Prayer Times Las Vegas (Vegas), NV Today

How Prayer Times in Las Vegas Change Through the Year

Prayer times in Las Vegas are set by the sun, so they move every single day. The biggest daily swing is at dawn. The earliest Fajr of 2026 in Las Vegas falls on 09 Jun 2026 at 3:55 AM, while the latest Fajr arrives on 08 Mar 2026 at 5:51 AM. That is a difference of 1 hour 56 minutes across the year, which is why a timetable printed in January cannot be reused in June. The swing is gentler than in the northern states because Las Vegas sits at 36.2 degrees north, where daylight stays steadier through the year.

The evening moves even more than the morning. The earliest Maghrib of the year in Las Vegas is 4:26 PM on 29 Nov 2026; the latest is 8:02 PM on 23 Jun 2026, a shift of 3 hours 36 minutes. On the longest day, 21 Jun 2026, sunset holds until 8:01 PM; on the shortest day, 21 Dec 2026, it comes at 4:30 PM.

For anyone fasting outside Ramadan, such as the Monday and Thursday fasts or the white days each month, the longest fast of 2026 in Las Vegas runs 16 hours 6 minutes on 19 Jun 2026, from Fajr at 3:55 AM to Maghrib at 8:01 PM. The shortest fast is 10 hours 58 minutes on 18 Dec 2026. Solar noon moves too: Dhuhr ranges from 11:24 AM in one part of the year to 12:51 PM in another, following the equation of time. Measured against the other 218 cities and neighbourhoods we track, that longest fast ranks 110 of 218.

How Each Prayer Time Is Calculated in Las Vegas

Prayer times follow the sun, so they shift a little every day. For Las Vegas, this page uses the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) method, the one most US mosques follow: a 15-degree sun angle for Fajr and Isha, the standard shadow rule for Asr, and the Hanafi Asr available in the method selector. Today, 03 Nov 2026, is 23 Jumādá al-ūlá 1448 on the Hijri calendar.

Fajr (4:53 AM today)

True dawn, the first white light spreading sideways along the eastern horizon, opens the Fajr window. In Las Vegas today that moment is 4:53 AM. The window shuts at sunrise (6:05 AM); a Fajr prayed after that is qada, a missed prayer made up later. Because dawn in Las Vegas swings between 3:55 AM and 5:51 AM over the year, a fixed alarm time never works for long.

Dhuhr (11:24 AM today)

Dhuhr starts once the sun has crossed its peak and begun to decline. Solar noon is not the same as 12:00 on the clock, because Las Vegas sits within the America/Los_Angeles zone, away from its central meridian: today Dhuhr in Las Vegas is 11:24 AM. On Fridays the Jummah congregation takes the place of Dhuhr.

Asr (2:21 PM today)

Asr begins when an object's shadow equals its height beyond the noon shadow. That standard rule (Shafi'i, Maliki and Hanbali) gives 2:21 PM in Las Vegas today. The Hanafi rule waits until the shadow is twice the height, which falls roughly 45 to 65 minutes later; use the calculation method selector at the top of this page to view Hanafi Asr. Finish Asr before the sun turns yellow and weak near the horizon.

Maghrib (4:42 PM today)

Maghrib's window opens at sunset, the instant the sun's disc drops fully out of sight: 4:42 PM today in Las Vegas. For someone fasting, this is iftar, and the Sunnah is to break the fast at once, with dates or water, before praying.

Isha (5:54 PM today) and the Last Third of the Night

When the red twilight has gone from the west, Isha begins: 5:54 PM tonight in Las Vegas. The night that follows is measured from Maghrib to Fajr; its last third, after Islamic midnight, is the Tahajjud time. Use the Tahajjud calculator to find tonight's last third in Las Vegas.

Finding the Qibla Direction in Las Vegas (26.43° North-East)

Muslims pray facing the Kaaba in Mecca, and from Las Vegas that means facing 26.43° north-east from true north, measured the short way around the globe. The bearing comes from Las Vegas's position (36.2° N, 115.1° W) set against the Kaaba's (21.4225° N, 39.8262° E). At about 8134 miles (13091 km), it is one of the longer qibla distances in the United States. From Las Vegas, the great-circle line heads across Canada and the North Atlantic before descending toward Arabia.

At home or at work in Las Vegas, the Qibla Compass on your phone reads the bearing directly. Calibrate it with a slow figure-eight motion, and keep it clear of metal furniture and electronics that drag the needle. Inside a mosque, the mihrab already marks the direction.

Daylight Saving Time in Nevada: The Two Jump Days

Las Vegas moves its clocks twice a year, and the prayer timetable jumps with them. Daylight saving begins on 08 Mar 2026: Fajr leaps from 4:52 AM to 5:51 AM in one night, a shift of just under an hour, and Maghrib follows, from 5:41 PM to 6:42 PM. On 01 Nov 2026 the clocks fall back, and Fajr returns from 5:51 AM to 4:52 AM. Mosques in Las Vegas reset their iqamah boards on the same weekends. This page always follows the America/Los_Angeles time in force, so the times you see are already adjusted.
