Extreme Heat Threatens Las Vegas Gambling Business

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, reports that Las Vegas is under a National Weather Service extreme heat warning as temperatures soar above 100°F for consecutive days. McIntyre highlights that the health warning especially affects vulnerable populations, and also points to the economic impact: fewer tourists, and reduced movement even among those who do visit. Research confirms that high heat discourages travel, threatening Las Vegas’s appeal as a summer destination.
