What to Pack for Las Vegas: A Complete Year-Round Guide

Packing for Las Vegas requires balancing intense desert weather, chilly air-conditioned casinos, active day trips, and glamorous nightlife. Here is how to dress for every season and occasion.

Spring (March–May)

Spring offers pleasant highs in the 70s and 80s. Pack lightweight short-sleeve tops, breathable chinos, sundresses, and jeans. Desert nights still bring a brisk breeze, so carry a light leather jacket, denim jacket, or tailored cardigan for evening walks and chilly casino floors.

Summer (June–August)

Summer brings scorching heat often exceeding 100°F. Pack ultra-breathable linen shirts, lightweight shorts, airy dresses, sunglasses with UV protection, and a wide-brimmed hat. Always carry a lightweight layer or pashmina in your day bag to protect against freezing indoor air conditioning.

Fall (September–November)

Fall transitions from warm afternoons to crisp evenings. Pack versatile layering pieces: short-sleeve tops, tailored trousers, midi skirts, and a light-to-medium jacket or sweater. Layering is key as temperatures drop rapidly once the sun sets.

Winter (December–February)

Desert winters are surprisingly cold, with daytime highs in the 50s and nighttime lows near freezing. Pack warm knit sweaters, long pants, a stylish overcoat or insulated jacket, and a scarf. You will need genuine warmth when sightseeing outdoors after dark.
