Las Vegas is like the end of the rainbow – a destination bursting with color and endless possibilities, and where you might even find your pot of gold. If you’re looking to spend some time this July in Las Vegas, you couldn’t have picked a better month. Along with the myriad activities that are going on all year, July has some great events planned as well.
Below, we outline all the reasons why you should take a trip to Vegas in July.
There’s really no way to sugarcoat it: July in Las Vegas is HOT! Daytime temperatures hit triple digits here – that’s the 105-110-degree Fahrenheit range. And it doesn’t get much cooler at night, with temperatures averaging 80 degrees Fahrenheit.
That kind of heat is no joke. But if you’re prepared, it shouldn’t be a problem. Always carry a bottle of water with you, and be sure to stay well hydrated. Wear light, comfortable clothing, comfortable walking shoes, and a hat, and always use sun protection. Plan outside activities in the morning or evening as much as possible.
If you’re out and about and feel yourself getting overheated, stop in a shop or hotel lobby to cool off in the air conditioning or sit down for a cold drink somewhere. Or, better yet, plan to cool down in the pool. A pool day at Circa Stadium Swim® won’t just help with the heat, but you’ll also be hanging out at one of the best pools in Vegas.
While rain isn’t impossible, it’s highly unlikely. Vegas gets about 4 inches of rainfall annually, and most of it happens during the winter months.
Vegas attracts some of the biggest stars in music, and this July is no exception. Here are some of the big July concerts in Las Vegas in 2024:
Along with that fantastic lineup, other live music shows feature tribute bands and artists playing the music of Neil Diamond, The Carpenters, Michael Jackson, the Rat Pack, Tina Turner, the Beatles, Frank Sinatra, the Bee Gees, Prince, the Spice Girls and, of course, ELVIS!
You can also find more genre-focused shows, such as gospel, blues, Motown, country, disco, classic rock, and more.
July in Las Vegas doesn’t just attract the biggest names in music. It’s also a great place to catch some of today’s funniest comedians. Ongoing shows include:
No city does July 4th quite like Las Vegas! Be sure to get a good spot to watch the Summerlin Patriotic Parade, which features spectacular floats, larger-than-life balloons, bands and musical groups, children’s cartoon and storybook characters, and, of course, tributes to the heroes of the U.S. military. The parade is free and attracts more than 35,000 spectators each year.
When evening rolls around, it’s time to watch the best fireworks show west of the Rockies. In Vegas, there’s not just one location for fireworks. As you would expect, multiple hotels along the Strip put on their own show, and Fremont Street is also a great place to see the sky light up as the city pulls out all the stops to celebrate Independence Day.
The NBA Summer League is the hottest basketball ticket in the country in the off-season. NBA teams are trying out summer rosters that include rookie, sophomore, and G League affiliate players so you can get an up-close-and-personal look at tomorrow’s stars. Depending on the package, you’ll have pool party access, nightclub access, court-side deck access, a behind-the-scenes tour, access to the NBA EXP Lounge, where you can interact with NBA players, and meet-and-greets where you can get autographs and photos. VIP packages give you a shoot-around or even breakfast or dinner with an NBA legend!
