The heat here in Vegas is absolutely brutal. This desert heat is way way more brutal the FL swamp heat. I'd play golf in the summer in FL. No way would I play in Vegas in the summer.
Just 7 more weeks and I'm out of here
Can't wait

I'm pretty much in the opposite camp - I retire in about six months, assuming they don't come up with a flimsy excuse to keep me from leaving my job, and Vegas is on my list of places to move to, as I am not sure if I will be able to afford to stay where I am (San Francisco bay area) on my pension; in fact, one of the things I plan on doing on my Vegas trip in about six weeks is to scope out potential areas. (For those of you who are familiar with the area, what's Centennial Hills like?)

But if you are moving away from Vegas, where are you headed?

I moved from Vegas to Florida after 30 years in Vegas. Centennial Hills is Northwest Las Vegas as you head out to Lee Canyon. It tends to be an affordable area but you are a fair distance from downtown Vegas. I lived in what is called Green Valley which was one of the first master planned areas. A great area that is now very mature but still close to everything.

To me that's like moving from the crotch to the armpit and calling it an improvement. I would not live in either one of those places if it was free. Every time I visit either one I constantly say to myself, and people live here on purpose. They actually move here on purpose. I never get it. Right now where I live it's absolutely glorious outside, 72° and no humidity. Sunny and green and glorious. Yeah we have winter but the sun goes down at 5:00 p.m. So who cares. I lived in California for 7 years and felt just as restricted in the winter as I did in Michigan.

If I were to live in Vegas it would probably be in Summerlin, which is about five degrees cooler (not saying much when it's 110) than the main part of Vegas. Centennial Hills would also be a good option, if you didn't need or want to be near a resort casino.

The temp forecast for Vegas
By the way we made it up to 113 today
I went for a short scooter ride
Real short
The breeze feels like a hot air fryer. The air blowing on my body actually feels like I'm being air fried alive
Just so oppressive
Just a few steps and you feel like you are dying

July 4 – 112
July 5 – 112
July 6 – 115
July 7 – 117
July 8 – 118 (possible record-setting day)
July 9 – 117
July 10 – 116

No relief at night. Take tonight. An hour after the sun goes down, 105 temp. Sheesh

Last year was just as bad. I have a very strong memory of walking out of Ellis Island and into their parking garage, stunned be the sheer level of heat. Then I realized that I was getting cooked by the floor slab, columns, walls, and slab above, as they all radiated away the heat they had absorbed during the day. It was far over 100 (temp that day was 118), and it was 1AM !!

Summers are just flat out miserable in Vegas. Doesn''t matter if you have a pool, either. You'd be sitting in a bathtub of warm water, breathing in hot air in a parching breeze. Yes, evaporation theoretically cools you, but not when the air temp is 100.

I have a buddy that lives in Henderson, near Sunset Station Casino. I helped him move in there. Let me tell you--it's very important that you check out the local casinos before you settle for a place. Green Valley Ranch Station was supposedly newer and 'richer', but was so laden with smokers that it was intolerable. The locals in GVR were about 15 years older than my buddy, and thus had a lot more folks who were smokers. So, even though the casinos were only a few miles apart, the experience from each were greatly different.

Would encourage those who enjoy the outdoors, are physically able and spend time in LV this time of year to get out into the Spring Mountains/Mount Charleston. Much cooler. If I ever lived there again think I’d choose Centennial Hills so you can get out there quicker.

The hottest day ever in Vegas is 117 reached a few times. Yet many people report higher temperatures when they visited.

I have no doubt there are hotter places in Vegas
There are places where the heat and sun are able to concentrate in a small area. Just got to find the right spot to fry an egg. Can't be done anywhere but there are spots that will fry one outside
The record is simply the temp reading in a consistent spot to get an overall picture

Newer car steering wheels, don't feel like you're putting your hands on a stove burner. Bare metal ones were common at one time if you didn't put your own cover over it.

Death Valley set to experience potentially the hottest week recorded anywhere on Earth
Fourth of July week will see ‘record-breaking and dangerous heat’, beginning on Independence Day itself, when temperatures predicted to hit 125F

Bottom line
It's too Damm hot

Where I live in Florida I would guess the cold water tap is over 100 degrees in the summer. The dogs are not happy when I fill their water bowl.

I think the water is hotter then 115. It's coming in through a hose sitting on hot black pavement.

Shows have cost me from about 150 to 300
Usually in the 200 range
I've seen all 24 Dead and Co shows at the Sphere
6 more to go
They are taking a 2 week break
Next show starts Aug 1
I'm treating my nephew to the next 3 shows

And that water coming out of the hose isn’t even a dry heat, don’t want to mess with that.

Yea I have water but it's always hot
I have endure a shower water temperature that's higher then comfortable.

Just 1 more month and I'm out of here. Already have reservations in Utah through Colorado
Just waiting the the Dead and Co residency at the Sphere is over
6 more shows and I'm out of here
link to original post


oh wow.. 115F cold water?
yike, that's hotter than the temps in a hot tub. :o

How much are the shows?
How many of them have you seen?
link to original post


I think the water is hotter then 115. It's coming in through a hose sitting on hot black pavement.

Shows have cost me from about 150 to 300
Usually in the 200 range
I've seen all 24 Dead and Co shows at the Sphere
6 more to go
They are taking a 2 week break
Next show starts Aug 1
I'm treating my nephew to the next 3 shows

Have you considered leaving LV until the shows resume? It would be about 2-2.5 times your typical weekly drive, but the coast would be quite a bit cooler… Nowhere near as cheap tho!

And that water coming out of the hose isn’t even a dry heat, don’t want to mess with that.

No fatigue

Wow, that's surprising. Do you know where your water comes from? I believe most potable water in FL comes from groundwater. Where I grew up in south FL (east coast), we had a shallow well, but our "cold" water never got to those temps. In fact, water from the well was usually noticeably colder than the air temps in summer.

We are on city water but the reason it is so warm is just sitting in the pipes during the hottest part of the day. If I let the water run for 10 minutes or so the temperature drops to warm.

I love it when people live in hot climates on purpose and then complain about it all the time. I never complain about living in Michigan because I never have any complaints.

You should probably have your eyes checked. i didn't complain about hot water, it actually saves me money on my showers.

Delightfully pleasant here in the middle of Wisconsin, right around 70°F with mild humidity.

I only complain about the mosquitoes when they're on the wrong side of the door and they think it's my turn to feed them.

It's very strange it is July 20th and I have not been bitten by one mosquito yet this year. Haven't seen any and I live in the country surrounded by water. Maybe I'm not outside at the right time.

I can only imagine that when you go outside around dusk, the mosquitoes were out two hours earlier.

He said he sets his clocks ahead didn't he? So when he goes out at dusk the mosquitos don't come out until an hour later.

The Heat Dome just broke here in Eastern MA. It was consistently high 80s and low 90s for almost 2 weeks, and we were miserable. I still don't know how and why people would live in parts of the country where it reaches triple digits and near triple digits for months on end.

I agree
It might as well be a monsoon outside.
Just don't want to be outside.
Can't wait to leave the desert once Dead and Co residency over.
On the flip side. This residency may be a yearly summer event at the Sphere. Looks like I may be back next summer lol

You learn to adjust. These days, I'm riding by 6 a.m. and finished swimming by 8:30 a.m. I can drive to the mountains in forty minutes and it is a good twenty degrees cooler. Last week, we had a cool wave where it got under 95 for several days. The best thing is you never have to shovel heat.

I agree, you just learn to do outdoor activities in the morning before it gets too hot. I was rarely outside between 11am and 10pm. Just stay inside and enjoy the air conditioning.
