January is cool and walkable, but CES and conventions can make hotels painfully expensive.

January is useful but spiky. Cool desert weather makes walking the Strip easier than summer, but CES and major convention weeks can crush hotel value. It works best if you are coming for business, shows, dining or low-heat sightseeing and can avoid the biggest convention dates.
