Ever wanted to visit Sin City? British Airways is set to launch a brand new three-times-a-week service in October, from London Gatwick to Las Vegas. 

The service will be operated by a three-class Boeing 777, which offers a premium Club World cabin with fully flat beds. The service will begin from October 29th this year, but tickets can be purchased now from the airline's offical website.  

Colm Lacy, British Airways' head of commercial at Gatwick, said: "Las Vegas has proved to be an incredibly popular year-round destination from Heathrow so we are delighted to now be able to offer the route from Gatwick as well.

"This is the kind of destination our leisure customers at Gatwick are looking for and it will complement our existing USA and longhaul leisure network."

When combined with the exisiting Heathrow service, the new flights mean that British Airways will now operate a total of 10 flights a week to Las Vegas.   

Revellers who want to experience life in Sin City can also book hotels and experiences though British Airways. The airline has a wide range of top hotels in Las Vegas on the strip available, from the three-star Riviera Hotel and Casino which has just completed a multi million dollar renovation of the famous and luxurious Bellagio.
