My friends who live in New York and LA often ask me when is the best time to visit Las Vegas. And I usually don’t have an answer.
There are so many factors to consider; do you mean when is the best weather? Do you mean when it is least crowded? Do you mean when it is cheapest?…
Perhaps you have heard about Lake Las Vegas Village, and you want to take your kids to have fun.
Maybe you are a movie person, and you want a prop experience.
Or you just want to visit the best holiday bar in Sin City.
There is never a shortage of reasons to visit Vegas. That’s why there is never the “best time” to visit.
Why You Should Visit Vegas
Vegas is one of the most popular destinations not only in the US but also internationally.
It’s popular for its great nightlife, gambling, fine dining, and culture. It’s also known for great shopping places and amazing entertainment, hence the Entertainment Capital of the World. Even the expression, “What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas,” oozes fun.
Many people visit the casinos. Fremont, one of the most popular places in the city, hosts several older casinos and captures the essence of Las Vegas and its past while the famous Strip is about glitz and glamour. There are also many museums where you can take your kids, such as the Mob Museum, Discovery Children’s Museum, and many others.
