Las Vegas is getting hotter. Its felt 117 degree heat three times in the last ten years.

Most of us survive by jumping from home to car to work; then reversing it at the end of the day. All of it air conditioned.

But there has got to be a way to do more during the summermaybe outside; maybe insidebut something more than simply waiting out these three or four months until the temperature gets into the low-90s again.

How do you do it? Do we have to convince ourselves, maybe through hypnosis, that summer isnt that bad? Or are there ways to really enjoy it?

And when we say surviving the summer heat, we arent using those words lightly. In the last two years, more than 300 people have died in the heat of Las Vegas during the summer. People also get severely burned.

Whether youre a native of the desert or new to Southern Nevada, we want to hear from you.
