Las Vegas offers more than 300 days sun a year and is hot and dry most of the time, rain is extremely rare, with no more than 4 inches a year.

Springtime starts in March until June, temperature ranges from 9°C until 23°C. Probably the best time to visit Las Vegas as its not too hot and there aren’t too many tourists.

Summertime is the end of June until the middle/end of September and is hot!! The temperature ranges from 22°C to 27°C in August .

Autumn again is a nice time to visit Las Vegas as it’s a little cooler – the end of September to the middle of December. Temperatures are between 22-28°C. There are a lot of US holidays (Thanksgiving, sporting events) on during this period so the crowds might get a little busier than usual.

Wintertime can get very cold, as low as 4°C in December so make sure you take a jacket with you.

While in Las Vegas don’t forget to take in all the extras... 

1. Take a trip around the Grand Canyon by helicopter
There are many Grand Canyon Tours you can take experiencing the Canyon from 4,000 feet in the air. Tours usually include views of the Grand Canyon, Hoover Dam and Lake Mead and are breathtaking. 

2. Visit the Fountains at Bellagio
If you aren’t staying at the Bellagio (The fountains can be viewed from certain rooms) you must visit the fountains.

The shows are usually every 15-30 minutes from midday or mid afternoon and are described by many as "spectacular".The fountains “dance” to various music from Andrea Bocelli to Pink Panther, shows last around 4 minutes

3. See a show
What better place to see a show than Las Vegas! A couple that have been recommended are;

"O" by Cirque du Soleil – Inspired by the concept of infinity and the elegance of water, all style performers create a show where anything is possible. Acrobats, divers and swimmers take part in, on and above water to create a mind blowing experience.

Blue Man Group – Combining music, comedy and theatrics to create a one off form of entertainment. Apparently it’s the atmosphere that is produced at their live stage show that makes this an unforgettable experience.

4. Take a trip up the Stratosphere
1,149 feet into the Las Vegas skyline the Stratosphere tower is the tallest tower in the U.S, the view of the Vegas street is most exciting. If you feel like being a little more daring jump on one of the rides that shoots you over thousand feet in the air, or take the mechanical arm that extends 64 feet over the edge of the tower and spins you around. Be sure to take this ride before your lunch!

5. Shopping!
What else is there to do on holiday apart from Shop! Take a tour around The Forum at Caesars. With more than 160 boutiques this is the most successful shopping centre in the country.

Stores include; Dior, Fendi, Gucci & Louis Vuitton.
