Correct! Las Vegas, Nevada has a desert climate. This classification is based on its characteristics such as low annual precipitation and high temperatures. In this case, the average temperature of 45°F in January supports this classification. Additionally, the fact that it receives only 4.2 inches of precipitation per year further confirms that it falls under the desert climate category.
