British Airways, an airline that annually flies 36 million passengers and has flights connecting six continents, will begin daily service between London's Heathrow International Airport and Las Vegas this fall.

British Airways would be making its first foray into Las Vegas. The airline already has flights to 18 airports in the United States, including Phoenix Sky Harbor International, Denver International, Los Angeles International, San Francisco International and Seattle-Tacoma International in the West.

Great Britain is the No. 3 provider of foreign tourists to Las Vegas behind Canada and Mexico, according to the LVCVA.
