Las Vegas is a desert, so when you go matters more here than in most cities. The good news: the comfortable seasons are easy to remember.
March to May and October to November: the sweet spot
These are the best months for most people. You can walk the Strip in the daytime, spend time outside and still enjoy the pool without feeling worn out by the heat.
Summer: plan around the heat
Summer days are extremely hot. If you go then, keep outdoor plans for early morning or evening, drink plenty of water and treat the air-conditioned resorts as your daytime base. A hotel with a good pool makes a big difference.
Look at the total price, not just the room rate
Resort fees and parking are often charged on top of the room rate. When you compare hotels, check the total for your dates and whether fees are included. It often matters more than the nightly price you see first.
Where to stay
- The Strip: big resorts, casinos, shows and restaurants all in one place.
- Downtown and Fremont Street: older casinos, a more local feel and often cheaper rooms.
- Summerlin: quieter and suburban, near golf and Red Rock Canyon.
Getting around
The Strip is walkable in sections, but resorts are farther apart than they look. Rideshares and the monorail help with the longer distances.
One last thing
Las Vegas works well for weekend trips, shows and groups, as long as you check the final price before you pay.
