When to go

Spring (March to May): This is the most popular time to visit Las Vegas, with mild weather and plenty of events. The average temperature ranges from 60 to 85 degrees Fahrenheit (15 to 29 Centigrade). The crowds are also the largest during this time, so expect higher hotel rates.

Summer (June to August): The weather is hot and dry during the summer, with average temperatures ranging from 90 to 110 degrees Fahrenheit (32 to 43 Centigrade). The crowds are smaller than in the spring, but prices are still high.

Autumn (September to November): The weather is mild and pleasant during the fall, with average temperatures ranging from 70 to 90 degrees Fahrenheit (21 to 32 Centigrade). This is a good time to visit if you're looking for lower prices and smaller crowds.

Winter (December to February): The weather is mild and sunny during the winter, with average temperatures ranging from 50 to 70 degrees Fahrenheit (10 to 21 Centigrade). This is a good time to visit if you're looking for a break from the cold weather. However, prices can be high during this time.
