Las Vegas is located in the high Mohave Desert. Deserts are renown for their extreme daily temperatures and Las Vegas is no exception to that rule. Summer temperatures soar over 110F / 43C in the day to 68F / 20C in the evenings. Winter temperatures 60F / 16C in the day to 34F / 1C in the evenings. Humidity is low, producing what people call "a dry heat". Less than 4 inches of rain fall annually in Las Vegas which makes this a perfect spot for sightseeing and picture taking.

The four seasons are actually well defined in Las Vegas, although they differ from the traditional view of seasonal variation. Summers display classic desert southwest characteristics.

A - Tunica currently has 9 Casinos. The casinos are not all along a strip such as Vegas. They are clustered. Sam's Town is across the street from Hollywood and Harrah's, to some it is walking distance, but to others they prefer to drive or take the shuttle. Just a matter of preference. Here is a pic taken from Sam's East Tower (was Isle of Capri Hotel) Fitzgerald's stands alone. Bally's stands alone, but is close to Casino Center.

No. It is, however, just as exciting. Casinos in Great Britain are generally not as big as those in Las Vegas, which makes our casinos cosier than our American counterparts.

This term is often used to compare games with one another. It refers to a game that is typical of Downtown Las Vegas - double down allowed on any initial two cards, dealer hits soft-17, resplits and insurance allowed. Las Vegas "Strip" rules improve the player's odds slightly requiring the dealer to stand on all 17s. [Issue 4.3]

Las Vegas, Nevada is home to thousands of weddings each year, but many years ago we were also renown for the quickie divorce. Laws have changed a bit and you must now be a Clark County resident for at least 6 weeks prior to filing for a divorce. Wait another 6 weeks after filing and the divorce will become final barring any complications. The process is far simpler and cheaper when both spouses agree and there are no children involved.

If your plastic surgeon comes to Las Vegas to perform surgery and does not permanently reside in Las Vegas you may find yourself in a bit trouble should you try to see him when he is out of the state.

Dr. Cambeiro was born and raised and permanently resides in the Las Vegas/Henderson area.

John Deiner: Hey, Balt. I'd have to give the Venetian the nod on that one. The rooms (all suites with step-down living rooms) are huge and lavish, and the rest of the hotel is filled with restaurants and diversions to fit just about any budget. Plus the clientele is far less snooty than that of the Bellagio, which has a real attitude about it.

The Las Vegas oasis was first noticed in 1829 by Spanish explorers. They named this valley "Las Vegas" which means "the meadows." Mormon settlers arrived shortly thereafter and made this area home.
