Default Airfare to Vegas still affordable

Roundtripper from a MN city cost me $210 for my October trip and $190.50 for December trip. These are bottom line prices that include all fees and taxes. I do not check bags (carry on only) or get assigned seating because those are both extra cost options.
Very good prices for direct flights, in my opinion.
I'm omitting the departure city and airline name to avoid being called a spammer but if I get a green light from Ken, I will post both.
Just trying to help other members save a few bucks.

Airfares are cheaper. American Airlines might be one to check also, they are having specials until Feb. Future flight to Europe is about $300 cheaper than the one I took 6 months ago.

Plus it looks like now until the Christmas the Vegas Casinos are BEGGING for customers. Should be able to wrangle good room rates and good comps.

Airfare from NYC is up quite a bit from last year. If I searched, I could find an occasional $99 or $119 fare. Now it's rare to find anything under $149 each way. Then you have the $25 fee for a second bag, curbside check in fee, $20 fee for the seats with more legroom, ect, ect.
What was a $225 round trip just a few years ago is over $400 these days.
If you are getting cheaper fares in your city, enjoy them. I doubt they will last.
When jet fuel was so high this summer, the airlines moved quickly to raise fees. Now fuel is down, but the fees remain the same.
