10 Tips For Surviving Summer In Las Vegas

Share The Love!

Don’t let the heat stop you from visiting Las Vegas in the summer! It’s all about being prepared! Here are my best tips for surviving the heat.

I was so excited for my trip to Vegas, I knew it would be hot, but like man, it was H-O-T. And that’s not even as hot as it gets! Summer in Las Vegas regularly gets 100+F temperatures in June, July and August. If you’re not used to the heat (or even if you are) it can be uncomfortable or actually dangerous. But that doesn’t mean you can’t have fun!

Here are my tips for surviving summer in Las Vegas:

1. Pack A Water Bottle

This was a lifesaver for me. I brought it with me from home and filled it up all the time. I would fill it in our room, at the buffet, and at the airport. You’ll want to keep water on your and its expensive if you have to keep buying it! The Southern Nevada Health District recommends one glass of water per hour.

2. Stay Inside During The Day

The hottest times of the day are going to be in the late morning and early afternoon. Do some inside stuff during the day and then head outside at night. The lights are pretty cool anyway!

3. Wear Sunscreen

This pale white girl from Canada wore SPF 50 at all times. AND NO SUNBURNS!

4. Get Lip Balm With SPF

You do not want sunburned lips, trust me.

5. Bring A Sweater Anyway

The casinos/ air-conditioning feels cold compared to the outside world.

6. Be Prepared For Crowds

Las Vegas is crowded in the summer. The pools, and hotels will be packed, be prepared for less deals and full price shows!

7. Bring A Hat

Nobody wants a sunburned scalp!

8. Drink Alcohol Starting At Happy Hour

If you start drinking in the afternoon you will 100% end up dehydrated. Drink one glass of water for each boozy drink to keep yourself hydrated.

9. Rest When You Can

Don’t over exert yourself in the heat. If you start to feel dizzy or unwell get into a cool area and hydrate! Heat exhaustion can turn into heat stroke, which is dangerous and needs medical attention.

10. Wear Loose Clothing

It’s easier for your body to cool itself down without tight clothing.
