It's less than a one-hour flight from Phoenix to Las Vegas on Southwest Airlines.

If you make reservations during one of the airline's frequent sales, you can fly roundtrip for about $100 each. Of course, you could also drive, crossing the 300 miles in about six hours — but why sacrifice the time?

Either way, you'll be transported from desert to desert for your romantic weekend getaway. And if you've got the spirit of fun, you're likely to find the Las Vegas desert a dazzling one.

What's your pleasure: Sightseeing in Las Vegas? Cocooning in one of the best hotels in Las Vegas? There's also shopping... gambling... eating at world-class restaurants... nightclubbing... and catching the shows.

And if you're thinking of tying the knot during your romantic weekend in Las Vegas, well, you wouldn't be the first couple to say "I do" to its amazing wedding chapels.

The best thing about visiting Las Vegas from Phoenix is that you don't have to choose: It's close enough and cheap enough that you can visit as often as you like (and can afford!) for an exciting romantic weekend.
