Although Las Vegas is a popular year-round destination, the Fall sees the humidity of the summer ease off, offering a more comfortable climate in which to enjoy the dazzling lights and attractions of the city.
As well as the usual casinos and the star-studded shows, there is much more on offer this Fall.
The Beatles’ ‘Love’ Cirque du Soleil is unique to Las Vegas and makes for a fantastic circus experience, whilst the famous mortician Gunther von Hagens, brings his ‘Bodyworlds’ exhibition to the city this fall - a controversial, yet fascinating display of human-specimens, preserved to give an unbelievable insight into the human body.
Like New York, Las Vegas is a major city which provides a gateway to some incredible settings in which to enjoy the fall foliage. Out in Nevada you are greeted with high mountains, aspen trees, poplars and cottonwoods beaming in shades of beautiful golds and yellows.
The route to Spring Mountains is closest to the city, with the colours of the aspen trees changing from the third week of September. As you drive towards the mountains along Highway 57 you will encounter the formidable falls of Kyle Canyon, where an inimitable display of gold and yellow foliage include themselves into the incredible views of the surrounding Nevada State once you reach Spring’s summit.
Another popular route is that along U.S 93 towards the Great Basin National Park, which encompasses the Wheeler Park Scenic Road. This route offers constant golden foliage and includes a stop at the amazing underground growths of the Lehman Caves.
If travelling to Nevada solely to enjoy the foliage season, the 430 mile drive from Las Vegas to ‘Nevada’s Alps’, the Ruby Mountains is truly awesome. The fall scenery at the Lamoille Canyon is breathtaking before you head through the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest and up to Ruby Mountains, where you can enjoy unrivalled panoramas of Nevada in its most picturesque form.

En-route to the summit you will encounter the Champlain Mountain Overlook which gazes over the beautiful foliage of the Gouldsboro Hills. Take in Frenchman Bay before you reach the tip of the Schoodic Peninsula and stop at the peaceful Thrumcap Island where gulls idly scavenge the waters looking for fish. Further along the beach, Thunder Hole is a dramatic coastal setting where huge waves crash into the rocks in thunderous fashion. From Thunder Hole you will pass by the pink granite Otter Cliffs before heading through the wonderful array of colours donned by the spruce fir forest as you leave Otter Point. 
After typically sweltering summers, New Yorkers welcome the autumn with open arms. The humidity gives way to colour-drenched parks, crisp fresh air and also brings in a number of annual activities, which keep the allure of visiting ‘The Big Apple’ as strong as ever. In autumn New York celebrates Fashion Week in Bryant Park, the New York Marathon, the Italian Feast of Gennaro, the return of the American Football season, the New York Film Festival and the New York Comedy Festival; all taking place in September and October.
