Golden hour is not the same length all year in Las Vegas. It is longest in December at about 40 minutes and shortest in March at about 34 minutes — a difference of 6 minutes of usable warm light per evening.
Las Vegas gets 4h 54m more daylight on the longest day than the shortest. Sunset moves from 4:27 PM in December to 7:59 PM in June, so an evening shoot that works in summer will be shooting in the dark at the same clock time in winter.
Blue hour follows sunset and is worth planning for separately: in June it runs until about 8:29 PM, and in December until about 4:55 PM.
Golden hour is the period near sunrise and sunset when the sun is low. Blue hour occurs before sunrise and after sunset. Calculated times vary with location and date; weather, terrain and buildings can affect visible light.
