By Season
38–63°F

- Jeans or tailored trousers
- Comfortable closed-toe walking shoes
49–88°F

46–95°F

General Packing Tips for Las Vegas
- 1.Las Vegas casino air conditioning is set to approximately 68°F year-round — always carry a packable layer regardless of month, even in July when outdoor temperatures hit 105°F.
- 2.The Las Vegas Strip is over 4 miles of hard, heat-reflective concrete — prioritize foot comfort over fashion and choose supportive walking shoes to handle 6–10 mile daily step counts.
- 3.Las Vegas sits at 2,001 ft elevation in a low-humidity desert valley — UV exposure is intense year-round and dehydration sets in faster than in coastal cities; pack SPF 50+ and drink water constantly.
