    I was there end of last August and loved the heat. Bit stuffy at night but nothing I couldn't handle!

    Thanks, great prices! I don't mind travelling cattle class!

    Mid to end of June is the hottest I've experienced. That was more than enough for me.

    we go beginning of June , and last year, we had that heatwave weekend where it hit 117f...
    The walk from the sunbed to the pool in the Cosmo melted my flipflops almost!

    We always go in August as OH is a teacher. Luckily we both love the heat. :)

    Last trip we walked from the Stratosphere to the Wynn in 120 degrees. We didn't go any faster than a slow amble but by the time we got to the Wynn my heart was racing like mad, just from the heat.

    I agree. Last year was rather tough on both myself and DH towards the end of the second week.
    At one point I ended up sat in PH near the toilets for about 30 minutes because I'd had too much sun, and we'd only walked from Aria across the bridge, along past those shops and into PH.
    I don't what what it is about that section of the Strip, but it seems to be one heck of a sun catcher. I have never felt so ill in the heat walking that particular section.

    We booked a whole whack of Groupons last week in Vegas and San Francisco, used an old pre-paid post office currency card to do it and it all went through fine even though I registered last week and added my card to the account when purchasing the first one.

    Trying to compare hotels to others and cannot find Tropicana Hotel on oyster.com

    Came across this hotel from https://www.justyou.co.uk/en-gb/tours/americas-western-wonders/#Accommodation

    Just browsing around ideas at the moment.

    Was this named something else?

    While here, any decent sites for weather check on temperature? I don't like Summer hot over here so finding Vegas cold months may be a challenge.

    Thank you

    Not sure what your question is.

    the Trop has been there for years and has seen some bad times but they did refurb a couple of years ago.

    It wouldnt be my first choice or even on my list to be honest.

    I have stayed at about 20 different hotels in Vegas as have many others on here so if its reviews of anything specific you may find the awnser from someone here.

    there are many vegas weather charts on the web , what temps are you comfortable with
