Ninth Island Connection

The Mirage Volcano made its comeback in mid-March and will operate nightly every hour from 8pm to 11pm. Catch the shows while you can, as this Vegas landmark will go away for good once Hardrock begins construction on their planned guitar shaped hotel tower. At this time, they have not made the information of when this will happen public.

March is typically when the Vegas Valley starts to warm up.  Average daily highs are in the 70’s, making for the perfect outdoor weather.  This is a great time to take advantage of all of the parks and hiking trails just outside of the Strip. At night, the temps do tend to drop 20-30 degrees, so you’ll want to pack warmer clothes for the evenings.

If you’re looking for a place to watch the game, you will want to make those plans well in advance. Casino Sportsbooks and restaurants will both be requiring paid reservations. Restaurants on the Strip tend to have a set price that includes a table and food and beverages for the price.

There are approximately 60-70 different conference/trade shows taking place through the month covering quite the array of vendors.  We’re talking food to concrete, cosplay to adult entertainment.

December is quite the festive month here on the Ninth Island! Along with the glittering neon lights that Las Vegas is known for, holiday displays and attractions add to the glow, both on and off the Strip.

Those hot days of the summer are gone, and the cooler weather is here.  The average daily temperature in November is in the upper 60s to lower 70s, but it does cool down quite a bit at night.  This makes for great weather for hiking and exploring the outdoor attractions located throughout the Vegas Valley.

It’s fall in Vegas! So just what does that mean? The short answer is busy and unpredictable but let me elaborate on what you can expect if you’re visiting the Ninth Island in the fall.

September 15th also kicks off Hispanic Heritage Month, which runs through October 15th. There are several events being held in celebration of the Hispanic Culture throughout the Vegas Valley, as well as a large influx of popular Latin Musicians.

So, what draws people to say, "I do" in Sin City? The Wedding experts at Vegas Weddings credit the popularity to the vast array of options for ceremonies, as well as the affordability of wedding packages. 

If you’re planning a trip to Vegas over the Fourth of July, be prepared for both The Strip and Downtown to be busy and crowded.
