Yes, Vegas is finally in summer cycle. This spring has been really weird. The wind never stopped. I've been in the Grand Canyon when the south winds start in late morning. On one occasion we actually had white caps on the Colorado River. On another the wind was blowing the boats upstream! (we stopped for a couple of hours). The nature of the canyon - high walls, and of course, altitude going up, makes the upstream winds almost a guarantee if there is a low pressure system nearby. Later it brings the monsoon storms which can be awesome to witness if they are far enough away and really nasty if they are overhead.
