Low humidity and ideal spring and fall temperatures make Las Vegas a great place to visit any time of the year. The average year round temperature is 80 degrees. Las Vegas is one of the sunniest cities in the United States -- with an average 320 days of sunshine per year and only 4.19 inches of rainfall.
Angelique, after you asked the question I googled Las Vegas. Found the info. above and cut and paste it here. Mostly I was kidding with you but I was a little serious (read: jealous) in that your temps in the winter can't be too terrible out there in the desert .
just under freezing, you can leave the dog in the car overnight. but during the daytime, if it's sunny out, i would not leave the dog long, and i'd leave a window open. the sun on the car will get it hot in there, even in the winter.
Haha! Not here!!! Anything under about 10C (50F) I leave the dogs in the car just fine all day. Never overheats in there. And that accommodates for a safe buffer of 5 degrees because it's actually okay up to about 15C, but I don't like to push it, so over 10C I will leave the dogs at my parents' place.
As for the winter? up here your water will still sit frozen in the car if you leave it all day, sun or no sun. I guess when I asked this question I forgot how much variability the word "winter" has across North America!
As for length of time, when I asked the question I meant personally being able to leave the dog in the car without consideration for time (aside from the obvious to relieve himself). I feel if you have to watch the clock you're probably bordering on dangerous territory. This is why I really don't play around when it comes to warming up even into the low teens here.
I didn't know what that referred to, either. But does anyone remember Bertha's Kitty Boutique advertising "heater cats" on Prairie Home Companion? These were jumbo-sized cats, so you needed fewer of them to heat your bed on a cold night. I guess the Inuits and Australians had to make do with dogs.

Heck I'd RATHER have dogs!!! My dogs are great on a cold night, they'll stay there beside me through hell and high water... But those darn cats?! Nope if it gets too cold and I'm sucking heat off them, they go curl up TOGETHER in the cat tree... I tell ya!
