i just moved to vegas, from atlanta. So far I am not impressed. The heat is really unbearable for me in the summer. The jobs/salary is below average. The city outside the strip seems to be desolate. summerlin and green valley is nice. In my opinion only certain parts of the city is nice. Outside of the casino's, niteclubs, bars, strip clubs it doesnt seem to be much to do. I'm discouraged by the dating scene being a young single female. The cost of living is cheaper, much better than los angeles. Maybe a bit more intresting than Arizona. Since the recession it's feel like a differnt city. I think if you grew up here you will be used to it. I was born in phoenix, lived in los angeles and recently from the south. The jobs are very hard to come by everywhere, but more so here from my experience. It's true you get a lot of visitors but thats becuase they think you run a hotel. Im defintely going back south asap. Healthcare seems to be average. Traffic, busy I keep hearing about more accidents here. Public transportation is a little limited. Cultrual diversity is average I guess, large latino, asian, pacific islander, population besides blacks and whites. Vegas just isnt for everybody, Not knockig it, but at least I can say I tried. Visiting and living here are two completely differnt things. Best wishes

Wowzers!
What a great first post / bump major.
Its probably what YOU did in Vegas rather than what Vegas did to you that left you with such disdain.
I wish you luck in your future endeavors. LIVE AND LEARN.

Las Vegas is a soul-sucking hellhole. It is not a good place. 24 hour access to booze helps drown out the misery of living there.
I lived there for only 8 months. In that time there were 5 stabbings and 3 murders on my block alone. All the women are plastic diseased whores and the men are about as cool as Andrew Dice Clay, who has a show you can catch for 85 dollars. The place rots. Watch out for the people who claim to enjoy it there, they are probably the most shady of them all.
