Peter Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 One of the readers of your article mentioned that they hope the area stays safe! I remember there was a rash of snatch and grab in Atlantic City for a while attributed to visitors who were poor because of a gambling addiction but I have not seen what it is like lately. When I visited Vegas about 8 years ago, I don't remember much crime. We stayed at a good hotel and went to my daughters wedding at the Bellagio. I remember a luncheon for about ten set me back $1500 which was excruciating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A different world it is... just a short drive to Red Rock Canyon...mostly high end residential/retail... The new development is in the backyard of the first class Red Rock Resort/ Casino...home of a really good all you can eat buffet for about 1/10 of what you paid, and less for lunch & breakfast. I'm a regular...I live in the area.https://redrock.sclv.com/Summerlin has an interesting history. Howard Hughes set the ball in motion. Probably one of the few in the country that could have, at that time, afford to purchase such a large amount of prime real estate:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Summerlin,_Nevada-Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Didn't Sinatra say, I thought there was only Reno and Vegas in Nevada and the rest was desert?I actually went and bought a small humidifier at a drug store when I was there and ran it all the time. And there was a brush fire in the ?San Bernadino Mountains that was turning the air smoky. The average temperature was 107 during the day. I like the underground tunnel system between the buildings which reminded me of cold Minnesota with its connections to other buildings. One shopping center was an entire sky scraper with a tube connecting the building across the street several stories up.Perhaps hot and dry is something one could get used to.

Backlighting Posted October 10, 2014 Author Share Posted October 10, 2014 NYC has a daily average humidity at 63%L.V. has a daily average of 30%It's easy to get used to, and indeed welcome, 100+ degrees during the hottest time of the yr., when humidity is at 8-15%. No sweating, no mosquitos.I've been in NYC (metropolitan area) during the hottest time, say 90 degrees and 75% humidity. Very uncomfortable for me...in fact it suks.http://www.currentresults.com/Weather/US/humidity-city-annual.phpI'll take desert climate, overall, any day.I had the misfortune of visiting Orlando in the summer...Now even NYC would have been a welcomed alternative to that. Now Manila in the summer...ouch...100% not uncommon with temps in the 90's +https://weatherspark.com/averages/33313/Metro-Manila-Philippines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
