I have lived well over half my life (40+ years) in the Chihuahuan Desert but have traveled through, hiked and camped in every major desert of the United States and Mexico. I have also traveled the entire length of the Atacama Desert in Chile by land. Las Vegas is located on the northern edge of the Mojave Desert.
I have my theory as to why Desert Denial is so prevalent in southern Nevada: most people in Las Vegas (including yours truly) are not from here; theyâre from California, New York, Florida, Minnesota and dozens of other statesâ¦not to mention other countries.
