Does anyone have any details/insider info on more flights to Nola, BR or Laf on Monday after the game?

I've been holding out hope for $500 or less per ticket, but we are getting pretty close.

Even if they add Monday it will still be cheaper coming back Tues because of holiday

Genuine question: did you book a flight to Vegas, a hotel room, and tickets to the game, but not a return flight?

If you're willing to do overnight flights, they're cheaper than $200 one way.

ITA Matrix (no SWA)

However, it looks like you'd be connecting (in FL, DC, etc., sometimes) and each flight would be a minimum of 9.5 hours in length for the under $400 tickets.

The most reasonable flight looks to be this:
as Vegas (LAS) to New Orleans (MSY) on Mon, Sep 2
4:12 PM to 9:44 PM (3h 32m)
Spirit 1064
Airbus A320neo
Economy (Y)
It's listed at $419.

Too many posters do not get that it is a holiday weekend for some reason

Yeah, this is pretty eye opening I guess for a lot of people to realize that this trip is not going to be cheap.
Looks like a lot of people must have gotten excited about the idea of going to this game and purchased tickets, but are now seeing reality and are having to sell these tickets. Tons of tickets for sell on the market.

I calculated it was cheaper to stay and fly home Wednesday morning.

Fly Breeze from Gulfport to Vegas. Looked at doing this for our LV trip last spring. Rates were very competitive. Flight is only available Monday and Friday.

A buddy of mine is flying spirit back to NoLa on Monday morning. Leaves around 5am and gets in town around 3pm with a stop in Miami. Said the total time is 8 hours. The flight was $205 when he booked.

Just go for drinks after the game and then head to the airport.

Yeah saw that option and several similar, trying to decide if we should just party all night and sleep on the flight back home.
