2017 Vegas Events - 3rd Quarter (Jul-Sep)

[+ not2rowdy]

Las Vegas Conferences & Events with expected attendance >10,000.

 

The Season of extreme heat. This is the desert in the summer. Temps of 110F (42C) are not uncommon. If you’re driving make sure your car is thoroughly prepared and you have survival water. It can be life threatening to be broken down in desert temperatures. Not a good time for outdoor daytime adventures. Stay hydrated and always carry a water bottle. Have sunscreen and a hat. Late evening and night can be pleasant outside. Hotel Casino pool parties are popular.

Thanks for the updates @not2rowdy . I enjoy reading them. I was in the travel industry for a time, and used to love going to Vegas (a couple of times a year), but as life changes, now it's only a couple of times a decade. Thanks again.
