What to Wear in Las Vegas in December
In December, Las Vegas averages 38–57°F with about 3 rainy days and a surprisingly cold evening reality that catches pool-season visitors completely unprepared. The Strip's outdoor evening environment in December is genuinely cold — 40°F with desert wind at night — and the 30°F gap between casino interiors and outside air requires a real jacket for any December Las Vegas visit. December is one of the city's most comfortable months for daytime exploring when properly layered.

Based on typical December conditions in Las Vegas. Weather varies year to year — check the live forecast when you're within two weeks of your trip.
December in Las Vegas ushers in cooler, crisp weather, making it a comfortable escape from more extreme winter climates, yet requiring smart packing. Daytime temperatures typically range from the mid-50s to low-60s Fahrenheit (10-18°C), offering pleasant conditions for exploring. However, evenings and nights see a significant drop, often dipping into the 30s and 40s Fahrenheit (0-7°C), sometimes even colder. Precipitation is generally low; December is one of the driest months, so rain is unlikely to disrupt your plans. The desert air can make the cooler temperatures feel sharper, especially with any breeze. Practical outfit advice for December in Vegas centers around intelligent layering. For daytime activities, comfortable yet stylish jeans paired with long-sleeved tops, sweaters, and a chic light jacket or blazer are ideal. Comfortable walking shoes are a must for navigating the expansive resorts and Strip. As dusk approaches, a warmer, more substantial coat — think wool, puffer, or a stylish trench — becomes essential. For evening entertainment, whether it's a show, a gourmet dinner, or casino hopping, dressier attire should always be topped with a warm, elegant outer layer. Don't forget a scarf or pashmina for added warmth and style.
Curated Looks
Casual
Breton Standard
At 55–64°F the Breton stripe does the heavy lifting — dark indigo ankle jeans and raffia mules do the rest. A canvas tote keeps it honest.
Formal
Ivory Blouse and Camel
An ivory silk-look blouse tucked into camel tailored trousers is the mild-day formal look stripped to its essentials. Black Chelsea boots and a mini bag close it with precision.
Sporty
Graphic Tee Leggings
A black oversized graphic tee with high-rise leggings and ballet flats is the mild-clear sporty look that doesn't read as gym wear. A black canvas tote carries the rest of the day.
Business Casual
Blue Linen Wide-Leg
A blue linen collarless blouse over cream linen wide-leg trousers with a black belt is the mild-weather office look that breathes. White sneakers keep it from becoming too stiff.
Cute
Blush Wrap Satin Skirt
A blush wrap blouse over a black satin mini skirt is an effortlessly feminine mild-day combination. A camel bucket hat pulls it together without trying.
Cozy
Open Cardigan Slide Day
A black open-front cardigan over fleece leggings and espadrilles on a mild day doesn't try too hard. The grey scarf adds the only texture.
Chic
Striped Cardigan Leather
A navy striped cardigan over a brown faux-leather midi skirt and patent thigh-high boots on a mild clear day is quietly editorial. The structured bucket bag is the only accessory it needs.
