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!

See a Trade Show in Las Vegas

After taking on a virtual format last year, the Consumer Technology Association’s International CES 2022 trade show is expected to bring close to 200,000 people to Las Vegas between January 5 and 8 with proof of vaccination required. It’s one of the city’s largest conventions, both in the number of attendees and economic impact. The show is so large it occupies space in the Las Vegas Convention Center, the Wynn, and Encore, the Sands Expo Center at the Palazzo and Venetian, and CityCenter, which consists of the Aria, Park MGM, and Vdara.

Despite signing a three-year agreement at Virgin Hotels, the AVN Expo & Awards is opting to go fully digital for the second year in a row. The event honors players in the adult entertainment industry.
