Weather in Las Vegas in February

Prime time. February is about as good as Las Vegas gets. Highs average 17.8 °C, lows 4.4 °C, and rain falls on 4 days — nothing in the month is working against you.

February ranks 5 of 12 in Las Vegas: past the worst of the year but short of April, which is the month to book if the dates are open.

Rain falls on only 4 days, so an itinerary with no wet-weather fallback is a reasonable risk. Pack for 17.8 °C days and 4.4 °C nights; the spread matters more here than any single number.

What the averages hide

Averages flatten a month, and this one hides a few things: 3 nights fall below freezing. Across the twenty years measured, the hottest February day reached 28.1 °C and the coldest night fell to -4.7 °C, and the wettest single day dropped 30 mm — roughly 130% of the month's rain in one day.

This is the volatile part. February rainfall has ranged from 0 mm to 75 mm across the twenty years measured — a 75 mm spread around an average of 23 mm. The average is real but almost no individual February looks like it, so treat the figure as the middle of a wide range rather than a forecast.

Wind is light at 8.9 km/h, so the temperature on the page is close to the temperature on your skin, and humidity is unremarkable at 43%.

How February sits in the year

The month is on the way up: 2.3 °C warmer than January, and March adds another 4.8 °C. Late in the month feels noticeably different from the start of it, which is worth knowing if the trip is short.

Daylight in February

10.9 hours of daylight, gaining 1 hours across the month. That is between Las Vegas's extremes of 14.6 and 9.7 hours, so days are long enough not to constrain the plan.

An inland climate

With no coast nearby, the year swings a fair way — 38.7 °C between the warmest afternoons and the coldest nights, wider than any coastal city at this latitude would manage.

How busy it gets

Busy. Popular without being frantic; book the things you care about, improvise the rest.

Crowd levels are estimated from climate desirability and school-holiday calendars, not from visitor numbers.

February in Las Vegas versus nearby

If Las Vegas is one option among several, the nearby comparison is worth making. Riverside is close enough to be a coin toss — 3 °C warmer, 2 days more rain. Sedona is the weaker option in February — 4.2 °C cooler, 2 days more rain.

So: February works, with April the better month by 12 points if the dates can move. If they cannot, nothing here should stop you booking.
