When will you visit Las Vegas?
Summer in Las Vegas
Feel desert heat stream through the neon city in summer. Cool off in plush pools and enjoy chilled drinks straight from ice buckets. If July highs of 41°C (106°F) overwhelm you, kick back in the shade or pop indoors for a blast of air con. The average summer night-time temperature stays pretty warm (around 25°C, or 77°F), so you can enjoy al fresco dining and drinks on outside terrace rooftop bars, whilst you soak up twinkling views across the city.
Winter in Las Vegas
October and November weather varies; some days are incredibly cold, and others are gloriously bright with blue skies. December lows can dip to 8°C (46°F) during the day, and these temperatures drop dramatically at night, due to the barren desert setting. Throughout winter, some hotels even shut off the pools. However, most of winter sees an average temperature of 15°C (60°F). Just watch out for when the wind picks up.

Las Vegas visa and entry requirements
If you’re a citizen of a country covered by the Visa Waiver Programme (such as the UK), you will need to have a valid e-Passport along with an approved ESTA to enter the USA. You can identify an e-Passport by the ‘chip’ symbol on the front cover.
You can apply for an ESTA online, and you should receive approval straight away. However, we recommend applying at least 72 hours before departure, in case any travel authorisation is denied. An ESTA is valid for multiple journeys and lasts for two years, or until your passport expires.
You will no longer be able to enter the USA using an ESTA if you have dual nationality with a passport issued by Iran, Iraq, Sudan or Syria – even if the other passport has been issued by a country eligible under the Visa Waiver Programme. .
UK citizens can also fast track US passport control by joining Global Entry, the US Customs and Border Protection programme. Membership lasts for five years and the application process includes background checks and a face-to-face interview at an official enrolment centre.
Remember, it’s your responsibility to ensure that you have the right documents to be allowed entry into the USA when flying into Las Vegas.

Tipping in Las Vegas
It’s important to remember that most parts of the USA have a tipping culture, including Las Vegas. The service industries here rely on tips, this includes restaurants, bars, casinos and hotels.
Tipping in restaurants and bars
In most Las Vegas restaurants, it is customary to leave between 15 and 20% tip. If you feel like your service has been exceptional, a 22% tip or more is warmly welcomed. Tipping in bars and clubs differs slightly. Tipping at a bar is $1-$2 if you order 1 or 2 drinks; but the bigger the bill, the more you should tip. Bottle service girls in clubs get 18% gratuity from the bill, but further tips are at your discretion.
Tipping in taxis and hotels
Customarily, taxi drivers should be tipped 15 to 20%. Usually there is a taxi line monitor to control the flow of taxis at hotels. When they open the door for you, a $1-$2 tip is acceptable. Although hotel shuttle journeys are often complimentary, a $1-$2 tip would be appreciated by the driver. If you’re hiring a car, you should tip valet parking attendants $2 on pick-up and return of your car – or hand over $5 in one tip. If a doorman calls a cab for you, tip $1 and if they carry bags for you, tip $1-$5 per bag. For room cleaning, tip $1-$5 a day.
General tipping
Tipping in casinos is at your personal preference when it comes to tipping the dealer and slot attendants. Even if you don’t win, a small tip is appreciated. The better you do, the more you will be expected to tip big. For cocktail waitresses in casinos, tip $1 per drink. If you’re gambling streak is good, give $2-$5. If you choose to eat, tip food servers about 20%. Heading out and about for a tour? Tour guides are often super enthusiastic to show you the best of the best. You should tip around $10 - $20, or 10% of the tour cost.
