Well hello and welcome.
I too am from Las Vegas, lived there for about 25 years before I left. I have lived in Colorado for about 20 years and (I can't beleive I am going to say this) I MISS THE HEAT! I use to go home once a year just to thaw out and injoy some warmth.
I can also remember when Flamingo street was only 2 lanes and had dirt onboth sides.
