July has UFC, NBA Summer League and WSOP, but Las Vegas heat is the main story.

July is event-rich but punishing. UFC International Fight Week, NBA Summer League, WSOP and Fourth of July give it major reasons to visit, but the heat is brutal and outdoor plans require caution. It is for indoor events, pools and nightlife, not comfortable walking.
