Traveling from Central Oregon to the bright lights and slot machines of Las Vegas just got easier.
Avelo Airlines announced June 22 direct flights between the Redmond Airport and Las Vegas. The airline’s Boeing 737 will fly between the two cities starting on Sept. 7. The route will operate twice a week, heading in both directions on Thursdays and Sundays.
