When to go?

Las Vegas is very hot in summer, with temperatures regularly over 100F. A hotel pool offers welcome relief from the heat. Winter is cool at night, but daytimes are pleasantly warm although perhaps not warm enough for sunbathing. The best time to visit for the weather is March-May, and September – November when the temperatures are a little cooler than the summer months and prices are cheaper too!
