Sorry?

The vast majority of the contributors to this list like Las Vegas.

I certainly do...

It sounds like you are typical of most people...they browse the new forum searching for all of the negative titled threads...and then fear the worse.

As a regular Las Vegas forum viewer...80% (or even much higher) of it is positive with people who really like living in Las Vegas...you just need to view a lot more...and try NOT to focus on opening ONLY the negative thread titles that you see.

Much of Vegas (residential at least) is bright, shiney, and offers alot of options in newer housing. Summerlin is a nice area. There really is much to like about Vegas...great shopping, some amazing outdoor recreation areas outside the city, the masterplans are very livable, and its really easy to find your way around. I would rate the job the city does maintaining the parks, streets, ect as excellent (at least on the West side of the city). Many people complain because they lost money (sometimes HUGE amounts) on their homes and/or lost their jobs. While Vegas is one of the cities hardest hit, these circumstances certainly aren't specific to the city.

Yep...there are a lot of people who love Vegas. Include me on that list. Search a little harder, the threads are here....

Why would you be looking for positive feedback in a thread with this title?

I am far away to be negative. Search in google: moving-henderson, (summerlin) and check it out!
For about a month I search on city-data and read ALL threads. What I got was: Las Vegas - don't move, Phenix is better, loosers from LA are moving here, schools sucks, crime high, no jobs, people rude, hard to make friends, very hot, wind, polution and so on ...


Thank you all. Light in the tunnel. ufff

Actually, your post is the most negative I've read on Vegas in a very, very, long time.
