Vegas nights the air was also hot in summer. It rained on several afternoons here last year which was nice.
I agree with your comparison to Vegas. I lived in Vegas for 5 years, and did my lifestyles visits here last July and August, but this will be my first full summer here. I remember going to a casino in Vegas in the middle of summer, where it would almost be “too cool” inside with the AC on over-drive, then walking outside at midnight, and still have that hot air blast you like a furnace. I learned to deal with Vegas heat (movies, shopping and casinos during the summer afternoons), but overall, I’ll take Florida summers anytime over Vegas and Arizona.
