In May, Las Vegas greets you with warmth that hints at the scorching summer ahead. Temperatures soar, making midday feel like you're walking through an invisible wall of heat. Mornings, however, are a different story. They start off cool, offering a brief respite before the sun climbs higher. You'll find me sipping iced coffee on a patio, soaking in the mild air before thermometers push past 80°F, often reaching up to 90°F or more.

Rain? Hardly a concern. Clouds in this desert city are as rare as winning a jackpot. Skies stay clear, painting a perfect backdrop for any outdoor plans. Yet, don't let the dryness fool you. Hydration becomes your best friend, with water bottles as constant companions.

Nights offer another layer of magic. As the sun sets, temperatures dip, creating ideal conditions for exploring the neon-lit Strip or enjoying al fresco dining. It's a time when the city truly comes alive, buzzing with energy and cooler air.

So, packing for Vegas in May? Think layers. Light clothing for the day's heat, something warmer for cooler evenings. And never forget sunscreen. Trust me, you'll need it.
