Insider timing tips
- •Avoid July and August if you dislike extreme heat; temperatures regularly exceed 38°C.
- •Spring (March-April) and Fall (October-November) offer the most pleasant weather but coincide with peak crowds and prices due to holidays and conventions.
- •While Vegas is a year-round destination, the shoulder seasons of September and May offer a balance of good weather and slightly fewer crowds than the absolute peak.
- •The desert's dry climate means humidity is rarely an issue, even during the hottest months, but heat exhaustion is a significant risk outdoors.
- •'Slow season' is a relative term; even in summer, the constant influx of conventions and events keeps many hotels at moderate occupancy and prices.
