They are common, mostly outside roaches if in a home. If the previous owner/tenant had Germans then the place will most likely have them also.

If you are moving into an apartment or an condo, then you have to remember that you are basically living with 7 to 15 other families. What they do or how dirty they are can affect your home.

We went to the Whole Foods cheese cracking celebration at noon. They were cracking open the 80lb parmesan reggiano cheese all at once around the nation. And gave out samples of the cheese and wine. The wine was very good. Smooth and very tasty. I don't think I've ever had wine that good before. I just wish I could have taken the whole bottle home with me.

I have a Las Vegas climate question and it might sound silly, but here goes. I was on a topography map for Las Vegas and a good one too, it's interactive and shows the elevation under the center crossbar, works on other areas beside Las Vegas, but where I have it currently centered at Las Vegas, Nevada Topo Map and as I move it around, it is showing down by the Strip area is maybe 2,000 feet above sea level elevation. Then as I move it around the valley into the foothills, if I put it up in areas which are still populated neighborhoods, not way out in the middle of the mountains somewhere, but it is showing some neighborhoods sit well above 2,000 feet elevation, some go up to 2,600 and higher. So then that begs the question, since it is a vertical climate in Las Vegas and you can have sun in the desert with snow in the mountains, for neighborhoods up in the foothills, even at 2,600 feet elevation, does the air start to feel cooler, being just that little bit higher up off the desert floor below? Or no, even if it's 2,600 feet instead of 2,000 feet at the Strip, if it's middle of summer and hot, then it's hot at 2,600 feet too, it doesn't get a few degrees colder because it is higher up, correct? I guess that is like asking if it's sunny and warm down on the Strip, up on the 215 Beltway, it's not going to be a chance of snow, the difference in temperatures isn't that great, correct? If it's A/C weather on the Strip, it is going to be A/C weather along the Beltway?

Yes, it can vary by several degrees. You can use the KLAS Weatherbug to check the current temp at numerous locations around the valley. Just click on the green station dot on the map.

Thanks for the information. I tried different zipcodes at the KLAS weather station and saw there were differences. It was low 80's central in downtown and strip areas, cooler in some of the hillier areas, into the mid 70's. It was in the 20's in Mt. Charleston but I assume that is normal if that is the ski area. 89149 in the NW showed the hottest at 114-degrees compared to downtown areas in the 80's compared to foothills in the 70's.

When its A/C weather in Las Vegas Sheryl, it's A/C weather all over the valley. While I can't say for sure about the perimeters of the valley to the North and East, I know that up here in West part of the valley (Summerlin-Lone Mountain) it's always a few degrees cooler (and I mean a few) than any temps officially shown for the Strip. We also might get snow flurries in winter and sometimes an inch or two of snow, whereas, the rest of the valley might get none, and vice a versa.

Being closer to the Spring Mountains does in fact, change your climate/weather a bit, but in summer, you'll need the A/C no matter if you're on the Strip, in Henderson, NLV, Summerlin area and everywhere on the Beltway.
