Golden hour in Las Vegas in February

Las Vegas lies at 36.17° N, in the mid-latitudes, where the seasons reshape the light noticeably. Its longest measured day falls on Thu 18 June 2026 with 14h 37m of daylight, and its shortest on Fri 18 December 2026 with 9h 42m — a difference of 4h 55m between the two extremes.

Evening golden hour in Las Vegas runs for roughly 38 minutes at the height of summer, 34 minutes around the March equinox and 40 minutes at midwinter. The warm window is actually widest in the colder months, which makes winter evenings unusually forgiving here.

The sun sets toward 300° WNW in late June and toward 241° WSW in late December, a shift of about 59° in where the last light lands — worth checking before committing to a west-facing viewpoint. In Las Vegas, the sky reaches full darkness between evening and morning twilight year-round.
