Tell me about living in Las Vegas
Seriously considering a move in the next month to two months. I have some great job opportunities out there, and my wife and BIL have more opportunity out there as well. As much as I love where I'm at, adult Disneyland doesn't sound too bad either for a guy with no children. I have some questions I'm hoping some folks here can answer for me.

1. Where do I NOT want to live around Vegas?

2. Are there some temporary places available for us until we find long term housing?

3. My BIL works in the restaurant industry, and low level jobs. He's slightly mentally disabled but has a very good work ethic, and is self sufficient. What are average wages for just above low level jobs out there? What kind of tip money could a busser make in a decent restaurant?

4. How easy is it to get a pot card? I've seen sleep apnea, and all sorts of crazy shit getting you one of these in other states. How relaxed is it? And are there stores I can buy it from, or do I have to procure it on my own?

I'm sure I'll think of more as I go along, and feel free to throw in any pertinent information you think I should be aware of. I appreciate the insight, and info in advance.

I just watched 3 episodes of counting cars

It seems you can stop people on the street at random in Vegas, buy their car, do stuff to it, sell it, and make lots of money just in case you are looking for a side gig

Vegas would be a pretty cool place to be. Best of luck

Before you buy, check for uranium. I saw an episode of I Love Lucy once where they were finding uranium all over the place on a trip to Nevada.

My best friend was stationed at Nellis. He hated it. Hot and dry all the time gets old fast. As a higher ranking officer he made a good living, but it's not a happy place to live if you don't, which could suck for your BIL. His troops had all sorts of issues with gambling and being in debt.

And if you have an addictive personality, you're playing with fire, because everything bad for you is right there waiting 24/7.

I was stationed around there from 1995-1999 while in the Air Force.

Do NOT live in or around North Las Vegas. It's a really rough area. It's a city on North Las Vegas Boulevard before you get to the Nellis area. We lived near the base and unfortunately, that's where our daughter got sent to middle school. Our first time with metal detectors and cops on campus, AT A MIDDLE SCHOOL! There are some other areas not great... Avoid areas around the Stratusphere to Old Downtown area. Henderson is nice, Southeast. A lot of folks when I was there were buying/renting on the West side towards Summerlan. All the West stuff is newest and nicer areas.

If you're without children, you should have a great time...lots of shows, obviously, and triple A baseball, and good eating. I had two young kids, and it's not the city for them. Dirty place, lots of panhandling, and sin-city kind of slaps them in the face.

You're in a bowl, surrounded by mountains, so smog is horrible at times. But, the wind blows almost all the time so it gets blown out. Also, there was a problem with humidity increasing while there...lots of people wanting grass and watering lawns and all the big casino water stuff and pools. The increasing humidity was making the heat a lot worse. Not sure if it's better yet...they made a 'rule' that new homes had to have 'desert' landscaping, no more grass.

The city is all about the service industry and your BIL shouldn't have any trouble finding work and getting a decent wage...not sure on the amount.

Here's something that not many think about. Car Insurance rates are ridiculous! My rates tripled from my mid-western, Omaha rates. We made the mistake of buying a house while in the military...about went bankrupt. My wife went to work (department store and telemarketing) and bailed us out.

I agree with Frazod about the addictive personality thing. If you or your wife has any problems with any addictions whether it be drinking, drugs, or especially gambling it's not a great place. Lots of people think they're winners and they'll take your last 20, and next month's mortgage if you have a problem.

Another thing...you're in a city in the middle of nowhere. Everything is a 6 hour drive...Phoenix, 6 hours, LA, 6 and so on. Nothing's just a half hour out of town. I'd guess it's like being on an island although I've never been to an island.

There was lots of work back then in the construction industry. But, things in the housing market crashed really bad, especially there. Not sure how things have recovered.
