KAM---When I fly to Las Vegas(LAS), LAX or Phoenix(PHX). I always look for flights out of Columbus(CMH) Pittsburgh(PIT) or Akron-Canton(CAK). Flights out of PIT to LAS were about $200 a few days ago with no weekend stay. Pittsburgh would be about two hours from you down Route 11 to the turnpike compared to one hour or more to Hopkins.
