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!

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.
