Las Vegas

Like a radiant mirage emerging from the Mojave Desert, Las Vegas boasts its status as America's ultimate playground. Enjoying over 300 days of sunshine a year, the city battles scorching summers peaking at around 100°F (38°C) and experiences mild winters lingering around 60°F (15°C). This dry desert climate solidifies it as a round-the-year destination, although spring and fall offer the most pleasant weather.

The city's throbbing pulse can be felt beyond the famous Strip's dazzling facade, with the party going on non-stop. Though tourism accounts for a significant fraction of the economy, locals enjoy a surprisingly chill desert lifestyle. This balance is achieved through an amalgamation of outdoor activities at Red Rock Canyon and Lake Mead and round-the-clock entertainment.

What distinguishes Vegas is its unparalleled collection of world-class entertainment, dining, and larger-than-life experiences. The city masters turning mundane aspects into a spectacle. The architectural replicas scattered along the Strip, such as the Eiffel Tower and Venetian canals, impersonate a fantastical, exclusive-to-Vegas atmosphere.

With a gastronomic culture spanning from elite tasting menus to iconic buffets and late-night delicacies, the city is a utopia for food lovers. Savour a Shrimp Cocktail at the Golden Gate (an enduring Vegas tradition since 1959), or the city's renowned prime rib specials. The unmissable events include the Bellagio fountains' water show, the panoramic cityscape view from the High Roller observation wheel, and an exploration of the immersive Area15 entertainment hub.

Practical Tips for Las Vegas

Things to prepare and best way to visit

How much should I budget per day in Las Vegas?

Excluding accommodation, plan for a daily spend of $200-$300, which includes meals, shows, moderate gambling, and transport. However, costs can surge if you're looking at high-end restaurants and luxury experiences.

Is Las Vegas safe for tourists?

Usually, as tourist precincts are heavily patrolled. It's advisable to be wary, particularly late at night. Stick to well-lit regions, and stay alert about your surroundings.

When is the best time to visit?

The most pleasant weather can be enjoyed from March-May and October-November. Summers are extreme, so avoid July-August unless you're heat-tolerant. Check the convention calendar, as significant events can lead to a hike in hotel prices.

Do I need to rent a car?
