Narrative:
During takeoff, I noticed unusual steep climb. After takeoff unusual sounds of bumps were heard. Flight attendant #2 called me to say the cabin around her area was very hot. I went into the cockpit and told the first officer about the heat and he assured me that they knew about it and that we were returning to las because of the problem they were having in the aircraft nose cone and also pressurization. We returned las. Passenger deplaned at the gate. The aircraft was fixed after 2 hours and we resumed our flight to ord.
