situated right in the middle of the Nevada desert but you will certainly
enjoy hot, sunny weather. Daytime temperatures in April are 25ºC to
28ºC and coupled with 13 hours of daily sunshine and very little
rainfall year round. Las Vegas will definitely satisfy your thirst for
sun!

Vegas will also keep you entertained, whilst famous for its
salubrious Casino’s (allowing for very cheap hotel room rates) it also
hosts some of the world’s best theatre shows and has some of the best
hotels in the world. Perhaps the most famous hotel on the Las Vegas
‘Strip’ is the Bellagio Hotel and Casino complex. Taking on an Italian
theme this hotel has vast gardens, 3000 rooms and hundreds of gaming
tables and slot machines. The fountains are renowned, performing jets
dance to classical music from 7pm-midnight every day. It’s difficult to
describe the phenomenon that is Las Vegas without seeing it for
yourself!

Portuguese and Brazilian cultural influences with a Caribbean style

Thailand
Thailand is the most popular destination
in the Far East for Brits, attracted by fantastic beech locations,
jungles, temples and Bangkok, a vibrant and bustling city…
The country is scattered with tropical islands such as Kho Samet, Kho
Chang and Kho Samui and also popular resorts such as Pattaya and
Phuket. Each one has its own character, look and feel, whether you want
an all action entertainment fuelled beach break or an escape from the
crowds
April does bring in the more humid weather in Thailand but cooling
sea breezes and still generous amounts of sunshine make a holiday to
Thailand in April a great option. The April climate is perfect too; the
bustling and popular resort of Phuket has temperatures of around 29ºC
and enjoys 8 hours of sunshine. As Thailand is sub-tropical in the heart
of South East Asia it has very high humidity in April so the 157mm of
rain per month is very welcome as evening falls, cooling things down to a
still balmy 25 degrees at night.

generally very high from 5* hotels to the cheapest huts on the beach.
