There is hardly a bad time to visit Vegas. There isn’t one particular season that is less crowded although if you go on weekdays there are fewer people than on the weekends. In terms of weather most of the attractions are indoors and in any case the weather is hardly even so bad that you couldn’t take a walk down The Strip. There is a small off-season in the boiling hot months of July and August and the colder January when hotel rates drop slightly. The high-season lasts almost the whole year long from January to mid-November.

Spring - March-May, 9.7°C-31.6°C

This is a great time for cool weather and many festive events. March is typically the busiest and most expensive time to visit. In March you have the Spring Break, NASCAR, COMDEX week and March Madness (annual national college basketball tournaments). This makes it a good time for gamblers who want to bet on the sporting events. Spring is also a time of food festivals in May and rodeos in April.

Summer – June-August, 23.7°-40.1°C

If you don’t mind the heat or are planning lots of time by the pool then this is an ideal time to visit. You might find some bargains as July and August are a small off-season period. The heat shouldn’t worry you though as you’ll spend a lot of time in the air-conditioned hotels and attractions. Families tend to visit in July and August and in July you’ll find a few sudden cloud bursts as it is one of the city’s wettest months. Poker players should plan on visiting in May-June when the World Series of Poker takes place. July 4^th is one of the most heavily booked days of the year in Vegas.

Autumn - September–November, 8.1°C-34.4°C

Like spring this is a “shoulder season” when it is not too hot, not too cold, not too expensive and not too crowded. In September there is the Las Vegas Greek Food Festival and in October the Las Vegas BikeFest.

Winter – December-February, 3.7°C-16.9°C

Despite the cold winter is a popular season to visit Vegas mainly because of the festive Christmas and New Year’s celebrations. February is the city’s wettest month but winter in Vegas is so mild the weather probably won’t make a dent in your plans. These two holidays mean peak crowds and peak prices but lots of fun. If you travel just before or just after these major holidays you might find bargain deals. Vegas has many parties leading up to Christmas and there is also the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo in December. In early February the SuperBowl brings fans around the sports bars and sports betting tables in Vegas giving Las Vegas another reason to party. Valentine’s Day is another popular date to visit Sin City.  During January there can be a few shows which take a hiatus although most Las Vegas attractions and shows stay open year round. January can also be cheaper as the weather is at its most unpredictable and people are back home recovering from their Las Vegas Christmas and New Year hangovers.
