Las Vegas Bucks Trips and Footy Trips Just Got a Whole Lot Easier

Planning a Las Vegas bucks trip or Las Vegas footy trip from Australia just changed forever.

In a historic move, Qantas has announced the first ever nonstop flight between Australia and Las Vegas, cutting travel time by up to 5 hours and removing the need to transit through another US city.

For Australian bucks parties and sporting groups, this is a massive win.

Direct Sydney to Las Vegas Flights Launch December 2026

From December 2026, Qantas will operate a direct Sydney to Las Vegas flight, making Vegas one of the easiest long haul party destinations Australians can book.

Key details for anyone planning a Vegas bucks trip or footy trip:

• Route Sydney to Las Vegas
• Flight number QF55
• Inaugural flight 29 December 2026
• Operating through to 12 March 2027
• Aircraft Boeing 787 Dreamliner
• Services three times per week
• Scheduled flight time approximately 13 hours 55 minutes
• Economy return fares from $1,099

This new service becomes Qantas’ 101st global destination and its eighth city across North and South America.

Why This Is Huge for Las Vegas Bucks Trips

Previously, getting to Vegas meant long layovers through Los Angeles or other US cities. For bucks trips, that often meant losing a full day on each end of the trip.

Now, with a nonstop flight:

• You arrive earlier and fresher
• Shorter trips become viable
• Group logistics are far easier
• Less airport stress for large groups
• More time on the Strip

For groups wanting a high energy Las Vegas bucks party, this makes Vegas one of the most attractive international options available.

Las Vegas Footy Trips Are Officially Back

Las Vegas has already proven itself as a premier destination for Australian sporting fans. The city now hosts major global sporting events, including the NRL season opener, UFC fight weeks and NFL games.

Qantas has operated charter flights in partnership with the NRL for the past two years and for the third year in a row these flights have sold out completely. The demand is already there.

With scheduled direct flights now locked in, Las Vegas footy trips are set to explode in popularity.

Why Australians Love Vegas for Bucks Trips

Las Vegas continues to attract over 250,000 Australians every year, making Australia one of its largest international markets.

For bucks trips, Vegas delivers:

• World class nightlife
• Day clubs and pool parties
• Casinos and sports betting
• Live shows and residencies
• Iconic Strip hotels
• Easy access to the Grand Canyon and Southwest USA

It is one of the few destinations in the world that truly caters to big group energy.
