This means that the summers are often ridiculously hot, with temperatures reaching up to 105°F during June, July, and August. Our tip? Make sure you have sunscreen and a hat on standby if you plan on traveling to Las Vegas during those months.
Does Las Vegas ever get cold?
On the other hand, Winter in Las Vegas is a lot cooler with temperatures generally around 60°F, offering a nice respite from the harsh heat of Summer. One of the best things about the weather in Las Vegas is that it rarely rains.

The coldest month however is December, with temperatures only rising to roughly 55°F during the day and a shiver-inducing 35°F at night. The temperature is so cold during Winter that the mountains ranges surrounding Las Vegas even manage to get some snow!
