Current Time in Las Vegas

About time in Las Vegas

Las Vegas runs on Pacific Time, the same clock as Los Angeles and the rest of the US West Coast. The city uses Pacific Standard Time (UTC-8) in winter and Pacific Daylight Time (UTC-7) in summer, observing the standard switch dates. Although its casinos and resorts run around the clock, Las Vegas itself follows ordinary Pacific hours, sitting three hours behind New York. Note that neighboring Arizona does not observe daylight saving, so in summer Las Vegas matches Phoenix even though they use different zones.

Las Vegas changes its clocks for daylight saving time, so its exact UTC offset depends on the season (UTC-8 (UTC-7 in summer)). The live clock above reads Las Vegas's local time directly from the IANA time zone database in your browser, using the rules installed on your device.

Daylight in Las Vegas through 2026

Las Vegas sits at about 36.2°N, 115.1°W. The longest day of 2026 is June 16, with 14h 37m between sunrise and sunset. The shortest is December 16, with 9h 42m, a difference of 4 h 55 min. At this mid-latitude, winter evenings are dark early and summer evenings stay light well after a normal working day.

The earliest sunrise of the year comes around June 10 (05:22) and the latest sunset around June 21 (20:01). These are not exactly on the solstice because the sun’s position runs slightly ahead of or behind clock time during the year.

Solar noon, when the sun is highest, falls at about 12:47 local time in late March, 12:42 in late June and 11:38 in late December. In standard time the sun is highest at about 11:41 on average, close to 12:00, so the clock and the sun are well aligned in Las Vegas. During daylight saving time everything moves an hour later on the clock.
