That's Hot.

Good thing we're not in Vegas now, not that we were outside for more than a few minutes at a time:

A heat wave sizzling across the West showed little sign of letting up Thursday, with Las Vegas forecast to tie a record high and even northern Idaho expected to top 100 degrees.

Tourists sip large drinks to keep cool in Las Vegas on Tuesday.

"You can become dehydrated really quick before you know it," said Charlie Schlott, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Las Vegas, Nevada.
In Las Vegas, the temperature reached 100 by 9 a.m., well on its way to the forecast record high for the day of 116, according to the National Weather Service. The mercury last reached 116 on the date in 1985.

116!?

Think about how much more we'd have spent on beer than we already did if we had to drink it to stay cool.

Yep. Probably would have had to buy some more of those $10 beers.
