The 3,207 km between LAS and CUN converts to 4.44 hours of flying under the 850 km/h + 40 min model. Each stopover adds ground dwell at the hub, so the totals model out to about 7.9 hours for one stop and 11.9 for two.
At 3,207 km the sector sits in the everyday long-haul band: a non-stop is the benchmark, and connections only make sense when the fare saving clears a couple of hundred dollars. Between UTC−8 and UTC−6 you gain a 2-hour head start on the day — worth remembering when you schedule the first dinner or call.

Fewer than two fields sit within 300 km of Cancún, so the radius was widened to 700 km.

Cancún has no large alternative airport within 700 km in the dataset, so the LAS → CUN routing has no practical substitute endpoint. That leaves LAS → CUN as the only sensible air routing, which concentrates fare power in a single search.
None of these nearby fields has a paired calculator page from LAS yet, so use the distance and time columns to estimate any rerouting yourself. Ground transfer from the alternative airport back into Cancún is the catch for arrivals off the LAS service: the 0 km back-offset is time you must win back in fare savings.
From touchdown to day one in Cancún
Put a departure hour on the math: wheels-up at 10:00 from LAS puts you on the ground at CUN around 16:26 local time, once the 2-hour gain is applied. Hotel, meal and transit averages put a Cancún day at $165 against $210 in Las Vegas — worth weighing against any fare premium for better flight times.
A $45 per-day gap favors staying longer in Cancún and moving on from Las Vegas quickly. The modest 2-hour eastbound shift keeps the Las Vegas–Cancún trip easy to absorb.
