I’ve seen 115°F in Las Vegas (though some folks said it was really 117°F) on the big clock towards the top of the strip in August.
At midnight the same clock said 100°F.
Didn’t bother me at all though, I love it. And within a week or two it was back to leather jackets at night (and in the cold casinos).
Pop Quiz for AGW cultists: What CO2 ppm would we need to make it 100°F all the time?
Blade:
I spent 54 years living in Las Vegas and visited Laughlin when the official temperature was over 120. While growing up it was not uncommon to be walking around the desert during the Summer months. We slept outside in the back yard as it was cooler than in the house.
The temperature reading on the Sahara Hotel was never right and 115 was an occasional event but 105 was common and we counted the days over 105 because that seemed the comfort point.
Thanks for that! Haven’t been back for a while (flying completely sucks now) but used to go a few times a year.
54 years? Wow. You were there for Sinatra and before Elvis and Howard Hughes. Not to mention a radical change of like a million people added and a hundred casinos and miles of pavement. That would be some serious UHI (Urban Heat Island) effect where especially at night the heat would be retained (potentially skewing the recorded temperatures with a positive bias).
Yeah, that clock was either at the Sahara or across the street up further near the casino that later became the Stratosphere. It was between 1991 and 1993. I remember being told it was really 117°F but it felt like what 90°F was on the East coast. It did stay hot at night and I would (pardon the pun) bet that much of it was due to the endless pavement and buildings everywhere. When I went down to Stateline the next night it was much cooler.
You don’t have to answer, but what made you leave after such a long time? I’m guessing the economic collapse or over-population or crime rate.
