Ninth Island Connection

November is all about Formula 1. This is the second year of Formula 1’s Las Vegas Grand Prix and the event will take place November 21st-23rd.

In most cities, October is the time of year for leaves changing color and pumpkin spice. Here in Vegas, it’s time to prepare for Formula 1.

The weather in September is beautiful, with average daily highs in the 90’s and cooling off in the evenings into the 70’s and even 60’s. The pools are still open and they seem to be less crowded with school back in session.

The weather in August will be cooling off a bit from July; however, it’s still hot with average daily temperatures in the low 100’s and evening temps in the 80’s.

July temps are HOT, as in 105 degrees to even in the teens. In the evenings, it does typically cool down into the 80’s. 

As always, there is a lot going on here on the Ninth Island of Las Vegas, and the month of June is no exception. Of course, possibly the biggest news announced recently is the closing date for the iconic Mirage.

There’s a lot going on over the month of May here in Las Vegas, starting with weekly fireworks at The Plaza Hotel and Casino. Beginning May 24th for Memorial Day weekend through August 30th for Labor Day weekend, the property will have a fireworks display at 9:15pm to kick off the weekend.

The Mirage Volcano made its comeback in mid-March and will operate nightly every hour from 8pm to 11pm. Catch the shows while you can, as this Vegas landmark will go away for good once Hardrock begins construction on their planned guitar shaped hotel tower. At this time, they have not made the information of when this will happen public.

March is typically when the Vegas Valley starts to warm up.  Average daily highs are in the 70’s, making for the perfect outdoor weather.  This is a great time to take advantage of all of the parks and hiking trails just outside of the Strip. At night, the temps do tend to drop 20-30 degrees, so you’ll want to pack warmer clothes for the evenings.

If you’re looking for a place to watch the game, you will want to make those plans well in advance. Casino Sportsbooks and restaurants will both be requiring paid reservations. Restaurants on the Strip tend to have a set price that includes a table and food and beverages for the price.
