Las Vegas in August....is it really HOT?

We planning to go Mirage, Las Vegas on Aug 17. Is it really burning hot? Can we stay outside during the day? Anybody had experience? Please share...Las Vegas in August....is it really HOT?
If you are an out of stater and have humidity near your house. No. If you live here, it cannot get much hotter than it has been in recent days.
It can be excruciatingly hot, or you could hit a break and have a few days that are nice.



Something to really keep in mind. During the day the temperatures rising off the concrete are much higher than the posted temperature.



You've heard the saying "It's a "dry" heat". And that applies here. Hot can be tolerable.



The real problems start at 104 degrees which is the temperature your body will start to really feel the heat in as little as 20 minutes.



It's very important if you are going to be out and about to hydrate even if you do not feel thirsty. If you drink alcohol, do it in the evenings not early in the day it will make dehydration worse. Bring sunglasses, a hat and comfortable loose clothing and really good shoes.



The good news is the tall buildings provide shady areas, and you can just duck in and out of air conditioned Hotels.



In any case have a fun trip. I try to avoid the strip in the mid afternoon, but other than that don't really find the heat too overbearing as long as the temp is below 104Las Vegas in August....is it really HOT?
It will be HOT. But like we locals say "but it's a DRY heat!" lol (yeah - like an oven is dry heat..)



Ok, this is what you do. If you are not used to hot weather do not even attempt to walk the Strip during the daytime. You will overheat. Stay indoors (like in the casinos, duh!) or play at your hotel's pool. Be sure to wear sunscreen.



Be sure to hydrate yourself by drinking lots of fluids (but NOT alcohol which has the opposite effect) during the day. Wear lightweight, light colored clothes and comfortable shoes.



If you insist on walking, say....from the Mirage to the MGM or any more than one city block (our blocks are equal to about 5 or 6 blocks in any other town, optical illusion that everything is close cuz the hotels are so huge) be aware that if you get light headed, nauseated, confused etc, that you could be having a heat stroke.



Best to say indoors during the day and not walk too overly far at night.
Yeah it's hot in Vegas. You'll sweat the balls you didn't know you had off really fast. During the day if you pop in and out of the ac a lot you will survive. But seriously, drink water like it is going out of style, even if you don't feel like you need to. If you are from a humid place, it won't feel as hot as you are used to but then you will see the temp and be like wtf?!?! It's bad, but semi bearable and so worth it, just drink water you don't want heat exhaustion.
yeah its gonna be really hot. around 110 degrees at the most. if you can stand the heat (and wear sunblock) then you can stay outside, but if i were you, i would stay outside at night when its a little cooler and just walk around in different hotels during the day where there's a/c. have fun! =)
Yes it's extremely hot in august in vegas. But its also our monsoon season so there could be thunderstorms in which case it's hot AND muggy! I would recommend staying at the hotel during the day and hanging by the pool, then at night walk around and sightsee. It cools off to around 90 at night! Have fun!
i live in vegas and it HOTTER THAN HOT! if you wanna do sumthin fun durin the day but dont wanna burn your a$$ off go to circus circus or the fashion show mall. its gonna be hot and your gonna b shocked. today it was 113 degrees.
July and August are the hottest months in Las Vegas. Expect the temperature to be over 100 degrees everyday during those months.



Here is Vegas monthly temperatures.
