Las Vegas Weather - Temperatures
When should you visit?

By , About.com Guide

If you’re sitting in front of your computer thinking about how much better it would be if you were in Las Vegas well then you’re probably right. The truth is, it’s always the right time to go but some months are actually better than others. First off, if you’re looking to spend the least amount of money on accommodations then you should consider the summer months. With the blistering heat, hotels usually give away rooms. (not really, but chances are you can find a better deal) Compare prices on Las Vegas Hotels before you book a room. A little effort can save you a lot of money.

Las Vegas weather by month

I love sitting by the pool reading a good book and having a few cocktails. During June, July and August you can sit out as long as you can handle it. Actually, the trick is to alternate between the shallow end of the pool and your lounge chair. Add a couple of cocktails and a club sandwich and you can truly relax. Sometimes, I sneak in Pastrami on Rye from the Carnegie Deli at the Mirage, but that’s just me. While the summer months bring in the heat they are prime for relaxing by the pool and strolling the strip at night. Evenings bring in the dry summer heat at around the mid seventies.

During the winter, temperatures have a tendency to drop into the thirties at night but manage to hover around the upper fifties to low sixties during the day. If you’re trying to avoid the winter shoveling of snow, Las Vegas rarely gets any of it.

Need a Las Vegas vacation? Check last minute deals at Expedia.com. Just because you want to leave in the next 24 hours does not mean you should pay extra. Compare prices with Southwest Airlines Vacations and then make a decision after knowing you have the very best price possible.

If you think about the time you spend inside when you’re in Las Vegas then you’ll be quick to realize that it doesn’t make a difference when you hit the tables. Climate control is a science in this desert town and you will rarely be uncomfortable while inside.

Things to See in Las Vegas

While spring and fall do not really occur the best times to visit often are during those traditional spring and fall months.
