Las Vegas Weather August 12-16, 2011 + A Limo Tip

Temperatures just above 100º will prevail through Tuesday. There is a slight chance of a thunderstorm on Saturday. Usually, storms are quick and sporadic. It can rain like crazy in one part of the valley and never touch The Strip. Overall, Las Vegas Weather for August 12-16, 2011 will be comfortable. Plus, I have a tip that could make you feel like a high roller.

Vegas is a massive place when you're on the ground walking. If you plan on going from casino to casino, forget the high heels and flip-flops. Wear comfortable shoes. You don't realize how far you have to walk to get from the sidewalk to the casinos on the west side of The Strip. Do your feet a favor and get those comfy shoes on and have a great time.

WHAT ABOUT A LIMO?

Business has been down in Las Vegas and a lot of the service providers have dropped their prices. When things were booming about five or six years ago, a limo would cost $100 per hour. I've seen stretch limos with signs in the windows - $40 an hour.

If you have a gang, there is no more stylish way to enjoy the nightlife of Las Vegas than to be carted around in a limo. You can check with several companies when you get to Las Vegas by looking in the phone book. Or ask the Concierge.

Tell the limo company how many hours you want the limo for and see if they can cut a deal for you. If you have a gang, you can all split the cost. It will actually be cheaper than a cab and way cooler. And Vegas is all about showing your cool.

Just a thought. I've done it and I've never regretted it.
