Best month to visit Las Vegas

Well, my friends, if you're asking about the best time to experience Las Vegas, Nevada (or as I like to call it, the fun-having, neon-light pulsing, glitzy heart of America), we're talking April or October. Why these two months? They capture the sweet spot of perfect weather—sunny, warm, but not yet the skin-scorching temperature of Vegas summers. It's the Goldilocks of times to visit—just right.

Cheapest time to go to Las Vegas

Now, if it's the bargain seats you're after, you might want to strap on your Vegas adventure boots during the winter months, specifically, in January. Post-holiday season sees the city's glamourous pulse slow down a smidge (just a smidge, mind you). Hotels are eager to fill rooms, flights can be snagged for less, and you'll be grinning like a Cheshire cat at the savings.

Worst time of year to visit Las Vegas

Ah, summer in Vegas. We're talking July, August—where the thermometer often dances around the 100-degree mark. It's not for the faint of heart or the weak of sunscreen. Sure, the casinos are delightfully air-conditioned, but if you were planning on frolicking outside, reconsider your plans unless you particularly enjoy feeling like a walking talking human barbecue!

Hey, I’m Evan! Even though I’ve been bitten by a piranha, left stranded in the Sahara when my camel ditched me, and even spent a night in a Bhutanese jail over a supposedly stolen fruit (I swear I didn’t take it!), I still love traveling so much I don’t think I’ll ever stop. With over 130 countries under my belt, I’m always on the lookout for the next wild adventure… hopefully with fewer bites, camel betrayals, and misunderstandings over fruit!
