London-Gatwick, U.K.

How much: Virgin Atlantic round-trip flights start at $1,544. Why you should go: You need to know two things about London: You’re going to love it, and it’s going to cost twice as much as you think. See the Ferris wheel that inspired Vegas’ Ferrismania, the London Eye. Catch a show at a West End theater, and shop along Oxford Street. Then come back with a deeper appreciation of Vegas’ low cost of living.

Frankfurt, Germany
