The south has long and hot summers, with the temperature frequently above 50, and short and mild winters.The humidity is usually low, which makes the higher temperatures less disagreeable. However, there’s a wide range in daily temperatures. Even in summer, the nights can be 30 to 35 degrees cooler than the daytime high. 

Getting around Las Vegas

It’s easiest to get around Vegas from the Las Vegas Strip. Walking is a great way to get around Vegas, but it may not be the fastest. A monorail will take you from one end of The Strip to the other. You can start at the MGM Grand at the south end and pass The Flamingo and The Las Vegas Hilton on the way to the Sahara at the northern end. The trains run all week long, from 7am to 2am Monday through Thursday and another hour later Friday through Sunday. Some airlines and hotels offer free vouchers for the monorail. Las Vegas’ public bus system, run by Citizens Area Transit, has buses running all day and night. The Trolley runs every 15 minutes from 9:30am–1:30am every day and reaches all the major hotels on The Strip. You can catch a taxi in front of any major hotel.
