Why Allergies Are Worse in Las Vegas
Las Vegas's Mojave Desert valley location combines legacy non-native landscaping with extreme heat, chronic desert dust, and an urban heat island that traps pollen near the ground.
Legacy Mulberry and Olive Trees
Despite Clark County's 1991 planting ban, thousands of mature mulberry and olive trees in older neighborhoods continue producing extreme pollen loads each spring.
Desert Dust and Dry Air
Fine alkaline desert dust and PM10 irritate airways year-round while extremely low humidity strips nasal defenses, amplifying reactions to inhaled allergens.
Urban Heat Island
Las Vegas's heat island traps pollen near ground level and extends the growing season for Bermuda grass on irrigated lawns, golf courses, and resort landscaping.
