Las Vegas gets a bad rap for the heat and the water situation but let me set the record straight. Yes, it is hot here, but it is a dry heat with low humidity and most locals will tell you they would take it over a muggy summer any day. And the water? Southern Nevada actually returns nearly all of its indoor water back to Lake Mead through a recycling system that earns return-flow credits, making Vegas one of the most water-efficient cities in the entire West. The facts might just surprise you.
