LAS VEGAS (AP) - Discount carrier Spirit Airlines has announced plans to offer daily, nonstop service between Las Vegas and Kansas City.

The company announced Wednesday that the flights would begin Aug. 7. A plane will depart Kansas City at 9:55 p.m. daily and arrive in Las Vegas at 10:55 p.m. local time, while a flight will depart Las Vegas at 1 a.m. daily and arrive in Kansas City at 5:45 a.m.

Kansas City will be the 56th city in Spirit’s network.
