Just when I think I've seen every crazy thing that might happen in this crazy city, I come across something new and different. Like, oh, say, a guy out walking his lizard. (If there is a herpetologist among my readers, feel free to speak up in the comments and tell us exactly what that thing is.)
And in case you were going to ask, yeah, it was definitely real. Let there be no doubt about that.

I know you are a stickler for proper grammar and spelling, so it pleases me to point out an error in this post.
You said, "Just when I think I've every crazy thing that might happen in this crazy city..."
You should have said, "Just when I think I've [seen] every crazy thing that might happen in this crazy city..."
I really, really enjoy reading your blog. Keep up the good work!
It looks like a Monitor Lizard.

Fixed. Thanks.
Iguana?
Although it may be a rare Lounge Lizard, it's most likely a Savannah Monitor...not native to the Vegas area. Most of our lizards are pretty small...see:

For a nice roundup of our locals. I have at least four types in my back yard (out by Red Rock). They are great helpers at cricket and outdoor roach control.
