I've lived in Las Vegas for two years, and I've noticed several misconceptions outsiders have of the city.
Yes, Las Vegas is extremely dry, and technically in the middle of a desert. But one of the best parts about Las Vegas is its proximity to several amazing geographic features and beautiful national parks.
Directly to the west of the Strip, not even 30 minutes away, is the beautiful Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area. Not far beyond that is Mount Charleston, which often offers a peek at snow each winter.Because of its desert location, Las Vegas is often falsely believed to have hot temperatures year-round.
