It's not uncommon for winter nighttime temps to hover around freezing, though it is really unusual for it to snow.
Life Doesn't Take Place On The Strip
Technically, The Strip isn't really even in Vegas; it's actually in Paradise, Nevada. While the four-mile Las Vegas Boulevard passage is the home of world-class food and superior home entertainment, it's also crowded, pricey, and has mad traffic. As a Vegas regional you'll almost never ever go to the tourist trap (till all your long lost pals decide to come crash on your sofa ). Rather, inspect out the restaurants and home entertainment in areas like Summerlin, Downtown Vegas, and Town Square.
Getting Around
Outside the Strip and downtown locations, Las Vegas is a sprawling rural area. It's about a 40-minute drive from one end of the city to the other, so you will require an automobile. Public transit is nothing to compose home about, however the city is extremely easy to acquaint yourself with. The traffic pales in contrast to bigger metros like Los Angeles and Houston, however these are high congestion locations. The worst traffic in Vegas centers around the Strip, in addition to the infamous "spaghetti junction", a highway crossway near downtown.
