Yes, I agree that Las Vegas was unbearably hot for that September 
UNLV-NU game, but I was also in Vegas for last December's Las Vegas Bowl 
and it was unbearably COLD for that one (windy, temperature in the high 
30's). If the Big Ten moves to the Las Vegas Bowl, don't think that a 
vacation there will be like going to a warm weather city. -- Jim B.
