Las Vegas, Nev. – A soft desert breeze slides through the valley as dawn breaks over Red Rock Canyon, and the lights of the Strip fade into daylight. For now, southern Nevada is basking in calm — the kind of golden, dry stretch that defines late October in the Mojave.
According to the National Weather Service in Las Vegas, Thursday starts mostly sunny with highs near 81°F and light west winds. No rain, no dust storms, no drama — just the steady warmth and crisp desert air that make this time of year a local favorite. Travelers along I-15 and U.S. 95 can expect smooth driving and clear visibility throughout the day.
Friday keeps the rhythm going: highs again around 81°F under mostly sunny skies, with gentle northwest breezes late in the afternoon. Evenings cool comfortably into the lower 60s, offering perfect conditions for outdoor dining, night hikes, or watching the Bellagio fountains without the summer heat.
Saturday looks nearly identical — highs in the low 80s, dry air, and bright sunshine. A few clouds could drift through by late evening, but no precipitation is expected through at least Tuesday. The calm pattern stretches into next week, keeping daytime highs near 80°F and nights mild in the upper 50s.
For now, Las Vegas sits under ideal autumn weather — clear, dry, and serene. But after all, it’s October in the desert. A shift toward cooler, windier conditions is likely lurking just beyond Halloween, as the first whispers of winter move down from the Great Basin.
