    It gets extremely hot here during the summer months. Although, the casino's and hotels probably have bottle water for sale, your going to pay a pretty penny for it. We always carry bottle water of our own. We can fill up at drinking fountains and have a steady supply. It is sometimes muggy, so it makes it even hotter. So be prepared.

    Plastics to Avoid

    #3 Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) commonly contains di-2-ehtylhexyl phthalate (DEHP), an endocrine disruptor and probable human carcinogen, as a softener.

    #6 Polystyrene (PS) may leach styrene, a possible endocrine disruptor and human carcinogen, into water and food.

    #7 Polycarbonate contains the hormone disruptor bisphenol-A, which can leach out as bottles age, are heated or exposed to acidic solutions. Unfortunately, #7 is used in most baby bottles and five-gallon water jugs and in many reusable sports bottles.

    Better Plastics

    #1 polyethylene terephthalate (PET or PETE), the most common and easily recycled plastic for bottled water and soft drinks, has also been considered the most safe. However, one 2003 Italian study found that the amount of DEHP in bottled spring water increased after 9 months of storage in a PET bottle.

    #2 High Density Polyethylene

    #4 Low Density Polyethylene

    #5 Polypropylene

    Best Reusable Bottles: Betras USA Sports Bottles, Brita Fill & Go Water Filtration Bottle, Arrow Canteen

    Better Baby Bottles: Choose tempered glass or opaque plastic made of polypropylene (#5) or polyethylene (#1), which do not contain bisphenol-A.

    The summertime heat. And Summer here is usually mid May to Mid October. The heat is vicous, especially if you're not used to this extreme. Always carry water with you if you can, and drink it. If you wait till you're thirsty, you are already starting to dehydrate. Also, a headache is one of the first signs of dehydration. Drink lots of water.

  • I hadn't planned on leaving the airport on my layover so I didn't pay any attention to the weather before I left. When the pilot announced it was going to be 100, I laughed and thought well, at least I'm not going out in that. Then I changed my mind and went out in it anyways and the sun and heat is brutal at midday, good thing that you're only outside for a short period of time between casinos and resorts.

    If you come here during the summer, a hotel pool is a must, especially if you have kids. i saw several resorts with them as I took the monorail up and down the strip and they were packed with families trying to escape the heat.

    It can get so hot in Vegas, and it usually does. Thank God for air conditioning. Loud pesky jets are always flying nearby as well.

  • The weather in Las Vegas is usually pretty hot, mid 80s to 100+ Farenheit. So the hotels and casinos are all equipped with air conditioners and they usually crank them up pretty high. It's great to wear shorts and t-shirts while outside, but it can get pretty chilly when you're inside.

  • It can be very very very hot in summer. Coming from the tropics, I have never experienced anything like this. I guess it's a conspiracy to bind you to the hotels and the casinos.

    Vegas is Hot. Very hot! It is almost unbarable during the summer times. Especially if you're not from there. Dress in all white clothes and cover your head with an umbrella or some kind of cap. It might look like a paradise from looking out of an air conditioned room or car. Keep in mind though, that Vegas is in the middle of a Nevada desert!

  • It gets up to 119 degress in Las Vegas and it is nothing but dry heat. So if you do not drink water and wear sunblock you will burn in five minutes and die of dehydration in twenty. I am NOT joking.

  • If you drink alcoholic beverages (free in most casinos) there is a good chance you will dehydrate. Drink a lot of water and stay to the shade if at all possible.
