Las Vegas Holidays 2025 & 2026

UK visitors will need an ESTA for Las Vegas holiday. An ESTA is an online application that grants permission to enter the U.S. You will need to complete your ESTA application no less than 72 hours prior to travel and can be done through the government website or free ESTA mobile app.

Tipping is customary in Las Vegas, and it's generally expected for good service. In restaurants, a tip of 15-20% is standard, while hotel staff, taxi drivers, and other service workers also appreciate tips. Although it's not mandatory, tipping is an important part of the service culture in the city.

Las Vegas is 8 hours behind the UK, meaning you’ll gain some extra time to enjoy the bright lights city. This time difference can vary during daylight saving time.

The main airport in Las Vegas is Harry Reid International Airport (LAS), which is just a few miles off the Las Vegas Strip. It is the primary gateway for travellers flying in and out of the city. Other airports include Henderson Executive Airport (HND), and North Las Vegas Airport, less than 6 miles from Downtown Vegas.

For some, the best time to visit Las Vegas is in the spring and autumn months, when the weather is a little milder and you can explore without sweltering too much. However, due to this, it is also a busier time, so if you would prefer a less crowded Vegas holiday, summer and winter may suit your needs better.

In Las Vegas, you can get around using several options, including taxis, rideshare services like Uber and Lyft, and the Deuce bus, which runs along the Strip.

The Monorail is another convenient option for traveling along the Strip. For short distances, walking is also popular, as many attractions are close together.

If you’d prefer to rent a car, particularly if you’re looking to venture outside of the Strip, then we can offer car hire for USA holidays. From 15-seater vans to compact two door cars, we can cater to all party sizes.

Las Vegas has a desert climate, characterised by hot summers and mild winters. Summer temperatures often exceed 38 degrees, while winters are cooler, with daytime highs around 10-15 degrees. Rain is rare, but occasional showers can occur, mostly in the winter months.

Most visitors find that four to five days in Las Vegas is ideal to experience the main attractions, shows, and nightlife. This gives you enough time to explore the Strip, visit a few casinos, attend a show, and take a day trip to nearby sights like the Grand Canyon or Hoover Dam.
