October brings some of the best weather of the year to Las Vegas. Las Vegas October weather brings average daytime highs in the low to mid-80s and overnight lows dipping into the 50s or 60s – even into the 40s toward the end of the month. The contrast between day and night invites versatile wardrobe planning to manage those warm days and crisp fall nights. To make the most of the month:
While Las Vegas pool season might be ending for some pools, pools like Circa Stadium Swim® remain open all year long, combining sunshine, cocktails, game-watching on massive screens, and heated pools for those nights that reach the 50s and 40s. For those warmer days, don’t miss air-conditioned casinos to try your luck.
Entertainment is everywhere in October. With a calendar so packed, we won’t blame you if it’s daunting to choose from them all! There’s something to please just about everybody, from reggae festivals and emo festivals to Halloween bashes and bar crawls. Here are a few of the best to choose from to help you plan your October Las Vegas vacation:
From October 10-12, the Best Friends Forever Festival takes over downtown. This indie-pop and nostalgia-infused festival features returning favorites and reunion performances (like Minus the Bear) that take you back in time.
Emo, pop-punk, alt-rock… this festival brings out the heavy hitters. Mark your calendars for October 18-19. When We Were Young returns with a lineup stacked with Blink-182, Panic! At The Disco, Weezer, Avril Lavigne, and more.
