This is sort of an awkward question, and hope it doesn't sound elitist or snobby (I don't mean for it to at all), but most of the complaints I've heard about Vegas have been the difficulties of making a life for yourself if you're an average working Joe.

My husband, a physician, is looking at several lucrative job offers, some in Texas and one in Vegas. My question is, does Vegas ( or Henderson, Summerlin, etc) offer a pretty good quality of life if you can afford it? I've been poor before in my life, trust me - food stamps and the works. I know that some cities may be great if you can afford a certain standard of living, but suck for anyone else. So I'm wanting honest opinions from those who live there - is it okay so long as you are IN that upper income bracket?

In my very limited experience, I found that very few successful people at the top of their field relocate to LV on a permanent basis from say Beverly Hills, NYC, SF, etc. More that not, the LV transplant comes in seach of a "better" socio-economic existence. Nothing wrong with that, but until LV can provide a diversified economic base of industry, the work force will be second rate.

Nahh - But we will get together and buy you two pieces of cardboard and a marker.

Use one to get to New Orleans..

With the other you can restart the same business you have in Las Vegas.

I'm here keeping it REAL Lotus or Buzz bomb or Ruth Buzzy or what ever your name is.

What the smeg is "keeping it real?" Jesus, Mary, and Joseph on a pogo stick, Frisco, you sound like one of those (c)rappers.

Reality, like the truth, is subjective.
