March has excellent weather, Mountain West basketball, sportsbook energy and NASCAR, but hotel prices can jump.

March is one of Las Vegas’ strongest months. Weather is excellent for walking, patios, shows and day trips, while Mountain West basketball, sportsbook energy and NASCAR add major sports demand. The tradeoff is price: it is not a hidden value month.
