Below, we answer all of your possible outfit questions about a visit to Vegas during this winter month.
Weather Overview
For everyone visiting Las Vegas from the southwestern states, the temperatures will feel slightly lower in February. However, the weather will feel more like a pleasant spring month than a cold winter for those from northern states or many European countries.
The city of Las Vegas is located in the state of Nevada, in the Mojave Desert. Because of its location in the desert, the city has a relatively dry environment with low humidity levels and very little rain, even in February.
Most days are clear in February, and the daytime temperatures are mild. The weather is pleasant, with average highs of 66°F (19°C) degrees, and it only rains on two or three days. It’s about 15°F degrees cooler in the mornings.
Even if you are visiting from a warmer state or country, the cooler temps in February in Vegs shouldn’t create an issue as you can spend a large portion of your time inside, enjoying the attractions and the nightlife.
It can be colder than expected at the beginning of February. However, temperatures gradually rise slightly as the month progresses:
- Early February: 61°F (16°C)
- Mid-February: 64°F (18°C)
- Late February: 68°F (20°C)
Wind: Keep in mind that the perceived temperature is sometimes noticeably lower due to some windy days. It feels much colder when it is breezy, or even windy, with up to 30-35 MPH in the city.
Rain: February also sees a little more precipitation than other months of the year, but nothing that would prevent you from enjoying your vacation. On average, you can expect to see light rain, about an inch in total, throughout the month.
Additionally, the rain showers are usually light and quickly moving. It’s unlikely that you get soaked.
Colder Mornings and Evenings: As desert nights can get especially cold, be prepared for fairly chilly mornings and nights in February. It’s roughly 15 degrees colder in the early morning at 8 AM compared to 3 PM.
Typical examples of average temperatures at different times:
Early February:
- 8 AM: 48°F
- 12 PM: 58°F
- 3 PM: 63°F
Late February:
- 8 AM: 50°F
- 12 PM: 62°F
- 3 PM: 65°F
Is There Snow in Vegas in February?
It rarely snows in Las Vegas. In February, the average snowfall is only 0.1 inches, and it snows on 0.1 days on average. Therefore, it’s unlikely to see snowflakes during this month. While it happens very rarely, there are years when a snowstorm hits the city on one or two days in February.
Outfit Tips and Packing Guide
Make sure you have a light jacket in your suitcase that you can wear in the mornings when it’s colder outside. When visiting in early February, pack a medium coat as well. If you’re going to The Strip at night, you’ll want to layer up, so put layers of sweaters and t-shirts into your suitcase first.

If you plan on visiting golf courses or hiking some trails this month, make sure to have proper footwear and clothing for that kind of activity. If you’re going to Las Vegas for Valentine’s Day, bring a couple of smarter outfits to follow the dress codes in restaurants, clubs, and casinos.
A Typical Day
9 AM
Dress warmly when leaving your hotel in the morning, especially if youâre leaving in the very early morning hours. You will still feel the last bit of the biting nighttime cold before the sun begins to warm the city. Wear jeans or pants and layer a T-shirt or long-sleeved shirt under a jacket or thick sweatshirt.
12 PM
Even if you tend to get very cold no matter the weather, you should be feeling much more comfortable by noon than you were in the morning hours. If necessary, you can peel off your outer layer and walk around in your long-sleeved shirt. If you are a particularly chilly person, you would benefit from carrying a lighter sweater with you to swap with your jacket around this time.
3 PM
Daytime temperatures normally peak at this time. If you made the smart choice to layer up, you should be able to go down to your base T-shirt or long-sleeved shirt and feel perfectly comfortable for the rest of the afternoon.
6 PM
Once the sun goes down for the evening, you will find yourself re-applying your layers, especially if you happen to encounter a windy night. If you are returning to your hotel room to get ready for your evening activities, youâll want to change into nice closed-toed shoes or boots, smart pants or trousers, and a blouse or collared long-sleeved shirt that will pair well with your jacket. Even if you donât feel cold enough to wear the jacket right away, bring it with you to layer up later.
9 PM
If you felt fine exploring the Vegas nightlife in just one layer at the beginning of the night, you will be happy to have a jacket handy around this time. Make sure youâre prepared with a warm outer layer.
Morning vs. Afternoon
Because the days in February start chilly, it is necessary to bundle up in the mornings. However, you can usually shed those layers later, around noon, and wear a t-shirt when the temps are nearing 70°F degrees.
Is a Heavy Winter Jacket Required?
- Material: EVALESS bomber jacket is made of lightweight, high-quality fabric. Stay cozy and stylish this fall...
- Comfy Material: 50% Polyester+50% Cotton,the material is thick and comfortable,keep you warm in fall and winter
Depending on what level of winter cold you are used to, you may need a jacket that is on the thicker side. Keep in mind that in this last full month of winter, the daytime will not be so frigid as many would imagine in a desert.
While you will want to bring a light or medium jacket for the chilly mornings and evenings, you likely wonât require a very heavy jacket during your trip.
đĄ If you come from a northern or midwestern part of the United States, you will probably be happy walking around the Strip in just a long-sleeved shirt on a sunny afternoon. In this case, you should be fine with a few layers and a light or medium jacket for the cold mornings and late evenings.
If you originate from an always-sunny state where shorts and sandals are part of the daily uniform year-round, you will find yourself reaching for a medium to heavy coat, especially in the February mornings.
If you donât want to look too out of place or take up too much of your luggage space with such a thick jacket, plan on packing plenty of shirts and long-sleeves that you can layer under a medium jacket instead.

In Las Vegas, shorts and t-shirts can be worn on sunny afternoons in February, especially in the second half of the month. Due to cooler temperatures in the mornings or evenings, jeans, a sweater, and a jacket are more suitable.

There is so much to see in Las Vegas that does not lie in the Strip. If youâre planning on an outdoor adventure in the outskirts of the city during your trip, itâs important to be prepared in terms of your outfit and supplies, since it will be quite a drive back to your hotel if you forget anything important.
Whether youâre planning on a picnic at Lake Mead, a hike through Red Rock Canyon, or a chance to see the last of the winter snow at Mount Charleston, you should plan on wearing comfortable walking shoes and warm clothes you can move freely in.
Women should wear leggings or stretchy pants for freedom of movement, a comfortable sports bra, and a long-sleeved athletic shirt. These shirts are convenient because they are sweat-wicking and tight-fitted, so they are perfect to layer with a light to medium jacket if you get cold in the high altitudes of a destination like Red Rock Canyon.
Men should plan to wear joggers or sweatpants and a long-sleeved athletic shirt to layer with a light jacket. Everyone should come prepared with thick, comfortable socks and supportive walking or hiking shoes.
If making your way to snow-packed Mount Charleston, thick pants and boots would be best.
A spare sweater or jacket is a great idea to pack in the car on your day trip, as the winds and altitude can make temperatures much colder than they are in the city. Itâs better to take more layers than fewer, because you can always take off an outer layer if the exercise raises your body temperature.
Tip: Even if you donât think the weather is too cold and want to wear shorts and a short-sleeved shirt, we recommend covering up as much skin as possible, especially when hiking, to protect yourself from bugs, plants, and other flora and fauna you may come into contact with in the wild desert.
Outdoor activities: If you plan to venture out into the nearby hiking areas during the daytime, wear light layers and hiking boots.

Many tourists choose to walk the Strip but donât realize the entire distance is over 4 miles long. That doesnât include walking through the casinos! Make sure to bring a pair of comfortable shoes or plan on hailing a rideshare to save your feet. We recommend a pair of stylish sneakers!
If youâre used to freezing winter temperatures and want to bring a pair of sandals or flip-flops to walk around in, make sure they offer good support.
Accessories | Bags
Bring a suitable bag in February! You will need one for carrying water, your wallet, phone, jacket, and hand sanitizer.
We always suggest a bag with anti-theft features (see our recommendations above) to keep your belongings safe in the city!
đ Tourists in Vegas are an easy target for thieves, particularly in congested areas such as downtown, Fremont Street, the Strip, and on the monorail. Be cautious and carry an anti-theft bag.
Long Sleeves Are Safer Than T-Shirts
- Material:The basic Tops is made of 82% Polyester+12%Rayon+6%Spandex
We recommend packing plenty of long-sleeved shirts for layering. While T-shirts also work well, long sleeves will be a more versatile option, as they will keep you warm when you donât need your outer layer but still need some protection from the chill.
You can also roll your sleeves up or down as much as needed to remain comfortable, depending on your temperature.
Layers: Remember to bring clothes that you can layer over each other and take off if it warms up in the afternoons. Temperatures can sometimes get into the 60s, so depending on what youâre used to, you may be comfortable just wearing short sleeves.
The secret is adjustability: always pack and carry various layers. A sweatshirt or a sweater, in general, is a smart choice this time of year.
Weather Visitor Reports and Clothing Tips
- ‘I’ve been in Vegas in February, and it snowed one morning, but two days later, it was 65°F and very comfortable.’
- ‘Temps do vary, but nights are usually pretty chilly, even on lovely days. Visitors sometimes forget about the wind. The main temperature may be 70°F, but it can feel a lot colder if the wind is blowing hard.’
- ‘I always check average temps and bring layers and a jacket, especially for mornings and nights in early February. Visiting in late February, you won’t need the gloves.’
- ‘I visit Las Vegas every February. It’s my favorite time to escape the harsh Canadian winter. It’s pleasant enough for me, but not pool weather. Generally, jeans and tangier climate and a light sweater for the night. Maybe a light sweater for the daytime if you chill easily.’

If you get cold easily or are used to warm weather, you will want to bundle up as much as you can in your evening attire.
You should dress your best on your night out in Vegas, but especially if you are visiting for a special occasion like Valentineâs Day. While it will be chilly in the late evenings, you will be able to dress well without having to worry about snowstorm levels of cold.

Ladies, if you plan on wearing a short or more revealing dress on your night out, consider wearing some shimmery stockings or a thick stylish coat as well to protect yourself from the cold weather while still looking glamorous. Show your style in your jewelry and shoe choices to elevate your outfits if you feel limited by the need to dress warmly.
Men can easily pair nice trousers with a collared shirt and sweater or suit, which will help keep you warm.
Tip: If youâre going to a nightclub, you may want to skip the jacket altogether as the clubs donât usually offer a coat check.
Tip: If you plan to wear high heels in the evening, pack a pair of flats in your bag. If thatâs not an option due to the size dimensions of your bag, bring a thick pair of socks in your bag. Since you likely wonât have an opportunity to switch shoes if your feet begin to hurt, this will keep you from walking around the Vegas streets or casinos barefoot.
Do I Need to Worry About the Legendary Desert Sunshine?
Visiting Las Vegas in February means you get to see the breathtaking sights while enjoying the crisp winter air and avoiding the baking heat that summer visitors are forced to experience. Alongside this is the perk of not needing to take such extreme measures to protect your skin from extreme UV rays.

Winter means a much lower UV index than you would typically see in the spring or summer seasons. While you should always wear sunscreen, you can opt for a lower SPF or reapply less.
Tip: Even if you plan on covering up more with a sweater or some layers, itâs a good idea to apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher for your face and neck area.

Whether or not you do well with tolerating cold weather, we recommend bringing one jacket you can wear with every outfit. Whether itâs medium or heavy will depend on how used to the cold you are and how warm you want to be.
In our experience, we need at least two layers when going out and about in the early mornings or late evenings.
Tip: Even though I am from a very warm state and donât have much experience with very cold climates, I love feeling the chilly air in the winter. While I donât want to be shaking and frozen, I want to be able to feel some of the cold and the sharp wind.
đĄ I find that the best combination in the winter is a T-shirt layered under a thick sweatshirt or medium jacket!

Personal Experiences
Bring spare clothes: If youâre the kind of person who brings just enough clothes to last your trip, Iâd strongly suggest you rethink that strategy before your Vegas vacation. Pack one or two full extra outfits in case of emergencies.
I got caught in some rain during my last day in Vegas; while it wasnât exactly a monsoon, I was just damp enough that it bothered me and forced me to go back to my hotel to change.
The outfit that got damp is what I was planning to wear to the airport, and I had no more clean clothes left. I ended up borrowing a sweater from my friend for the rest of the day and the trip home, and it was miserable waiting for the rest of my clothes to dry in the chilly air.
Pack abundantly!
Pack a scarf: Consider packing a scarf in your luggage if you are coming to visit from a warmer climate.

My mom is a Florida native and thinks anything below 75 degrees Fahrenheit is freezing. Whenever she comes to Vegas in the cold months, she is prepared with dozens of long-sleeved shirts, sweaters, and thick coats.
Her latest trend has been investing in good scarves to wear throughout her Vegas vacation, and she loves it! She says it helps protect the skin on her neck from the sun, reduces how sharp the wind feels on her face, and gives her something to breathe through when the air feels too cold for her nose.
Hats and hair ties will help on windy days: When visiting Las Vegas during a windy winter weekend, my hair was going all over the place and it was getting irritating. If you have long and thick hair like mine, have a backup plan to keep it up and out of your face in case of wind, because otherwise the gusts will leave you with tangles.
I ended up keeping my hair in a ponytail for most of my trip until I bought a cute bandana, which helped me let my hair down but still kept it out of my face during strong gusts of wind.
If youâre someone who likes hats, headbands, and bandanas, bring them along in your luggage just in case!

Even in the most upscale casinos, casual attire is completely acceptable, provided it’s neat and presentable.
Feel free to visit any Las Vegas casino in shirts and trousers without worrying about being judged for your choice of clothing.
Dressing for the Hotel Casino
In Las Vegas casinos, your attire can vary based on the hotel and time of day. During daytime, both men and women can go for a relaxed yet neat look with shorts or jeans, blouses, sport shirts with collars, or tasteful t-shirts.
In the evening, the dress code shifts slightly towards formality. Opt for jeans, slacks, blouses, skirts, dresses, button-down shirts, or jackets. Flip flops are a no-go.

The time of day influences your outfit choice for Las Vegas shows. Daytime shows are casual â prioritize comfort. Evening shows, especially upscale celebrity performances, often see guests dressing up more, though strict formal wear isn’t necessary.
Aim for an outfit that makes you feel comfortable and fitting in. For men, this might be dark jeans or slacks with a smart shirt, and for women, a dress or stylish ensemble suitable for an evening out.
In all these settings, the key is to balance comfort with style, keeping in mind the specific atmosphere of the place you’re visiting. Remember, Vegas is a place to impress and enjoy, so dress in a way that enhances your experience and confidence.

Conclusion
