Virgin America celebrated the launch of its new daily nonstop flight service from Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) to Las Vegas McCarran International Airport (LAS) with a red carpet welcome for guests onboard its inaugural flight.

The three daily roundtrip flights will add to the airline’s existing service from San Francisco International Airport (SFO) to LAS and from New York’s Kennedy International Airport (JFK) to LAS.

The airline celebrated with a red carpet welcome for its first LAX-LAS flight guests at the McCarran Airport arrival gate and a launch party at The Chandelier at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas.

“With service named best in the U.

S., Virgin America’s upscale flight experience is a perfect match for those headed to one of the world’s most iconic travel destinations.

Although there is competition in this market, we saw an opportunity to provide travelers not only attractive fares but a better, more stylish flight option,” said David Cush, Virgin America’s President and CEO.

“With our custom-designed cabins, award-winning service and our new Loft at LAX, our guests’ Vegas experience now can begin at the airport.  Whether traveling for escape or to one of the many trade events or conferences hosted here each year, we hope that choosing Virgin America will become one of their better Vegas decisions!”
