasty chocolate flavor - very smooth. The Golden Knight has a kick. It's light bodied, but it's a powerful ale.

Craft beers definitely cost a little more, but they are very popular.  I'm not a fan of basic beer, so I'll pay for something different and unique - especially local brews..  The growth of craft beer sales is leveling off, but they're still very popular. And many people are brewing their own beers now. My brother does it, and a couple other friends as well. It's a fun hobby, and in a few weeks, you can enjoy your work!

Beverage companies, and consumers always seem to be searching for the next big thing. Some say NA (non-alcoholic) beers will be the next new thing. Some people want the flavor and feel of beer, but not the buzz, so it would be a great move. Especially since there are so few out there.

Las Vegas has done a nice job with Brewery Row, and you can walk it very easily, while enjoying local brews. But there are so many impressive breweries throughout Las Vegas, Henderson, and Boulder City. Here are some you should definitely try, and my beer suggestions.

Great beer, and really good food! Get some fish and chips, and here's your flight: 1677 Nitro Stout, Chantilly Vanilla Cream Ale, Vacating Helles, and Saison. And then try the Kiwi Krush Cider for desert.

A favorite of mine in beautiful, historic Boulder City. Their food is really good, and on a nice day, just take it easy on the patio. It's laid back, so relax! Honestly, I can't even tell you where to start, because they have some really fun stuff. Their own beers are great, their visiting brews and ciders are awesome, too. They also do blended brews, and they make some great Sangrias. There is truly something for everyone. But DO try the Orange Cream Ale, and the Vanilla Cream Coffee Stout.

Mojave has some fun brews. The Sinamon Toast Crunch Cream Ale, The Holiday Havoc Stout, The Patrick Swhazy, and The To Be Pear Cider are a great start. They also have frozen wine - great option for our Las Vegas summers.
