Long-duration desert heat
Summer heat often extends from late morning well into the evening. Check the feels-like temperature and later hourly cards before assuming darkness has made a normal walk comfortable.
See whether it is safe to walk your dog in Las Vegas right now, then compare the next 12 hours for a cooler or safer window.
Las Vegas combines desert heat, intense sun, very dry air, and long stretches of exposed pavement. Temperatures can remain high after sunset, so the live hourly trend is more useful than choosing an evening walk by the clock alone.

Warm-season storms can bring sudden wind, lightning, dust, and fast runoff through low areas. Shorten or postpone a walk when storms are nearby, even if rain briefly lowers the temperature.
Asphalt, concrete, decorative rock, and artificial turf can hold heat after the air starts cooling. Favor shaded dirt or grass and test any exposed surface before committing to a route.
Low humidity can make sweat and moisture disappear quickly while dogs still lose fluid through panting. Carry water and watch for slowing, heavy panting, or repeated attempts to stop in shade.
