I've lived in Vegas for a while now... And seriously, the heat isn't very bad. This is coming from a lifelong Wisconsin resident where there is bitter cold for a huge chunk of the year.
You just have to remember to drink a lot of water in the Summertime... No big deal.
In the middle of the Summer, shaded areas are perfectly fine as there is always a breeze in Vegas.
When you catch those 105 degree days, you'll find that the nights are absolutely amazing. Once the Sun disappears behind the western mountains, the temperature falls fast... And again, it's the Sun that provides the intensity in the summer.
So yes, the days can get intense... But 85 with a breeze at night is perfection.

Thanks for the comment. Regarding your sun provides intense heat comment, I've heard Phoenix STAYS hot at night, even after the sun is long gone. I've always thought that was a vary curious thing for people to say, maybe even an exaggeration.

There's much more concrete in Phoenix than in Las Vegas (I believe). The concrete holds the heat in longer and radiates that heat near the ground level. That's how I've seen it explained on the news a few times at least.
A breeze blows in Vegas more then it does in Phoenix. Phoenix is hotter.
