    What is your favorite month to visit Las Vegas? and why? We usually go in July for our birthdays, but next time I want to go in a different month. We like the warmer weather. Last year it rained 3 out of 5 days and there were some awesome thunderstorms, but if I wanted rain I can stay home in Oregon.

    July and November.

    I live in Florida and believe me when I say 105 degrees in Las Vegas is way better than 90 degrees with 85% humidity in Florida. I actually go to Las Vegas in July to cool off. I've been doing it for years and have yet to regret it. Plus, the crowds are thinner and the pools are great.

    November has excellent weather in Las Vegas, especially early November. This year I'm spending the week around Thanksgiving there.

    I'm not a big fan of going in January, not much difference in the weather there and in the weather in the Florida panhandle, usually.

    Any month is a good month, although being from UK I find July/August a bit too hot.

    Iv been to Vegas in July, Aug, Sept, Nov, Jan and March and maybe a couple other months when I was a kid I do not remember.

    I like March, specifically the first couple weeks are my favorite. The weather is near perfect temps for someone from Ohio where its usually cold, some of the pools are open, its not uncomfortable day or night to be outside and its just perfect IMO.

    December has the best walking around weather. April has the best desert excursion weather. July and August have the best pool weather. But October has the best weather for all the things I mentioned before.

    October and March, but I'll take anything in between those two month as well.

    The summer months are out unless we are forced to go for work, wedding, etc....

    For me it is the best weather and you get football in October and the tourney in March.

    June and September. I like it HOTT!! You know what you are going to get for the most part during these times. June can be blazing, September is pretty predicable. Great pool weather!

    If I didn't have work considerations, I'd book NASCAR in March, WSOP in June/July, Halloween in October, and Rodeo in December.

    April and October have the best weather, IMO.

    July and August. Bring on the heat. Not so sure I would enjoy Vegas as much in Dec/Jan/Feb unless it was specific to something like a sports event. I'm not a huge pool person, but I like the pool months.

    I've been in March and I've been in June. I doubt I'll ever go back in June. Native Texan used to heat, but it gets damn hot in Vegas in the summer. Sticking to March-April or October-November going forward.

    I usually go in March or early June. I went once over the 4th of July weekend and never again. Too hot for my Minnesota blood and just too crowded for someone my size. People were constantly bumping into me.

    I'm debating about maybe trying either April or May instead of June this year, and then a 2nd trip in October.

    The hotter, the better for me so I LOVE our August trip but.....also love our MM (March) trip because of the great basketball atmosphere. It is a bonus when we have pool weather in March!!

    April and October because the weather is perfect. 80s and maybe it might touch 90, but very enjoyable cooler evenings.

    Very true about April! Pool by day and still cool enough to stroll around in jeans in the eve.
