The cheapest way to book it on points is usually Atmos Rewards from 12,500 points one-way on Alaska, with $5.60 in taxes.

How each airline prices Maui to Las Vegas
Every program uses its own method, which is why the same seat can cost very different amounts. Here's the math for each program that books this trip, cheapest first:
- Southwest Rapid Rewards (on Southwest): Tied to the cash fare. Southwest has no award chart: the points price is the cash fare divided by about 1.3–1.4 cents, so a $100 fare is roughly 7,000–7,500 points. Around 8,000 is typical on a sale fare for this trip.
- Atmos Rewards (on Alaska): Distance chart. Atmos prices Alaska and Hawaiian flights by miles flown. The 2,692-mile nonstop falls in the 2,101–3,500-mile band: from 12,500 economy, 30,000 first. These are starting prices; popular dates price higher.
- Cathay Asia Miles (on Alaska): Distance chart, whole trip. Cathay Asia Miles prices American and Alaska flights by total distance. The 2,692-mile nonstop falls in the 751–2,750-mile band: 15,000 economy, 33,000 business.
- Avianca LifeMiles (on United, 1 stop): Unpublished chart. LifeMiles doesn't publish its prices for United flights and changed them without notice in 2025. About 15,000 is what it has been charging for a trip like this; check lifemiles.com before you transfer.
- Delta SkyMiles (on Delta, 1 stop): Dynamic pricing. Delta sets the price of its own flights by demand, like a cash fare; there's no chart. About 15,000 is the lowest economy price seen to Hawaii on off-peak dates, and about 40,000 in first. Busy dates can cost several times more.
- Air France-KLM Flying Blue (on Delta, 1 stop): Dynamic pricing. Flying Blue prices Delta flights by demand, with no chart, and since September 2026 the price also depends on the fare type you pick. Trips this long have been seen as low as 17,500 in economy, often below SkyMiles for the same seat. Taxes are higher, about $20–30.
- AAdvantage (on American, 1 stop): Dynamic pricing. American sets the price of its own flights by demand, like a cash fare; there's no chart. About 20,000 is the lowest economy price seen to Hawaii on off-peak dates. Busy dates can cost several times more.
- British Airways Avios (on Alaska): Distance chart, per flight. British Airways charges each flight separately by its length. The 2,692-mile nonstop falls in the 2,001–3,000-mile band of the chart BA uses for American and Alaska flights: about 22,000 economy, 55,000 business/first. A connection would be two charges, so it's quoted for nonstops only.
- Air Canada Aeroplan (on United, 1 stop): Distance chart. Aeroplan prices United flights within North America by total distance. With a connection, the trip flies about 3,096 miles (vs 2,692 miles direct), which falls in the 2,751+-mile band: from 22,500 economy, 35,000 business, plus a booking fee of about $30. That's the starting price; United can release seats above it.
- United MileagePlus (on United, 1 stop): Dynamic pricing. United sets the price of its own flights by demand, like a cash fare; there's no chart. About 22,500 is the lowest economy price seen to Hawaii on off-peak dates, and about 45,000 in first. Busy dates can cost several times more.
- Qantas Frequent Flyer (on Alaska): Distance chart, whole trip. Qantas adds up every flight in the trip and prices the total, so a short connection doesn't add a second charge. The 2,692-mile nonstop falls in the 2,401–3,600-mile band: 23,300 economy, 68,400 business, on American or Alaska.
- Turkish Miles&Smiles (on United, 1 stop): Zone chart. Turkish charges one flat price for United flights to or from Hawaii, whatever the distance: 25,000 economy, 40,000 business.

What it's worth
A useful test: bank points are worth about 1.5 cents each when you could use them elsewhere. So 12,500 points is a good deal when the cash fare is above about $194. On Maui–Las Vegas, that's common on busy dates and in the last few weeks before travel, when fares jump and fixed award charts don't. For a premium seat, 30,000 points pays off when the cash fare tops about $456. See our points valuations for each program.

Finding availability
- Book early. Schedules open about 330–337 days ahead on the US airlines. Saver seats are easiest to find in the first few weeks and again in the last two weeks if planes aren't full.
- Search the airline's own site first. Southwest.com, alaskaair.com and united.com show the seat; then price the same flight with each partner program.
- Use flexible-date calendars. One day either side often halves a dynamic price.
- Transfer last. Bank transfers are one-way. Find the seat, then move exactly the points you need.
- When to go: March–May and October–November are warm but not extreme; summer regularly exceeds 105°F, and hotel prices spike during big conventions (CES in January) and fight or race weekends.
Who should do it
- Anyone holding Chase Ultimate Rewards, Bilt Points, Amex Membership Rewards and Capital One miles: they move into these programs.
- Atmos Rewards members who already have miles in the account.
- Travelers with fixed dates on busy weeks, when cash fares spike but chart prices hold.
- Families on a budget: Southwest Rapid Rewards points cost roughly the fare in cents, with free changes.
What to do in Las Vegas
- The Las Vegas Strip: A 4-mile stretch of Las Vegas Boulevard lined with casino resorts, shows and the Bellagio's free fountain show.
- Sphere: An entertainment venue near the Venetian with a wraparound interior screen, hosting films and concert residencies.
- Fremont Street Experience: A pedestrian mall in historic downtown Las Vegas covered by a LED canopy with nightly light shows.
- Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area: A 13-mile scenic drive through red sandstone about 30 minutes west; timed-entry reservations are required Oct 1–May 31 for 8 a.m.–5 p.m. entry.
- Hoover Dam: A 1930s dam on the Colorado River about 45 minutes from the Strip, with visitor center and power plant tours.
Getting around: On the Strip, use walkways, the Las Vegas Monorail and rideshare; rent a car only for Red Rock, Hoover Dam or Valley of Fire.
Hotels you can book on points: Bellagio (MGM Collection with Marriott Bonvoy) (Marriott), Waldorf Astoria Las Vegas (Hilton) and Conrad Las Vegas at Resorts World (Hilton).
