Do you ever get used to the DRY

Question for the Vegas transplants...

Seems like every trip I go to Vegas I end up leaving a week later with chapped lips.    I always just figured I was drinking too much alcolhol...but this past trip I kept my alcohol in check and I was downing about 10 cups of water a day.....and I burned through half a chapstik too.....and I still had chapped lips at the end of my stay.

If you live there does your body adjust to the climate after some time?  Or would somebody like me be doomed to having raw hamburger for lips ?

Humidity is fairly low where I live - not quite as low as Las Vegas - and Las Vegas humidity doesn't affect me when I visit. Your body does adjust to it over time, otherwise everyone you see in Las Vegas would have "hamburger lips".

I noticed my eyes being watery, was having to dab them a lot especially on the flight home.  Somebody said the low humidity I wasn't used to was the cause.  Seemed backwards, but supposedly is the body's response to dry eyes, not the more serious opthalomologic condition of dry eye but spending 4 days in the 'dry heat.'  It cleared up after being home a day or so.

Lip balm:do not run out!

Very low humidity will be bad for nose bleeds as well.Your nose needs water,too.

Visene? Never used it.

4 beers and 7 waters inside a casino=maybe one trip to the washroom.

105* outside and I just do not perspire.It evaporates.

(Hand sanitizer is also a good thing. Some casinos still have those moistened packets from the coin days.)

 I have taken a wet towel to bed with me to help regulate the dry air that I breathe.

After a shower,leave the door open!

  In the HOT weather,hang out under a mister for a while.I have gone outside wearing a WET t shirt to be cool. Lasts about 1 hour.A denim baseball caps works as well.

At the Belagio fountains,watch from the South end for the moist air.

  If you do weed,smoke from a bong.

I'm into the lip balm my second day in town.  And using eye drops by day 3.  Seems the older I get, the faster Vegas dries me out.  Anyway, I never go without lip balm, eye drops and, if I'm going to be outside for any length of time, a hat of some kind.  When I get back home, I'm good by the next day.

Every trip I come back home and my sinus seems to be messed up.The dry heat got me the one trip I took in July years ago, I rashed in my arm pit area, both sides. Hardly spent time outside too because of the obvious heat 

All I know is that just when my hip and knees start feeling no pain, it's time for me to go back home.

If you have ever lived through many midwest winters, you won't complain about the dry heat.

I can only compare an August in, say, Houston to one in Vegas and remark that while both are unpleasant, one is somewhat tolerable while the other is not. To make an analogy, summer in Vegas is like listening to a Trump speech. Summer in Houston or Miami is like having sex with Trump.

Every place on Earth, with a few exceptions such as San Diego, has several months of shitty weather. Yet, people live in such places, indicating that people do get used to it. I have a couple of friends who moved to Vegas from Minnesota after one too many Februaries spent with the realization that it was going to be snowy and freezing for two more months. They consider Vegas summers a small price to pay.

I actually prefer being cold to being hot. But I vastly prefer dry climates to humid ones. That's why while I avoid Vegas in the summer, I can tolerate it for brief periods. But five minutes in the Deep South in summer would have me climbing the walls.
