Best time to visit Las Vegas

The ideal time to visit Las Vegas is during the spring (March to May) or autumn (September to November). These seasons offer pleasant weather, with daytime temperatures in the 20s (°C) and cooler evenings, perfect for exploring the city. Spring and autumn have pleasant weather, enjoy comfortable temperatures for outdoor activities and exploring the Strip. There is a vibrant atmosphere, the city comes alive with events and festivals.

If you choose to visit in summer (June to August) expect scorching temperatures, but also find lower hotel rates and exciting pool parties. If you go in winter (December to February) enjoy cooler weather, holiday festivities, and potentially lower prices, but be prepared for some crowds. However if you're planning a holiday on a budget and you're looking for the best deals, consider visiting during the off-peak seasons (summer or winter).

Ultimately, the best time to visit Las Vegas depends on your individual preferences and priorities.

The ‘Strip’

The world-famous Strip - the epicentre of Vegas. The north end is home to the famous Stratosphere, - now called The Strat, while Mandalay Bay marks the southernmost point along the Strip, boasting an aquarium and man-made beach. You will also find Vegas' most iconic landmarks, including the Bellagio Fountains, the Eiffel Tower at Paris, the pyramid and sphinx belonging to The Luxor and The Venetian's Grand Canal. In fact, most of the world's best-recognised landmarks are in one place! Further south on the Strip, around a 20-minute walk from the Mandalay Bay is the famous ‘Welcome to Las Vegas’ sign, a popular spot for a ‘selfie’

Stratosphere – The Strat

At the very north end of the Strip is the Stratosphere, which features the tallest free-standing observation tower in the United States (this is where you go for that perfect Vegas photo). Hit happy hour at Level 108 Lounge with truly spectacular views. Keep in mind that while the Top of the World Restaurant revolves 360-degrees every 80 minutes, the Level 108 Lounge doesn’t, so you’ll have to stroll around to get the full effect.
