Looks like Vegas might be a little cold in late March for the me and the Mrs we normally go in September - Any thoughts? Thinking of Late March (26th) to early April

We've been twice in March and it was in the 80's most days, we really like Vegas at that time of year.

Got a free paper in the room today, Vegas is the crime, suicide, divorce, foreclosure capital of the USA. In the real estate pages were houses like 4 bed 2.5 bath 2 garage was $265,000 now $130,000. Vegas airport is cutting the number limo companies operating there due to falling visitor numbers.

Average highs in the mid-20s sounds perfect to us...but a lot 'colder' than the upper 30s you're used to. You should miss most of the spring-breakers that late in March...you would be there during the NCAA basketball final four, but crowds that late into the tournament are less than in the early stages (someone told me once - less teams left, less fans going to Vegas to bet on their team and party).

End of March is a gamble. Average high temperature is low 70's. You might get lucky, you might not. Compare those temps with what you will have likely experienced in Sep where the average high temp is in the mid 90's.
