Looks as if it'll be about 5 degrees hotter in Laughlin this weekend (113 degrees) than Las Vegas (a mere 108).
Is it usually hotter there? No help from the river?!

The river does nothing. You are on the outskirts of the Mojave Desert. The good thing is there really isn't anything to walk to.
The difference between fiction and reality is that fiction is supposed to make sense.

As far as I know, it takes a very large body of water to affect local temperature. Like an ocean or a huge lake, such as Lake Michigan.
In Laughlin’s case being by the river should make it hotter than Vegas since the river is only at about 500 feet, and Vegas is at 2000 feet. Temps generally rise 4 degrees for every 1000 feet you descend.

It’s all about making that GTA

Laughlin is always hotter than Las vegas. It is also farther south. Searchlight is between Las Vegas and Laughlin and yet it is always the coolest place of the three.

That is because Searchlight is at a much higher elevation.

Some of the hottest temperatures recorded in the USA have been in Bullhead, on the Arizona side of the river.
Coming from the east, it took some getting used to the differences elevation makes.
Bisbee, as an example, is 90 miles south of Tucson, but is over a mile high and is about twenty degrees cooler. Although it is smack on the Mexican border, it is much cooler than the cities to the north.

I seem to recall a story from a few years back that the weather in Phoenix is being altered due to the expanding population's terraforming. Evidently the humidity is increasing from all the man-made lakes, swimming pools, grass lawns, golf courses etc.
Interesting if true.

If you are in the market for Meth, Bullhead City is a good spot but better quality and lower prices can be found in Kingman, Az.
