Humidity is like 10%.. Nothing.

Yep, heat shouldn't be a factor. 2 months out of the vs 10 months

I'll be a shorts all year round guy. And 2 months of heat is less than what I deal with here. I don't figure it will be much different in actuality, other than the lack of humidity and the warmer weather the rest of the year. If it factors, it factors favorably.

Let me know if you do......I'll take my ass down there for a visit.

I think you'll be fine with the weather. It's a "dry" heat. :D

The biggest issue in moving to Vegas is the gambling. It's a very seductive mistress and most people have to be very, very careful not to piss away their earnings.

I learned my lesson way back in 1995. I moved to LA in 1993 and would often do the drive to Vegas to party and gamble (and this was back when there were $1, $3 and $5 tables, everywhere, unlike now). I'd do well early in the night but the more I drank, the more I lost. I'd lose $400 a weekend, which at that time, was little more than I was earning net taxes per week.

I finally had a decision to make: Gamble or drink. Either or. Not both.

Drinking won.

I rarely, if ever, have gambled in Vegas since then. It's all about friends, drinking, eating, etc. since.

Good luck to you!

Absolutely!

I do like to gamble. A lot. But it's something I got a good strong handle on at a younger age. I have pretty easy access right now. It's only a 2 hour drive to the local casino. We go as often as we want, but limits, and control aren't issues so it's not something I worry about. I know the access is going to be crazy, but it's something I really don't think we'll have a hard time dealing with.

Okay, good, but please do be careful.

My friend that lived there didn't have a propensity to gamble but before he knew it, he was blowing $2-3 grand per weekend (he was earning, so he didn't go in debt or bankrupt).

But he sure wishes he hadn't blown that much dough.

Good luck anywhere bro.

From what I've read, you'll fit right in.

And quickly, too. Generally, within an hour.

In the Midwest in the summer, you walk outside and are sweating within 10 seconds because of the humidity. In Vegas, it's hot as shit, but it's like when you open an oven--dry. I prefer the dry heat over the humidity, but 110 is ****ing hot regardless.

My son moved to Vegas 2 years ago and loves it. You do not want to live north of the strip. South and the West parts are the best. The Casino's treat their employee's like shit. Most jobs are part time and no vacation time the first year.

Bob Dole lived at Painted Desert GC for a little over a year and worked in North Las Vegas. Once you get used to the fact that it seems that 90% of the residents are assholes from CA, and get away from the strip, it's pretty much like living in any other city.

Be prepared to pick people up at the airport and act as tour guide 3 weekends a month.

Good luck to you no matter your decision.
