We are thinking of visiting this exciting city next July with 3 children under 17. what is the temperature in mid July? is it easier to drive from LA or San Fran, what is the difference in distance. What is a great but cheap family hotel - our oldest is 17 next 14 and baby is 12

look forward to hearing!

In the low 100%26#39;s

Cheap family Hotel, Excalibur or Circus Circus

Step up some and look into MGM.

temperature in July

Sorry, San Fran is about 550 miles from LV and LA is about 230 miles from LV

Personally I would never vist Vegas in July it is just too HOT can be over 40º C and it will be especially challenging with children that will be limited in where they can go because they are not 21.

I often go to Las Vegas in July. As a matter of fact, I went to Las Vegas, exactly one week ago today and stayed for 2 nights.

Sunday and Monday, it was warm... like in the upper 80%26#39;s. It even rained on Monday. It was rather overcast on both days.

When I checked out at 4am Tuesday morning, it was already H-O-T!! The temperature was expected to climb up to 105F!! Las Vegas is in the desert, so that is the type of heat, one can expect especially in July.

If you have children, you should avoid cheap hotels. They will want to get out and have some fun, but you will need to make sure they are in a large cool resort like MGM Grand, Cesaers, or New York New York. I highly recommend NYNY! It has that Cony(sp) Island atmosphere

I just returned on Wed from a week in Vegas. One day it reached 107!! It was very HOT, but tolerable for me (and I do not like heat, but have figured out it%26#39;s the heat and humidity combo that is hard on me) That day we actually walked from the PH area down to the Luxor and hit everything in between. I do not think that kids that age would tolerate that heat willingly. I saw lots of unhappy children. I would steer clear of Circus Circus as it was an absolute zoo in there. Better for younger children (IMHO). I would think you would be better at Excalibur or NY NY, in that area. MGM has the lion habitat, Excalibur has it%26#39;s show, NYNY has a HUGE arcade and roller coaster and it is all in the same area.

Chances are it is going to be extremely hot. The average high temp- 104 but it has gone up to 116. The nights are somewhat cooler but not by much. It is a dry heat but it will still feel like an oven. I have gone to Vegas during the summer and it is doable. You have to make sure you drink plenty of water and then drink some more-it is easy to get dehydrated without realizing it. Bring sunglasses and a hat and use plenty of suntan lotion. If you find yourself getting too hot while walking on the strip- pop into the nearest casino for a cool drink and a rest. Since you will have kids with you you will not be able to stay in any of the casino areas but most places do have places where you can buy soda or water.

Many of the hotels have cheaper rates during the summer. You will want a hotel that has a nice pool for your children. MGM does have several nice pools. It is a big hotel but many people like it.

I usually go in July (doing August this year though.) In 2006 it got up to 115 when I was visiting!

TheDiceMan - some interesting stats Thanks

You know the saying ';If you can%26#39;t take the heat stay out of the kitchen'; that also applies to Vegas and that%26#39;s one of the reasons I%26#39;m going first week of Nov

We always visit in July or August (we%26#39;re leaving a week from today!!)

Love the desert heat... but only when by the pool during the day. We spend hours at the pool... shade, lots of sunblock, water - all a necessity. The evenings are warm but beautiful (for us at least). We love the heat/no humidity combo. :)
