Planning to spend quality time with your loved ones in Vegas or Mexico? Knowing the right time to visit these places can greatly impact your overall experience. There are certain factors such as weather, crowds, and festivities at a particular place that help you make the right decision to visit it. Before you decide to embark on your Las Vegas or Mexico holidays, here is all that you need to know in this regard.

Las Vegas: A Perfect Place for All Seasons

Las Vegas is one of the few cities in the world that is quite busy one and shares fun and excitement all over the year. But perhaps you might be the busiest at some specific times of the year, so the time slot that suits you may vary. So, let’s take a glance at what is expected in Sin City during each of the seasons.

Spring

Las Vegas is most visited in springtime. The summer starts from March up to the middle of May; the climate is pleasant with warm temperatures, but not extremely hot. It also means that you won’t feel sweaty after a pool party or any other outdoor activity you undertake.

Crowds get much smaller after the March spring break is over. This means that you can get a cheaper rate on the hotel you want to stay in and it’s not difficult to secure tickets to popular shows or tables in good restaurants. In Vegas, spring season is a great time to have maximum fun. During March, one can enjoy the car racing events of NASCAR Weekend. If you a food lover, do not miss out on the chance to attend the Vegas Uncork’d, a food and wine festival held in May. You need to keep in mind that while the spring season in Vegas might be the busiest time of the year, this can even cost you much as compared to other months, due to the higher tourism demand.

Fall Time

This is another popular time to explore the beauty of Vegas. From September to November, the climate is relatively pleasant and it reminisces of the same vibes as the springtime. While it is costly during summer when summer is over, the crowds get smaller over time and you can thus manage to find really good rates for hotels and flights.

You can also get a chance to enjoy some really amazing events during this specific fall time. Head to Vegas in September when you can enjoy listening to music and witness the art marvels at the Life is Beautiful festival. Another must-attend event for foodies is the Las Vegas Food & Wine Festival which normally takes place in October. The weather is mild and there are no big crowds- this makes the fall season one of the best times to discover Vegas and try different outdoor activities here.

Winter

Visiting Las Vegas during winter is also a good idea for those who look for cheap prices. According to the weather conditions, you can get the cheapest prices for hotels and flights available during December, January, and February. The only time that is quite busy and costly is New Year Eve. During the day, one can easily get around the city since the climate at this time is not very extreme.

The nighttime is a much colder one, therefore it’s best to pack a jacket in your luggage. The winter in Las Vegas has its own charm and one cannot resist simply adoring it. The city is well-illuminated for the holiday, and there is a joyous and lively vibe around. Some hotel pool services may be closed during winter or might open for a limited time each day and the weather might be a bit cooler to perform outdoor activities during this specific time.

Summer

This is one of the busiest times in Vegas, often posing some challenges as it gets very hot from June to August in Vegas, with temperatures soaring to above 100°F (38°C. Also, the prices for hotels and flights on weekends are much higher during these times. Still, it is a great idea to visit Vegas during this time if one is fond of attending outdoor concerts and pool parties.

Mexico: An Ideal Place for a Tropical Escape

Mexico is a large country and one may find a large number of interesting places here to explore. The optimal time to travel here can also vary depending on the specific Mexican destination one is interested in. Here is the breakdown of the best time of the year to visit Mexico

Winter

Mexico itself attracts a huge number of tourists especially during the winter season and particularly in beach regions. The climate is much favourable for beach activities from December to April. It is neither too hot nor humid for swimming, sunbathing, or indulging in water sports activities. So, if you like watching whales, the best time to witness them is during winter when they are in areas such as Baja California.

Visiting Mexico during winter, you can also get a chance to attend different festivals here. December makes a great month to visit here because you can get to view the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe. Also, in February, big Carnivals are celebrated in many cities. Just like in many other countries, winter here is one of the most popular seasons for travelling and also the costliest one. Therefore, you are going to find heavy crowds usually full during the Christmas, New Year celebrations, and Easter holidays.

Spring

Expect a much pleasant weather from March to May in Mexico, when it is neither too hot nor humid. You are also going to find cheaper rates for hotels and lesser crowds, which makes it a much favourable time to consider when planning your Vegas and Mexico holidays.

Fall Time

Also called the shoulder season, it is a mix and match of busy and quiet times in Mexico. In most of the areas, the weather is much more pleasant and you will also get to witness the most of Mexican culture during this specific time. Also, September is the time for Independence Day celebrations and if you visit in November, you can get a perfect chance to see the Day of the Dead traditions.

Summer

If you are planning to visit during summer time (June to August) make sure to avoid beach areas as they are much hot and humid. The ocean is however warm and one can consider taking a refreshing dip in it. It is the low season so you are going to find much cheaper rates and fewer crowds, allowing you for more peaceful time here.
