  • Winter (December-February): Warmest months, most crowded
  • Expect: Premium hotel rates, full courses, crowded restaurants

Shoulder Season (May, September)

Good Weather, Moderate Pricing:

  • May: 90-105°F, warm but manageable
  • September: 95-110°F, still hot but cooling off

Low Season (June-August)

Extreme Desert Heat:
