This summer was actually really mild. Sometimes it's 110° plus for like two weeks and your like "**** cut me out of this skin." Wasn't like that this year. I love the winters. It never gets REALLY cold. I meet people from real cold and they wear shorts year round.
Traffic isn't that bad. Only three freeways to deal with, so check for accidents before you get on and you'll be golden. Lot of dummy's on the road, texting and Facebooking, that's the worst part, but I imagine most places are like that.
I live around Mountain's Edge, the new southwest, way the **** heading towards Red Rock, about twenty mins away. Very nice and quiet down here. With all the home market craziness, I feel like there are different kinds of people everywhere. People getting homes on the cheap and renting them out, the neighborhoods are changing. That being said, Summerlin is generally nice. Henderson has a different vibe to it then the rest of the valley. Not my cup of tea, but I don't get out much. East side and north Las Vegas are no no's in my book.
Having a one and a half year old, my wife and I are looking to move out of here once she gets her degree. The school system is lacking (it was shitty twenty years ago and I'm thinking it hasn't gotten better.) I'm not sure if it's everywhere, but kids seem to be more asshole-ish than when I grew up here. This city can be nice, but it can be vulgar and somewhat disgusting too. I like the good parts and I won't miss the shitty parts. Hope this helps.
