Las Vegas locals are used to gamblers getting burned on the strip, but this year the sun is putting everyone in the hot seat. Sin City broke their all-time record of five consecutive days with temperatures above 115 degrees on Wednesday, shattering a four-day heat streak set in July of 2005. Meteorologists expect the heat wave to continue until Friday. The city also set a new daily mark of 119 degrees on Tuesday, one degree off from bursting their all-time highest temperature of 120. More than 151 million Americans were under heat alerts on Wednesday, or 45 percent of the population, according to a heat tracker managed by Heat.gov, a division of the National Weather Service. The heat wave this early in the summer is as unprecedented as it is dangerous. There have been at least nine heat-related deaths in Clark County, which includes Vegas and some of its suburbs.
