* I would like to visit Las Vegas in the middle of the
summer. Living in Maine, it gets pretty cold in the winter and I
would like to feel the heat of the sun on this old cold body. Carl
C.
* My favorite time of the year to
see Las Vegas is on New Years. Where else can you put a few
hundred thousand people who can drink around the clock. The people
watching experience is unsurpassed. Vivian T. Fl.
* We went to Vegas this year in May
and August. We always enjoy August the best as we love the heat, being
from Canada our summers are very short and humid. We just can't get
enough of the heat even though there have been times that you couldn't
breath, hey it's summer. We also enjoy coming home when the weather is
hot as it's not such a shock to your system. One time we went in January
and it was a beautiful 70 degrees and we got home to snow and below
freezing temperature, now that was a shock to the old system. It took me
until June to warm up again. Lynda Loipersbeck
* Definitely springtime, it's not too hot
to walk around for hours on end and also because it seems a shame to not
be able to enjoy some of those great pools and the "on vacation"
atmosphere surrounding them. Thanks, Sandy R.
* Love to go Las Vegas in February when
it is really cold here in Indiana just to get away form the snow and
cold. Like October when is starts to get cold here just to get us ready
for winter. Las Vegas can be fun any time of the year if you love Vegas
like we do.. G.J. Smith
* I love coming in
January. I love the way I can in my rental car drive the strip at times
usually mornings and well actually most times) up and down the strip and
be the first one at the stop lights. I get a kick out of that . also the
weather is fine compared to here in Connecticut , I still walk around in
my shorts. lines are smaller at venues, and I think the slots are looser
and the table action better. but that's just me and how I feel. being 58
years old I'm not into the part scene (thank god for them ha ha ) so the
getaway to Vegas is right up my alley. I come to relax , have some
drinks, gamble and look at the beautiful sites if you get my drift. so
yes January is my time to love Vegas the most. Watcherboy
* Halloween week.... (the week
that Halloween falls in unless falls on weekend, usually Sunday threw
Thursday trip.) It's cooler weather. The Casino staff are in a
friendly mood as a lot of the Casino have special promotions for the
week. ( parties and free events) The new slot machines are out on
the Casino floor and ready to be played. Most Casino have special Casino
items available, as we start to get geared up for the up coming
Holidays. (Casinos have Special Silver Strikes or Casino Chips for the
Halloween occasion on sale) The shops are marking items on sale and
putting out the new holiday items for sale. All of the Sunday and
Monday night football parties. (I love the NASCAR races myself, but
usually attend a Monday night football party) Vegas has the best to
offer in entertainment as it's matter of your own taste. We have been
making the trip out for 5 Years now and we look forward to making the
trip At Halloween. (Our anniversary is November 26 around
Thanksgiving... So we celebrate a little early as Thanksgiving is a time
for Families and we make this is a time for us) Most of the time we can
get a deal on air fair, Hotel , rental car rates at this time of year. (
unless a big convention is in town) Personal note: Last year we enjoyed
the Ford car show with Dale Jarrett, Tony Stewart and Elliot Sadler. It
was a added bonus. Tickets and rooms are usually hard to get during
NASCAR events, Casino rate really jump up for this event. We
travel to Vegas at least twice a year sometimes we make it three. Raymond
and Mary Zachary
* If I could go to Las Vegas any
time of the year I would choose mid-October. The kids are in school and
hunkering down with tests, projects and after school stuff to keep them
busy. They are over the hard part of settling back into a regular
routine. Christmas is still 2 months away. It gives you enough time to
enjoy yourself for a brief moment of fun, excitement, relaxation and
""adult time"" before the demands of holiday buying, planning and
preparing are upon you. It is a fabulous way to recharge your batteries.
The weather in Las Vegas is still lovely with a bit of a fall bite in
the air. The prices for air fares and hotels will have dropped and that
is the best value for your money and family budget. It is also a unique
place to shop around for a few unusual Christmas gifts while you enjoy
the glitz, glammer and fun! Take me away.... Susan
