Getting around Las VegasĪpart from walking around Las Vegas (which leans more towards ‘entertainment’ than mere transport sometimes), there are several other, easy options. Also worth noting is that with Las Vegas a popular weekend destination, which means there’s greater availability of rooms and show tickets if you stay mid-week. Las Vegas is also known for its big events and conventions so try to avoid these. The winter months are particularly busy, with New Year’s Eve seeing an influx of more than 300,000 visitors. The shoulder seasons of spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) offer the mildest weather, when it’s not too cold or not too hot. Las Vegas is a party destination almost all year round, however some times are better to visit than others. Prices are generally a little cheaper in the Downtown area than on the glitzier Strip. Here the casinos are closer together so you really can casino-hop if you want to, whereas on The Strip it’s sometimes quite a walk between each one. The Downtown area of Las Vegas is located around Fremont Street, and has more of a local vibe. If you’re looking at staying along The Strip, the northern end is – generally speaking – more geared towards adults than the southern end, which has more shopping and non-casino attractions, making it great for families.
