Las Vegas Gas Prices Hit Record High | Las Vegas News

Gas prices are hitting record highs this Labor Day weekend, especially in Las Vegas, where regular unleaded averages $4.90 a gallon — up 10 cents from last week and over a dollar higher than last year. Nationwide, prices sit at $4.14, already surpassing the previous Labor Day record from 2012. Diesel is even worse, averaging $6.08 in the valley. The surge? Blamed on soaring crude oil costs driven by tensions in the Strait of Hormuz — and yes, even with lower demand this time of year, prices keep climbing. Vegas is still packed with travelers, especially those coming from Southern California, so expect heavy traffic on I-15 between 10 AM and 3 PM on Labor Day. Fill up early, plan for delays, and brace for the most expensive holiday road trip yet. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
