Doing a simple search in about 5 minutes, unless you're flying out of CA, and a couple other western states, it's far more expensive to fly to Las Vegas than it is to Atlanta.

It's about $150 cheaper for flights from CA to Las Vegas than to Atlanta, but there are far more people who would be paying more to get to Las Vegas than they would to get to Atlanta, which ends up being a net negative, even if it is a positive for some west coast teams.

Atlanta is a major hub--far more so than Las Vegas. I believe Atlanta is the busiest airport in the world. As far as flights and airfare go, Atlanta, LA, Chicago, and NYC are most likely going to be the cheapest, as they're the largest hubs.
