Alaska Airlines will offer daily service from SLO County Airport to Las Vegas.

A Central Coast airport will once again have direct flights to Las Vegas.

Alaska Airlines is adding San Luis Obispo to Las Vegas service starting October 27.

The airport is served by Alaska, American, and United Airlines, with flights to more than a half dozen cities, including Seattle, San Diego, Dallas, Phoenix, and Denver.
