Current Time in Las Vegas, United States

How Las Vegas Keeps Time

Las Vegas keeps PDT, UTC-7. The live clock normally synchronizes to the site time source and then applies the IANA rules for Las Vegas; until synchronization succeeds, it uses the device clock as a fallback. Daylight-saving changes are applied only where that zone actually observes them.

Las Vegas runs on the America/Los_Angeles zone in the IANA time zone database, which is UTC-7 right now. The clocks change twice a year here: UTC-8 on standard time and UTC-7 while daylight saving is in force. The next change is on 1 November 2026, when clocks go back one hour.

The sun rises in Las Vegas at 6:55 am today and sets at 5:53 pm — 10 hours 58 minutes of daylight, with solar noon at 12:24 pm. Those times come from the city’s coordinates (36.17, -115.14), so they shift a little every day of the year.

On the two solstices, Las Vegas has about 14 hours 37 minutes of daylight in June and 9 hours 42 minutes in December. The difference is about 4 hours 56 minutes, which shows how strongly the local daylight cycle changes through the year.

PDT is one of several zones in United States, so a time quoted for the country as a whole is not necessarily the time here. Check the city rather than the country when it matters.
