Southwest Airlines flies to Las Vegas from Los Angeles, Burbank, Orange County or Ontario. They often have the cheapest airfare, but don't participate in any of the online travel sites, so you have to check directly with their website, where you can also find hotel and airfare packages that make planning your trip easy.
