I've never had a problem and I'm susceptible to mozzie bites. I think it is too dry in the desert for them to survive.

Never encountered any mozzies (or many other creepy crawlies) in Vegas.

I'm off to Greece tomorrow though for the first time and I hope I'm not going to be their feast!

We have been to Vegas at several different time of the year and have never encountered the dreaded mozzie.

In fact, when I look back I don't remember seeing any flying wildlife at all; apart from in the Stardust buffet, where the danish pastry section had some. Luckily that's not a problem anymore because the Stardust is dust.

Thank God for that.

It's been like 100 degrees around LA these last few days. Vegas will probably be hotter! Our air conditioning here at work isn't working very well today. :( Had to go home and change into shorts at lunch time!

It's interesting you saying that Luci because I assumed the same about Sharm before my first visit there in 2005. That too is surrounded by desert and temps when I was there in August were regularly above 42c so I was surprised to see the amount of mozzies we did!
It was the same when we there last month.

Perhaps the humidity is lower in LV??

Yes LV has very low humidity. Sorry that's what I meant to say. :oops:

That is what you said, very dry :wink: :D It was just me wondering why there are mozzies in Sharm when it's so hot there :D

Trying not to go totally off topic here, but maybe it has something to do with water.

Mozzies are present when there is heat and some sort of water source, such as swamps etc nearby.

Maybe such conditions exist in Sharm but not Vegas?
