Las Vegas: Did They Actually Turn Up the Heat, or Was it Just Like Standing on the Sun?
Hey there, weather warriors and parched peeps! Did you hear about Las Vegas today? Because apparently, someone dialed up the thermostat in Sin City and forgot to turn it back down. That's right, folks, it was a scorcher in that desert oasis, hotter than a one-armed bandit spitting out hundred-dollar bills (although, that would be pretty darn hot).

So How Hot Did it Get?
We're talking oven-mittens-required, "watermelon-seeds-popping-on-the-sidewalk" kind of hot. The forecast high for Las Vegas today was a sizzling 109 degrees Fahrenheit (that's 42.8 degrees Celsius for our international friends). Imagine this: frying an egg on the sidewalk? Check. Needing oven mitts to pump gas? Absolutely. Las Vegas residents were basically living in a giant hairdryer set to "high."
But hey, at least the skies were clear! You know, the kind of clear where you squint so hard you practically see future poker hands.

Las Vegas Heat Survival Guide: MacGyver Edition
Look, if you ever find yourself in Vegas during a heatwave like this, here are some survival tips, MacGyver style:
- FashionFauxPasAlert: Ditch the fancy suits and cocktail dresses. Think more along the lines of bedazzled bedsheets and a wide-brimmed hat that doubles as a pool float.
- Hydration Hero: Water is your new best friend. Carry a gallon jug with you everywhere and don't be shy about refilling it constantly. Those fancy cocktails can wait (although, a poolside margarita might be tempting...).
- Air Conditioning Oasis: Casinos are your friend. They're basically giant air-conditioned caves filled with blinking lights and questionable life choices. Find a slot machine, pretend you're winning big (don't spend all your vacation money!), and enjoy the cool air.
Remember: Vegas may be known for taking your money, but don't let the heat take you down too!
QuickTip: Stop to think as you go.
