Vegas gives us no state income tax, world class entertainment/dining every day of the week, smooth roads, mountain views, palm trees everywhere you look, incredible hiking trails, hot springs, a ski resort, beautiful national and state parks in close proximity, a vast selection of fast food, restaurants open 24 hours (like Buffalo Wild Wings), awesome live music EVERY night of the week and you can buy beer 24 hours a day while enjoying the most incredible PEOPLE (from all over the world) WATCHING ever. We also have a kick ass airport with cheap(er) flights to a ton of destinations all over the world. You can have your feet in the ocean with a 4 hour drive, hit up Phoenix or San Diego in 5 hours or spend the day on the most amazing man made lake (Mead) exploring it's over 500 miles of shoreline.
We enjoy over 300 days of SUNSHINE every year! Yeah it gets hot 2.5 months out of the year but we also have elevation everywhere around us which means, you can take a quick drive up the mountains and enjoy an amazing 70 degree day in the middle of summer! Vegas is also a relatively newer town ranking number ONE in handicap accessibility. There's really no other city like it!
If you have any questions or want to learn more about what it's like living in Vegas, send me an email and we'll chat and in the meantime, VIVA LAS VEGAS!!

Summer is really really hot, 3-4 months of staying indoors. No outdoor activities whatsoever and cooler months are too cold. If you are an outdoors person, skip Vegas.
There's dust all over and you have to clean almost everyday.
2018 House prices are going up like crazy. A friend bought a crappy $250K house which was sold for $90k in 2014.
Salary is almost below average and there are more renters than homeowners.
Vegas is not for everybody. If you love the desert, gambling and entertainment... then you have the money to waste else, you'll end up penniless.
Living in Las Vegas is very comfortable and affordable. I believe the average salary is slightly low but the cost of living is very reasonable.
