I live in Ocala, FL and am moving out to NV in 28 days will arrive in LV in aprox 32 days. My best advice is VISIT AT LEAST ONCE FIRST and in the summer is better. The heat is completley different than we have here and while it would seem that LV vs Orlando wouldn't be much different, it is. If and when you do visit be sure to GET OFF THE STRIP as that really is not an accurate view of LV as far as living there is concerned. It took my hubs 2 years and 2 visits to get me as excited as he is about this move. It is not cheap to get all of your belongings across the country, we are starting over. Uhall trailer hitch $250 the smallest trailer they offer $350 plus the extra gas for having to pull the extra weight. Make sure you have enough money to keep yourselves in a home and food for at least 3-6 months just in case work isn't as easy to come by as you may think. Take the first job offer that comes by, the dream job may take a while to come by. But most of all, if this is what you really want to do, DON'T LET ANYONE CHANGE YOUR MIND FOR YOU! You will hear both positive and negative remarks about a move like this, take them with a grain of salt, no one knows if this will be right for you but you and you may not know yourself until well after you arrive in LV. GOOD LUCK!
