Las Vegas Weather July 4-8, 2011 - Nice With A Little Heat All Week

When temperatures hover around 100º it is very manageable for locals and tourists in Las Vegas. Clouds will fill the skies on Monday and Tuesday, which to Las Vegans is actually a treat. You can get tired of sun, sun, sun, sun, sun... LOL.

Evenings and nights should be spectacular with temps in the mid-80's.

Thursday, there is a 30% chance of isolated thunderstorms. When it rains in Las Vegas, it comes down quick and in spots. You never get a whole day of drizzle or steady rain. This forecast for rain is more a hint than an actual threat. We'll have to see how the forecast shapes up the closer we get to Thursday.


AWAY FROM THE STRIP

If you're looking for activities away from The Strip, this would be a great week to see Red Rock Canyon.

Red Rock Canyon, 12 miles west of Las Vegas following Charleston Blvd., is one of the premier rock climbing and hiking venues in the world. It is absolutely gorgeous. And the weather will be perfect for enjoying the park.

The park has a visitor's center that details the history of the area and its pre-historic roots. To see the park area, it is $5.00 per vehicle. Red Rock Canyon is viewed on a 13-mile, one-way loop. Posted speed limit is 15 MPH, but you may want to go slower. Lots of places to stop and take pictures.

Enjoy your stay in Las Vegas. Try to take home some money. You'll have great Las Vegas weather through July 8th, 2011.

Walk in the morning or the evening. Hit the pool or beat the lines at the buffet with an early dinner. Stay indoors as much as you can during peak temperatures. The valley reaches its peak temperature around 4 pm - and all the concrete retains the heat, which makes it feel even hotter.

The nights will be gorgeous with lows in the mid 80's. For more details, see The Weather Channel online.

Sobriety Checkpoints All Over Las Vegas For July Fourth Weekend - Take Cab, Bus or Limo

Metro Police will be out in force with sobriety checkpoints.

When you get to Las Vegas, you have to grab a drink or plunk some money in a machine and get a "FREE" drink. As the "FREE" drinks flow, you can easily get too far out on the limb. A word of caution: Sobriety checkpoints will be all over Las Vegas for July Fourth Weekend - take a cab, bus or limo. 

Don't ruin you trip by driving drunk in Las Vegas. It's too easy to take a cab, take a bus or if you have a gang, rent a limo. With business down in Las Vegas, limos were going for about $35 to $50 an hour. If you have five or six people, and they each chip in $20 or $30, you can go all over town in style and never worry about anyone getting busted or worse - hurting someone else.

Keep in mind, the longer you rent the limo, the better the hourly rate should be. Shop around. You could have an absolute blast. I've done it several times and it was well worth it.

Also, you cannot hail a cab on the street in Las Vegas - it's against the law. You can only get a cab at a cab stand at a hotel or casino.

With sobriety checkpoints all over Las Vegas for the Fourth of July weekend, do the smart thing and take a cab, bus or limo. 

Have a great time, but do it responsibly.
