It is amazing just how hot it is in Las Vegas. It gets hot in Utah too. I guess because of the grass and the water that you see there, that you think that it is an Oasis, but it is really just a part of the desert, and man it gets hot. 115-120 in the middle of the summer is nothing for this place, and the asphalt, concrete, steel, and people just add to the heat. A record was set on the first full day that we were there of 114. After dark it is still way hot and way miserable for people. I don’t know how people can stand living there, but then people stand to live in Utah, and that is part of the desert too. The big difference I guess is the fact that Utah is 2500 feet higher than Las Vegas, and 400 miles further north.
