Has Vegas Winter Left You Freezing?

While most tend to think of pool parties and bikinis when it comes to daytime in Las Vegas, the truth is that Vegas temperatures are no treat in the winter. Especially with the unusually cold weather in the west and the flu hitting the United States this winter, it’s best to find some things to do in the Las Vegas winter that won’t put you out in the cold.

While everyone always hypes up the Vegas nightlife, there’s no reason why a Las Vegas vacation shouldn’t be a blast 24 hours per day. Here are some fun daytime things to do in Las Vegas this winter.

Bellagio Botanical Conservatory

For an escape from the chilly Las Vegas weather, visit the Conservatory & Botanical Gardens at the Bellagio. In the nippy Vegas winter months, you’ll truly be able to appreciate the beautiful arrangement of flowers, plants, architecture and design, without catching a chill. Go enjoy the live music performances from the Victorian Gazebo from 5PM to 6PM in the South Garden and the 2013 Chinese New Year exhibit on display until March 2, 2012. The conservatory is open 24 hours, but is usually best during off hours as it can get pretty busy.
