Las Vegas: Experiences of our Visitors
Sun, dry hot, always hot desert wind, drive there for 40 years and the weather has always been great also in July, August, September and April. Just dreamlike.
Weather Rating: 5 stars – Excellent
We were in Las Vegas in July with extremely high temperatures! (43 degrees C) and hardly any humidity. Great desert climate in a great city.
Weather Rating: 5 stars – Excellent
We visited Las Vegas during a round trip through the southwest of the USA (with bathing extension in Hawaii), May turned out to be the perfect time to travel. At all stations we had great weather, also Las Vegas and the canyons were pleasantly sunny in May, but not too hot, so that also hikes and exploration tours were possible.
Weather Rating: 5 stars – Excellent
We had real dream weather during the whole trip in Las Vegas and at the Grand Canyon. Lots of sun, really nice and warm (and still bearable due to the low humidity), simply super.
Weather Rating: 5 stars – Excellent
