It has always baffled me as to why this region slows in the winter months.  With all the amazing scenery, beautiful temperatures, and low travel rates you would think the winter time would be a little bit busier. Yes, traditionally the summers are for vacations and travelling for families as the children are on summer break and the guarantee of warm, sunny weather is part of the allure.  But what I think many miss out on is the wonders of the winters her e in Las Vegas and the Grand Canyon.

Sure, we run a higher risk of stormy weather in the winter, but sometimes that makes for some of natures greatest moments in the Canyon region.  Come to think of it, how many people can honestly say they have seen the beauty of the Grand Canyon with snow topping the mesas, or to visit Vegas and be outside in the middle of the day without 110 degree plus temps?   This all makes the winter here so exciting!  Let us not forget to mention that there are far less people visiting any of these places which can make for a pleasant, quiet, and more personal experience anywhere you may go.

With all of this amazing scenery around I just don’t understand why more people don’t visit this time of year.  It is not only peaceful and beautiful; it is also affordable with tour and hotel prices at the lowest points of the year.  I recently heard of strip rooms going in the range of $50 a night!!  There are also awesome deals for shows and activities all over Vegas including combo deals that include Grand Canyon tours.  I have been trying to get my friends from the Northeast to visit and leave the blizzards for a while.  This is the time to be here in Las Vegas!
