When's the Best Time To Go?

I'm often asked, "When is the best time to visit Las Vegas?" My response? Any time! But, all kidding aside, there are some times that may suit your type of vacation better than others.

Here are some thoughts:

Spring/Fall - the weather is best during these seasons. It's usually cool during the day, although you may get some rain. The crowds are a little bigger, but I found that they were not as bad as I had feared. Just make sure there are no major conventions or huge events going on when you are making your reservations. If you plan ahead, you can get good rates, too.

Winter - Many pools are closed (some heated ones are open year-round), and it can get a little cool. I avoid holidays, especially New Year's, when they close off the Strip to traffic and everyone goes nuts. Again, careful planning will allow you to enjoy less-crowded times and better rates.

Summer - Ok, yes, it's hot. Dang hot. But, I don't do much outside walking because I rent a car, and the casinos are often quite cold. So, it doesn't bother me. Rates are usually better during the summer, and the crowds are not as thick.

I've enjoyed Vegas every time I've ventured out there, and I just can't help but have the time of my life. Whether I'm gambling, seeing a show, or just people-watching, I enjoy Las Vegas year-round, and I hope you do, too!

Viva,
Mike
