Is las Vegas in the "south"

Historical reasons. As the numerous burgers already pointed out, the south is where the confederation used to be. Nevada does not share cultural ties with the south but mostly with Utah, Idaho and other rocky mountain states.

It was south when the country still hugged the Atlantic

and kentucky too wtf?

How is Arizona, the hot place, not south?

Don't include Florida with shitxie

No it's in the Southwest. It's geographically I'm the southern half of the United States but it is culturally distinct from the southeast because outside of Southern California the area was very undeveloped until the mid-20th century.

thats cowboy land, completely different

only the red states are actually southern

Floridians don't seem to do the southern drawl accent indeed

It's not culturally Southern, like southern-accent-cousin-fucker-humid-and-wet Southern. Arizona is culturally Southwest, which is typically seen as the Four Corners region (Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico and Utah) as well as Nevada and sometimes California. Characterized by deserts, mountains, arid climates, sparse population, outdoorsy/adventure culture, heavy hispanic influence, and native american reservations. Also a lot of young people from other parts of the country who come to the mountains to "find themselves".

Alrighty.

The south should be cut off like halfway through Texas and Oklahoma in my opinion.

Are you just gonna take that from him? He's making you look like a complete idiot

Despite what Yeros think, America is not a monolith, finnbro.

The states that made up the Confederacy + West Virginia. That's actually it.

it's been called the south longer than the west existed. people know south of the dixie is south.

Arizona has a lot of Southern influence. SoCal used to as well; Breckinridge did really well there

in the countryside they do

No southern culture, it has Phoenix which is like a soulless suburban sprawl made up of retirees, codemonkeys, and Hispanic immigrants. The rest of the state is literally just reservation land, ranch/farm fields, border towns which are almost entirely Hispanic, and some crazy people in the western desert.

The South is not just a matter of geography, but culture and demographics. Miami may be more south than any other large city, but it's not the South. It's south of the South.
