At-a-glance: what to expect month by month
Las Vegas weather and event calendars drive the best time to visit Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino. Spring (Mar–May) and fall (Sep–Nov) offer mild days and cooler nights; summer is very hot but is when pool facilities are in full use; winter is coolest with fewer outdoor options.
Westgate is adjacent to the Las Vegas Convention Center and has an onsite Monorail stop, so convention schedules, major sporting events, and trade shows can strongly affect room rates and crowds any time of year.
- Pool season: roughly March 15–October 15 (seasonal rooftop pool; subject to change).
- Best weather for outdoor activities: mid-March through May and October–November.
- Hottest months: June–August (July is typically the hottest).
- Coolest months: December–February.

January–February: winter, lower rates, and quieter pools
Expect the coolest daytime highs of the year in January and February (average highs near the upper 50s°F) and cooler nights. This is a good time for lower room rates and less-crowded casino and dining areas.

- Pool: closed (seasonal pool typically reopens in mid-March).
- Room choices: all room types including Premier Room, Luxe Room, Signature Room, and Wildcard - Assigned at Check-In Room are offered year-round.
- Good for: convention attendees who prefer quieter accommodations and travelers seeking lower rates.
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Lower crowds and often lower nightly rates | No rooftop pool access |
| Easier restaurant and show reservations | Cooler weather for outdoor activities |
| Indoor amenities fully available (casino, spa, fitness center) | Shorter daylight hours |
March–May: spring and the ideal window for pool and outdoor plans
March–May is widely considered one of the best stretches to visit Las Vegas for comfortable daytime temps (spring highs climb from the 60s into the 80s) and to enjoy outdoor activities without extreme heat. Westgate’s seasonal rooftop pool usually reopens around March 15, so poolside access returns in this period.
This is a popular time for convention travel, so check event calendars near the Las Vegas Convention Center; weekday conventions can push rates higher even in spring.
- Pool season: usually open from mid-March; pool hours vary by day and season.
- Good for: pool time, tennis, outdoor golf at nearby course, walking the Strip and sightseeing.
- Dining: restaurants like Sid's, Viva Coffee & Espresso, and Pool Bar & Grill resume seasonal service patterns.
| Month | Weather / Notes |
|---|---|
| March | Cooler spring; pool often reopens mid-month |
| April | Mild days, good for outdoor plans |
| May | Warming into low-90s possible; pool usage increases |
June–August: summer heat and full pool operation
June through August brings the hottest weather of the year (July typically the hottest month). If you’re comfortable with high temperatures, this period offers full pool operations, cabana and daybed availability, and lively poolside service.
Summer is also a busy leisure season; expect more guests around the pool and popular dining slots can fill. If heat is a concern, plan indoor activities during mid-afternoon and use the rooftop pool or shaded cabanas in the early morning or evening.
- Typical highs: consistently high 90s to 100s°F by mid-summer.
- Pool: rooftop pool open with cabanas, daybeds, and Pool Bar & Grill service.
- Tip: book popular restaurants (Edge Steakhouse, Benihana) and cabanas in advance when possible.
| When to go | Why |
|---|---|
| Early June | Warm pool weather with slightly fewer crowds than July |
| July | Peak heat and high pool usage |
| August | Still hot; good pool access but plan for busy weekends |
September–November: fall is another sweet spot
Late September through November brings comfortable daytime highs and cool evenings (October is often cited as one of the best weeks for Las Vegas weather). The rooftop pool season usually runs through mid-October, so early fall offers both pleasant temperatures and pool access.
Fall also tends to have fewer extreme-heat days, making it a good window for walking the Strip, visiting nearby attractions, and scheduling outdoor excursions like Red Rock Canyon or Hoover Dam day trips.
- Best months for outdoor comfort: October and November.
- Pool: typically available through about October 15 (seasonal pool schedule subject to change).
- Good for: outdoor sightseeing, golf at Las Vegas National, and easier restaurant reservations than busy summer or holiday weeks.
| Month | Visitor note |
|---|---|
| September | Warming down from summer; still some hot days early in the month |
| October | Very comfortable weather; mid-October often excellent |
| November | Cooler nights and fewer crowds except for holiday weekends |
December: holiday events and variable rates
December brings the coolest weather of the year and higher variability in room rates because of holiday events, New Year’s Eve, and special shows. Outdoor pool access is usually closed for the seasonal pool by December.
If you want lower midweek rates and don’t need the pool, early December can offer reasonable deals. Expect higher crowds and premium pricing for the holiday weeks and New Year’s.
- Pool: seasonal pool closed for winter months.
- Good for: indoor dining, shows, casino gaming, and spa services at Serenity Spa & Salon.
- Tip: check convention and event calendars—trade shows or big events can move rates at any time of year.
| Plan | Expect |
|---|---|
| Early–mid December | Lower crowds except around holiday events |
| Late December (holidays) | Higher rates and higher demand, book early |
| New Year’s Eve | Special events and busy public areas |
