Is there an off-season in Vegas?
Question: What is the weather like in Vegas?
Answer: Your first stop should be to check the Weather page on Vegas4Visitors.com.
As a general rule, November through February can get very chilly in Vegas, especially at night, with temperatures dipping down into the 30s or lower.
Granted, for those of you in the snow belt that may seem practically tropical, but you should at least bring a jacket.
June through August on the other hand are ridiculously hot, with daytime temperatures usually above 100 degrees. Bring plenty of sunscreen and a hat.
March through May and September through October are the most moderate times of the year, usually with daytime temperatures in the 70s or 80s and evening
temperatures in the 50s and 60s.
Precipitation is not usually a concern in Vegas although it does rain occasionally, most often in the spring. On a couple of very rare occasions it has
actually snowed on The Strip, but it has never amounted to anything that stays around for long.
Of course all of these are just generalities. You should check Weather.com before your trip to see if
anything is different than the norm.

Question: Is there an off-season in Vegas?
Answer: Yes, there are actually several "off-seasons" in Las Vegas.
Mid-December marks the start of one typically slow season in Las Vegas, where rooms are usually plentiful and cheap all the way up to a few days before New
Year's Eve. In fact, the week right around Christmas is usually the slowest of the year.
The other major slow time in Vegas is, oddly enough, the summer - June through August - when you'd think that people would be flocking to the city in droves for their vacations. But a combination of high temperatures and fewer conventions keeps the crowds thinner than usual.
January and February can also have some slow spots in them.
Of course all of this can be thrown out the window on a moment's notice by a convention, a holiday, or a special event, so be sure to plan your trip accordingly.
