I think the guy had some pretty high expectations of what his life would be like when he moved to Vegas, and they failed.

I feel sorry for him.

I want to move to Vegas but I have found some stunning discouraging things about it. I still planning to move there but I just have to accept the facts.

I had a realiable source that many of the residents there are very careless. She told me that many people there gamble away their home, family and kids. She was not kidding. She told me many people move there where doing drugs, stealing, gambled away everything. She told me even great proffesion jobs like Doctors and Police are horrible trained. She told me she knew alot of doctors gamble away everything and where very careless. Can you say biggest Hepetisis C exposure ever? She told me Police are horrible. I always read stories of people getting shot in Vegas area by Police. I could not believe until I read the Henderson Murder of that Albanian Ice cream lady by Polcie.

I hear there is a really hidden crime problem. Crystal Meth Addicts roam the night in the dark and rob and steal everything at night. When I was in Las Vegas on business, I went to a 24 hour Super Walmart pass Midnight. I was stunned to see some of the people walking in there. Go to google and type "Crystal Meth" then view the Google pictures by pressing the "Images"tab. I swear to god, it seems everyone in there looked like a crystal Meth addict.

THis is just a few sample I have time to share with many of you. If you have moved out of vegas, please let me know why??? I really do want to move there! I just want the plain facts. When I was there, I was overjoyed and it was a place for me.
That is a harsh accusation considering all of the facts have not been released. Why must people insist on jumping to mis-informed conclusions. I'm not arguing either way, but keep an open mind until the facts are on the table.

Congratulations!!! Great area! We do Pest control services. Most seen bugs are usually ants, earwigs, silverfish and nice way to put it waterbugs (roaches). Occasionally you may see spiders and scorpions.

That's any 24/7 Walmart, anywhere in the country, not just LV.

That's not my point.

Any 24 hour Walmart I was unfortunate enough to visit had its fair share of freaks, and trailer trash. Using Walmart as a way to gauge LV is ridiculous.
