This is John Batchett, a conversation with Jeff Bliss, his specific watch about Vegas Report.

I asked Jeff, what's it like to move around at 114-18 degrees, reported these last days out west. Jeff gives a very careful

description of how to do it safely. And then he reminds all of us the

challenge ahead for Vegas as it builds itself a magic city,

the heat, the need for air conditioner.

Jeff Bliss, looking ahead for Vegas and looking out for all of us if we had moved through a hundred and fourteen

hundred eighteen degrees in bright sunshine more of this tonight.

of temperature you always want to make sure you're you're not exposed to the sun

you know long sleeves longer pants it if you can hat but you have to stay hydrated and really the key is to either

be in the shade or get between into buildings or cars that are air condition.

total one of these days, they're trying to address what they're going to need with

air conditioning. It's going to be a tough row, but that's
