Las Vegas Travel Facts

Anytime is a good time to hit Las Vegas. You'll find it running full speed ahead most of the year, with the exception of early December and weekdays during July. Expect to find the place jam-packed on weekends, especially during holidays (Memorial Day, President's Day, Easter, Cinco de Mayo and Labor Day). If you want to stay away from the crowds, don't plan your trip the week between Christmas and New Year's.

Vegas is also a big spot for conventions. With nearly 50 conventions each year, the city sees roughly 500,000 business travelers per year - and that only includes those coming up for a convention. Sporting events attract a number of visitors as well, including golf tournaments, boxing matches and the NASCAR Winston Cup Las Vegas 400.
