I just looked at your profile, and I just wanted to say I love those Italian Greyhounds. At the security site I am at, one of the workers has one and brings it into work on the weekends. She is about 16 pounds, and man can she run.

Those of us who actually live here have a better grasp on life in general here. Those that had to move back home because they made a bad decision and do not live here have no business trying to guess how things are in LV, nor should they be giving advice to those wanting to move here.

Just my 2 cents, add a few bucks for inflation.
what part of town?

The one that comes to my work is very sweet. I am normally not a fan of small dogs, but I like the Italian Greyhounds.

Italian Greyhound = IG = Iggy/ies.

They're also great jumpers. My girl Jackie can jump up and kiss my nose, and I'm 5'10". They're very friendly, but Jackie doesn't like men that much. I don't know why, she was never abused, and I had her since she was a puppy. I need to take them to dog parks, once I get my schedule settled.

Fact? I think not. More like predictions. There is a difference.

I keep hoping that the city center will at least have something going for it at night. So many buildings in Las Vegas take on a better aura after dark. I hope the place doesn't blast nasty music at passers by, and adopt a cheap carnival atmosphere. We have enough of that along the claustrophobic tourist trap gift shops. I always feel like a giant hook is going to come out and pull me in, then vacuum out my pocketbook. Yikes !
