January promises to be a quiet, affordable month in Las Vegas
Average temperature low and high: 39° - 58°
The city spends part of January cleaning up from New Year’s events and preparing for the spring tourism rush, but those indulging in Sin City nightlife may find benefits on a budget. Covers at nightclubs are usually lower and lines shorter with more room on the dance floor. You could save on hotels and shows too. Just remember to bring a jacket and bundle up!
