So, here are the two jewels of the desert in the US, some distinct overlap, but also vast differences. Phoenix is rainier with more thunderstorms, but less seasonal than Las Vegas is, resulting in annual frosts in the latter.
My vote is for Vegas, since shoulder seasons are rather comfortable and dew points lower in summer. The weaker sun angle should also be of a bit of help during those scorchingly hot summers.

Las Vegas; far better winter temps, albeit not such an easy win due to Phoenix's superior storm activity.

"Absolutely Wonderful" lol Have you ever spent even a couple days in anywhere close to as hot as Phoenix? I have been to Tunisia close to the Algerian border. It was 45 degrees every day and it felt tremendous. I would have loved to live in Phoenix. It's both western with all technological facilities you would expect in a western European country and at the same time it has a similar climate to northern Sahara. No more gloves or jackets. Please teleport me to Phoenix. |

Vegas by far. Colder winters, actually can get some snow, more comfortable shoulder seasons.
And someone please fix that Phoenix climate box. Phoenix does not AVERAGE a trace of snow.

lol@ Phoenix averaging a trace of snow in three consecutive months. I'd say it means it has happened, but not enough to reach 0.05 inches on average. That means that the 1/4 inch it got every 10, 20, 30 years whatever counts as trace. |

"Phoenix is rainier with more thunderstorms"
No brainer. The A+ summer temps are merely a bonus.

Vegas for cooler weather. The extra rain in Phoenix isn't worth the hotter weather.

Las Vegas for the cooler temperatures. Both are too dry so won't even factor in precipitation. I would have to go to Seattle in the winter for some rain if I lived in either city.

I would have to go to Seattle in the winter for some rain if I lived in either city. could tell you all about Redding, California Seattle gets drizzle with an atmospheric river bringing heavy rain here and there. Redding gets mostly heavy rain spread out over fewer precipitation days. Both places have the same annual totals and that's what there is to it. Also because of El Niño codswallop, Redding has been far wetter than any part of the lowland PNW last winter. |
