Las Vegas, USA

Las Vegas is located in the middle of the desert and has a warm climate all year round. The advantage of Las Vegas is that the climate is dry, which means that you do not sweat as much even if it is very hot. During the high summer, however, temperatures can reach 45 degrees, so we prefer a visit in May where the average temperature is around 30 degrees and the chance of precipitation is extremely small.
