Las Vegas is at the heart of the hottest, harshest
desert in North America, and so receives less than four inches of
rain (10cm) per year.
Temperatures, however, vary enormously, with
daytime maximums averaging over 100°F (38°C) in July and August,
and night-time minimums dropping below freezing in December and
January.
The midsummer heat on the Strip is unbearable, making it
impossible to walk any distance during the day, so the ideal months to
visit are April, May, September and October. Hotel swimming pools tend
to be closed between October and March inclusive.
The
city is at its quietest , and room rates are therefore lowest,
during the first few weeks of December and the last few weeks of
January, and also during June, while July, Christmas and New Year are
the busiest periods of all.
