I just returned from Las Vegas and this time of year the heat is brutal! It doesn't even help much to keep moving as the air is hotter than you are. I managed some spectacular rides to Red Rock Canyon and the north shore of Lake Mead in the morning and evening when it was a few degrees cooler (and both places have some elevation which also helps), but the slog through city traffic to get there or back wasn't pleasant.
I'm hoping to go back later in the year when it's cooler. Next time, I'll stay longer and buy a bike while I'm there (this time, I rented a ZX-6R for just 2 days; it was good fun but too expensive to consider for a longer trip).
