Thinking of Visiting Vegas During Peak Season? Start Planning Earlier Than You Think
If you’re considering a Las Vegas trip during peak season, or know someone who is, waiting even a few weeks can mean the difference between an incredible experience and a frustrating disaster.
When Vegas Gets Busy
The busiest times to visit Las Vegas are:
- Early January (CES)
- March (March Madness + spring break)
- Late May (Memorial Day + EDC are the busiest weekends of the year)
- Fourth of July
- Labor Day
- Halloween weekend
- Early November (SEMA)
- Early December (NFR rodeo)
- New Year’s Eve
- Super Bowl weekend
But here’s the surprise: A random Tuesday in January might be just as packed. The Las Vegas Convention Center spans nearly 3 million square feet (that’s over 50 football fields of convention space!). CES brings 130,000+ people. SEMA draws 160,000+. Corporate events regularly flood the city with 50,000-100,000 attendees you never knew about.
How Far in Advance Should You Book?
Book as soon as you know your dates, ideally 2-6 months ahead for peak times. The larger your group, the further in advance you need to plan. Coordinating 10-20 people? Start even earlier. This single step can prevent your entire trip from becoming a disaster.
What Happens When You Wait?
Hotels sell out or double their rates. Nightclub table prices jump significantly. Restaurants stop taking reservations. Limos and party buses sell out first—then regular transportation becomes impossible with 45+ minute Uber waits.
Nothing’s worse than spending money, coordinating schedules, taking time off—then arriving unable to do what you came for.
