Calling family, scheduling a business meeting or planning a trip? Here is what you need to know about the current time in Las Vegas, its time zone and the time difference with Israel.
Las Vegas’s time zone
Las Vegas is in the Pacific Time Zone (PT). In winter it uses Pacific Standard Time (PST) (UTC-8), and in summer it switches to Pacific Daylight Time (PDT) (UTC-7).
Time difference between Las Vegas and Israel
For most of the year, Israel is 10 hours ahead of Las Vegas. When it is 12:00 noon in Tel Aviv, it is 02:00 in the morning in Las Vegas.
There is one catch: the United States and Israel change their clocks on different dates. The US moves to daylight saving time on the second Sunday in March and back on the first Sunday in November, while Israel changes on the Friday before the last Sunday in March and on the last Sunday in October. During those few weeks in spring and autumn, the difference is 9 hours instead of 10.
Best times to call Las Vegas from Israel
- Late afternoon and evening in Israel (around 16:00 to 23:00) is morning to afternoon in Las Vegas – the best window for business calls.
- Morning in Israel is the middle of the night in Las Vegas, so avoid calling then.
- Remember that the US working week runs Monday to Friday, so Friday afternoon in Israel is still Friday morning there, and Sunday is a day off.
Flying to Las Vegas: jet lag tips
There are no direct flights between Israel and Las Vegas, so most travellers connect via New York, Los Angeles or a European hub – a total journey of well over 15 hours. Flying west is usually easier on the body than flying east. Try to stay awake until a normal local bedtime on the day you arrive, get outside in daylight, and drink plenty of water during the flight.
Visiting Las Vegas?
Beyond the casinos and shows of the Strip, Las Vegas is a great base for road trips to the Grand Canyon, Zion National Park and Death Valley. Because of the 10-hour difference, the best time to call Las Vegas from Israel is usually in the Israeli evening.
