Planning your trip to Las Vegas
Contains sponsored linksBy late March the Mojave has warmed into a comfortable spring, with dry afternoons in the low to mid-twenties Celsius and cool evenings — the last stretch before the desert heat becomes serious. A developer conference here sits inside the resort-and-convention machine of the Strip, but March is also the best month of the year for what surrounds the city: the Colorado river canyons, the sandstone valleys and the high desert are all within a short drive and at their most pleasant.
Getting there & around
Harry Reid International (LAS) is close to the resort corridor at typically 10-20 minutes by road. The Las Vegas Monorail runs behind the eastern Strip resorts, and rideshare pick-up points at large hotels are often a long walk from the lobby. For excursions beyond the city a rental car is the practical choice, since most desert sites have no transit service at all.
Skip the taxi queue — pre-book a fixed-price airport transfer with Welcome Pickups. Exploring beyond the city? compare rental cars on EconomyBookings.
Staying connected
Hotel and convention Wi-Fi is widely available, though resort fees and tiered speeds are common. Mobile coverage drops sharply once you leave the valley for the desert parks. An eSIM with a solid US network avoids being without maps on those drives. Set up an eSIM with Airalo before you board and you're online the moment you land.
After the sessions
Hoover Dam. Forty-five minutes south-east, a 1930s concrete arch dam holding back Lake Mead, with powerplant tours descending into the generator hall. The engineering and the Art Deco detailing both hold up. Half a day including the drive; the adjacent bypass bridge walkway gives the best view.
Valley of Fire State Park. Nevada's oldest state park, about an hour north-east, with red Aztec sandstone formations, petroglyph panels and short trails such as Fire Wave. March is the ideal month before summer heat closes it off. Half a day, and carry more water than seems necessary.
Las Vegas Arts District. South of downtown, an area of galleries, independent breweries, record shops and vintage stores that operates entirely outside the resort economy. First Friday brings the largest monthly street event. Three hours in an evening, and it is roughly fifteen minutes from the Strip.
National Atomic Testing Museum. A Smithsonian-affiliated museum documenting the Nevada Test Site and the atomic era that shaped the region, with declassified material and a simulated test observation. Two hours, and it is a short ride east of the Strip near the university. Tickets on Go City →
