I'm just curious if it's actually worse than Branson. Branson had a stretch a couple of July's ago where it was 105+ for a ****ing month and the humidity just drained the ever loving shit out of you. Death warmed over. I figured it couldn't be that bad. This year was mild, but I'm used to 100 in the summer and I was hoping a lack of humidity would ease that burden some. I didn't think it would add to it!

That said, it's not anything at all like Midwest heat. The humidity that Carlotta referenced is infinitesimal compared to Missouri or Florida heat. I often complain when it's "humid" in Los Angeles, only to find out it's like at 50%. I wouldn't worry about the heat. All the homes have swimming pools, as do the apartment complexes and of course, work spaces have powerful air conditioning. That shouldn't even be a factor in your decision, IMHO. |

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.

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.

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! |

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. |
