Many of you have been to Las Vegas or at least heard many stories that come out of Sin City, even though one of their more famous slogans is "What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas" (unless you are OJ Simpson,) but you don't usually hear about the day to day stuff that normal residents of the city have to deal with. One of the more pressing matters in a city surrounded by harsh, unforgiving desert is the weather. Now in case you weren't aware, Las Vegas is hot. It is located adjacent to the current world record holder for hottest low temperature, hottest average temperature over 24 hours, and hottest atmospheric temperature ever recorded on earth. I have a couple of friends who maintain permanent residency in Vegas and they are much better people than I to be able to deal with the excruciating heat that is in season nine months out of the year.
