For their anniversary road trip through the West, an escape from the humid misery of a Louisiana summer, Tyson and Adeline Maddox rented a glimmering convertible.
“Reminds me of the engine room,” Mr. Maddox grumbled of the weather as he left the “Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas” sign on Wednesday evening, when temperatures were still well into triple digits.
“The heat, it’s just constantly coming,” Ms. Maddox added later.
“It’s like being in front of an exhaust pipe.”So it has been around the Las Vegas area this week.
Merely walking through a parking lot meant squinting — not at the sunlight blanketing the region, but at a heat so punishing that eyes hurt without ever actually watering.
