Las Vegas in November 2025

Las Vegas in November is a tale of two halves. Early in the month, you’ll get mild weather, lighter crowds, and lower prices—ideal for exploring casinos, desert parks, or rooftop dining. Come mid-November, the Formula 1 Grand Prix transforms the Strip into a racetrack, triggering packed hotels, road closures, and sky-high prices.

4. Use the Las Vegas Monorail to bypass Strip traffic during F1 weekend.

5. Pack a warm coat for evening desert temps—it drops fast after 5 pm.
