Las Vegas 4K - Midnight Drive

Saturday night drive in the center of Las Vegas at midnight. My flight got into Las Vegas an hour before this drive. The temperature of 100 °F ( 38 °C) at 11pm as I left the airport. Its a dry heat so its like putting on clothes from the dryer. It’s a beautiful part of the US. I highly recommend a visit and don’t spend all your time on the strip! Las Vegas, The Entertainment Capital of the World, and is famous for its mega casino-hotels and associated activities.
