Las Vegas is extremely hot in August, with temperatures often exceeding 100 degrees Fahrenheit. However, being in the desert it is "dry heat," meaning that even though it's very hot, the air is very low in humidity, making it feel less oppressive than humid heat at similar temperatures. In the desert climate, staying hydrated is crucial. Drink plenty of water throughout the day, even if you don't feel thirsty, and avoid sugary drinks, opting for electrolyte-rich options when necessary. Also, every casino offers free cups of water at the bars and restaurants, and free drinks are provided while gambling. For quick hydration or hangovers, consider using a hydration IV company like Hangover IV or Las Vegas Mobile IV.
The dress code is semi-formal. This means you can go all out and wear a tux/gown or more casual with a suit/cocktail dress. Nothing is off limits in Las Vegas, so have fun with your attire! For the ladies, wear comfortable shoes perfect for a night out on the town.
