We've been to both Las Vegas and Arizona. The former, several times but remember the year we went to an event there in August. We had some free time before the event so took in the sites. The guys played golf in the 100+ temps (something I'd not do) while some of the rest of us walked the strip---it WAS brutal and I was much younger. Arizona---went in the winter months but the dry air was wayyyyy too much. If one added the heat with this it wouldn't have been tolerable (MHO). Yes it's hot/humid here, but you can plan accordingly. I don't get why folks want to exercise (walk or run or bike) in the heat of the day---which is late a.m. to late afternoon. Do your activities either in the morning or later in the day. PLUS we are the lightening capital and in the rainy season it happens frequently. They say "hear thunder, take cover"....you rarely see folks doing that.
