08Editor's notes

What the numbers don't tell you

April is one of the best months, with afternoons around 26 °C, pools fully open and nights pleasant around 13 °C. The NAB broadcasting show fills hotels for a week mid-month, and Easter weekend is busy. Desert wildflowers at Red Rock peak in early April after a wet winter, and the Grand Canyon's South Rim is comfortable before the summer heat. Rain is rare, about two days.

Pool clubs run daily from April, with the big dayclubs charging entry at weekends. Rates sit between the March peak and the summer lows, with midweek deals outside NAB. Daylight runs past seven in the evening. The Pinball Hall of Fame and the Neon Museum are the standard non-casino afternoon. For the start of the real heat and EDC, see May.
