Go hang out in the mostly empty books in those cities when the urge hits and avoid the drunk college kids making your experience in the books miserable. Sports books on the Strip mostly suck for a regular, parking is a hassle and getting a seat and keeping it can be a problem. Might seem fun at first but it will get old and you will eventually be an app bettor soon after.

You're kind of saying he's not allowed to like what he likes. If he likes Las Vegas sports books, he likes Las Vegas sports books. And if he's living here, chances are he will be going to a locals casino, not to the strip. Unless he enjoys that atmosphere. One of my friends swears by Sunset Station for his betting. It's a preference, with no right or wrong.

I'm 68 and moving there to an apt. Why do I need a pain in the a** house? I'm not looking to make a profit, so what if I lose money on rent, I've planned my expenses. Why live in a house by yourself at my age, with an apt I have neighbors to talk with and not worry about breakins. And if I don't like the area, ad ios. Buying a house is great when you're raising a family, looking to flip it or you're still young and want the write offs, etc but for the op and myself, renting is fine

Renting is not evil.

Mesquite. LOL. Has to be the weirdest place in the West Coast. I stopped once for some food and got sick a few hours later…then on the way back, took another shot with their food and got sick again (true story).

Haven't been back since.

Yup. Mesquite. LOL.

We already have enough people here. Most people would not like living in Las Vegas and will be broke having developed a bad habit of some kind after about six months.

The bed bugs in Las Vegas really do bite.

You want ocean? Go to Jamaica, Santa Barbara, or Seattle. Not LA, in my honest opinion.
Santa Barbara? No! No! - one of the most over-priced real estate markets in the U.S. You could buy 2 (possibly 3) Las Vegas homes of similar house-quality, neighborhood\locale quality, etc... for price of Santa Barbara home. Seattle? Probably two such homes.

Too many SB locals still living in fantasy world, holding out for pre-bubble prices, (remorseful for not selling then) resulting in homes being on market for as long as two years or more. Firms like Blackwater and Berkshire Hathaway are buying up some of them then renting out, waiting for a pre-bubble price comeback. IMHO, that may be one of Buffet's worst investment decisions ever. Those fake value prices aren't coming back. There's no appreciable economy to support that.

You can always go down to one of the luxury strip resorts or somewhere like Drai's Beach Club in LV for ocean effect
