14. 14 Future Problems Rumor has it that Las Vegas in the future will run out of water. Also, in our opinion, we think that this theory is correct because before crossing the Hoover Dam, the temperature rises dramatically. On a recent vacation, during the day in Las Vegas, temperatures can be up to 110 degrees! The most shocking detail though, is that in the night, people wear shorts because temperatures can be in the hundreds mostly due to the black concrete and the millions of lights that surround Las Vegas Boulevard. Only time will tell if this rumor is correct.
