Just make sure that you like really hot weather. It is not humid which makes a huge difference, but you have to really have a passion for hot weather to be comfortable here. I would say a pool in your back yard is a must. The hottest months are June through August, with mid July being the hottest. I love the hot weather and as for the rest of the year, it is wonderful. If you yearn for an outdoor garden of vegetables, it is nearly impossible.

I've lived here on and off for 10 years sometimes i live here sometimes in North Jersey.

I wonder why no one is being honest? Why Vegas?
1. Traffic is ridiculous
2. Slot machines everywhere
3. People don’t know how to drive
4. I live in Summerlin and there was a shooting two weeks ago,
5. Henderson beware the people are weird... very weird. and a Henderson address doesn’t mean your safe beware of the punk kids in basic high school and the cops... The cops will give you a speeding ticket and search your car if it’s "too nice for you" Racism is huge as well.

Honestly it doesn’t matter where in this town you are it sucks! I have a friend that just dumped 1.9 million on a high-rise condo and about a month ago they found a dead body in the building.
6. Automotive theft.
7. Crack heads everywhere
8. Alcoholics causing killing people after a night of free liquor in a casino
10. The hospitals are trash, I went in two years ago having what i thought was a heart attack in an ambulance and I was sat in the waiting room for six hours before i left and they still billed me and my insurance and that was at Summerlin hospital
11. Everyone from the bad areas of the world come to Vegas. Many people cant do a darn thing for them selves. Many illegal’s, lots of gangs, lots of morons and many tourists.

I don’t want to make anyone feel bad. If you like Vegas you like it but it doesn’t matter if you live in Spanish trails, Seven hills, Aliante, Summerlin, or even Henderson, old Henderson, green valley, the west side the new north east or North town even valley view and Penwood your going to deal with the same people.

The housing boom made it possible to buy a house for 100k 5 years ago and sell and move to newer upscale neighborhoods now. 80% of those people have kids between the ages of 5 and 17 home alone after school doing what they want. The schools here are good to get some weed and pass every student regardless of their grades... The younger generation in Vegas has no hope. Our Mayor walks around with showgirls all day and the type of people you encounter are all shady in one way or the other? Why am I still here? Simply put, my lease is over July 1st and im gone. Names Ivan im 22 and that’s the truth about Vegas.

You can be Las Vegas's new spokesperson to keep all the newbies from moving here.
Even though most of your info is wrong, it will put the fear of god into newbies wanting to move here and they will go elsewhere. Then maybe our traffic will lighten up a little and we won't have to wait so long in the grocery stores.

Good one that's what I say about folks moving to Alaska, they all come for the PFD check if that was to go away maybe we would get rid of some the challenges we currently have. Everybody and their brother moved up here for the gifted once a year check, for those with oodles of kids it pays off, maybe. We plan to become snowbirds live in northern nevada for the winter months and Alaska for the summer months. So continue to bad mouth Nevada and get rid of the PFD and I myself would have a perfect life.

Wondering how someone that is 22 knows anything about life??? And the thing about people and not driving...Jersey has the worse drivers I have ever been around. And anyone spending 1.9 milliion on a condo needs a serious check by a doctor because that is just mental!!!!!!!!!!

Most excellent post---there are many on this site that are in complete denial about what Las Vegas is--- a CESSPOOL.

You are right. Nevada is a fine place to live----Las Vegas is not.

Why do you conclude I live in Las Vegas? Maybe it is because you see what I do, but like the majority of arrivals, you are in denial? it would really be a shame if you made a mistake by moving to Las Vegas.
