When to visit and how long to stay
Peak pool season is late spring through early fall; summer is very hot in Las Vegas and is pool-party season. Fall and spring offer milder daytime temperatures good for walks and day trips.
A 3–5 night stay is common for a Las Vegas honeymoon that mixes pool time, a Strip show or two, and one day trip (Hoover Dam or Red Rock/Valley of Fire).
- Best months for comfortable weather: March–May and October–November.
- Summer is hottest (daytime highs can exceed 100°F); plan indoor activities or early/late pool time.
- Winter has cooler days and is less convenient for pool-focused time—lazy river is seasonal and may be closed in winter.
| Season | What to expect |
|---|---|
| Spring/Fall | Pleasant temps; good for outdoor activities and pool time |
| Summer | Hot—pool is main attraction; consider sun protection |
| Winter | Cooler; lazy river may be closed |
