WHAT TO VISIT IN LAS VEGAS, NEVADA
Map of
Las Vegas Strip »»»
Most of Las Vegas big attractions are
centred in The Strip, a stretch of its downtown, around Las
Vegas Boulevard (see the map
on right).
The biggest hotel-casinos are
there, in the Strip, mixed with thousands of restaurants,
wedding chapels, bars and clubs. The remaining Las Vegas is
mainly formed by residential areas.
BEST TIME TO
TRAVEL TO LAS VEGAS, CALIFORNIA
The best time to visit Las
Vegas depends
on what you want and value.
If you want to enjoy the high season,
with its
glamour and crowds fever,
then
March
through May and October are the months (get your hotel reservations well in advance,
in this case).
But if
you want to avoid the crowds and obtain the best rates for your
accommodation, then you should travel in Summer or after October,
and not in the high season.
Obviously there are some particularities you must
also
take into account. Namely, don't forget that accommodation
and services prices attains high levels in:
- Memorial Day and Labour Day (due to the combination of weekend
rates with holiday demands).
- The second (or third) week of November (due to COMDEX, the
largest world's computer show).
- The first two weeks of December (due
to National Final's Rodeo).
- New Year's Eve and the days around it.
- Thanksgiving four
days weekend.
Be also aware of the differences between weekdays and weekends:
accommodations prices differ greatly, and many hotels
don't accept
arrivals on Saturdays or even in Fridays.
And the weather
issue?
Well. Vegas has really hot summers and chilly winters, but air
conditioning is a great help. Since Vegas entertainments are
indoors, the weather
is normally a minor question.
Anyway, here
are some elements about Las Vegas weather:
Vegas has around 300 days of sunshine annually, but also cold
winters. In the chilliest winter nights, temperatures might dip
down to 32°F/0ºC. Nevada temperatures can be very warm in the
day, but nights can also be quite chilly. So, be prepared with
the proper clothing, if you intend to enjoy The Strip
streets ambiance.
Fall and Spring have nice sunny weather and occasional rainy
days (on average it doesn't rain more than two-three days in any
month). Humidity is always low or very low.
Summer days are
very hot in the daytime, but at night temperatures are fine
(hotel pools are crowded in Summer).
See weather details in the Weather Table
below.
WHEN NOT
TO GO TO LAS VEGAS
There isn't exactly a bad time to visit Las Vegas. If you want
to beat crowds and get better prices on accommodation, avoid the
high season (March
through May and October).
Avoid also
Memorial
Day, Labour Day, the second (or third) week of November, the
first two weeks of December, New Year's Eve and the days around
it and Thanksgiving.
If you want to avoid more extreme temperatures, then see the
weather table below for detailed information.
