Visiting Las Vegas in October?
Las Vegas is in full swing and our favorite season is here. The weather is finally getting cooler, so we’ll spend more time outdoors. On top of that, there are plenty of shows and events in town.
These are all the October-only events limited to a few months, but if you want things to do available year-round, check out our ultimate Vegas bucket list, bucket list experiences, best outdoor activities, and indoor activities.

Weather in Las Vegas in October – How Hot is Vegas in October?
- Average Temp in Las Vegas in August: high of 83° F, low of 46° F
- Rainfall: 0.3 inches
- Humidity: 29%
October is when it’s finally fall-ish (not that we need sweaters)! We get some cooler days in September, but it’s much more consistent in October. That said, don’t be surprised if you find yourself in a heatwave in October.
This month will also bring you better hotel deals as long as you avoid any large events or conferences.
October is the best month to visit for mild weather to enjoy indoor and outdoor activities. We tell all our friends to wait until October to visit for hiking and November for climbing.
Are Vegas pools open in October?
The pool season generally goes from March to October, although some hotel pools stay open year-round (Caesars, Wynn, Aria, and Bellagio). As locals, though, we don’t get in our pool unless it’s been over 100 degrees for several days. Yes, we do get used to the hot weather, and now everywhere else is cold.

Tips for Visiting Las Vegas in October
- Buy tickets early since popular shows and events sell out.
- Save money by getting an All-Inclusive or Explorer Pass if you plan on visiting multiple attractions.
- Read all the fine print before heading to a show or event since some don’t allow cameras and others don’t allow bags.
- Bring layers because it’s still warm during the day but will be cool at night. Also, inside the casinos, they are always pumping the AC.
- Sunscreen is important if you’ll be outside since it’s mostly exposed.
- Arrive early. It takes longer than anticipated to get from one spot part of the strip to another. Give yourself plenty of time to find your way around. Casinos are meant to be a maze.
- Want to know what to wear to the airport? These are our ideal airport outfits.
Best Places to Stay in Las Vegas
Is October a Good Time to Visit Las Vegas?
If you’re mostly going to be indoors on the Strip, visit any time of the year since the temperature won’t matter.
For outdoor activities like hiking and climbing, you should visit between November and March. But if you’re here for the pool parties and lake life, this is the time!
In our opinion, we like leaving Vegas during July and August, but you do you!
