When to go
March-May and October-November: daytime highs in the 20s C, evenings comfortable enough to walk the Strip without planning around the heat. June through September regularly hits 40C-plus by afternoon, which is survivable but reshapes an outdoor day trip into an early-morning-only activity. December-February is mild by day and genuinely cold after sunset, and it's also when hotel rates and resort fees tend to dip outside major conventions and New Year's.
Month by month in United States
Las Vegas sits in United States, so the country's broader seasonal pattern applies. There is no single best window across all five. New York and Orlando are best avoided at their weather extremes (NYC deep winter, Orlando peak summer humidity). Las Vegas and LA run pleasant nearly year round with brutal exceptions (Vegas summer heat). Miami has a hard seasonal split around hurricane season, June 1 to November 30.
Jan-FebCheapest hotel rates in most of these cities except Orlando, which stays busy over school breaks. NYC and to a lesser extent LA are coldest now; Vegas and Orlando are comfortable.
Mar-MayA strong window nationwide: NYC and LA warm up, Vegas is pleasant before summer heat, Orlando has spring break crowds worth planning around.
Jun-AugPeak season and peak heat. Vegas regularly exceeds 40C, Orlando runs hot and humid with daily afternoon thunderstorms, Miami sits inside hurricane season. NYC is warm and busy, not unbearable.
Sep-NovA genuinely good stretch for most of the list: NYC and LA at their best, Vegas cooling off, Orlando's crowds thin after Labor Day. Miami is still inside hurricane season until November 30, with peak storm risk in September.
DecHoliday pricing spikes everywhere, especially Orlando and NYC around Christmas. Miami and Vegas both work well as a winter-sun escape once the holiday premium passes.
