Las Vegas  

I don't think that I would want to live there but I do want to visit. I haven't ever been there and I really want to go. I wouldn't spent to much. and if I won some I would try to quit well I was ahead.

any where you live has a bad side. Some places you hear more about it than others. Personally, I would never live in the States because of the gun laws. I don't even like living in big cities, but have found the smaller towns to be just as bad. Society creates problems and society has to live with them. Vegas isn't even a place I would visit. Too many people for me! lol.

Hi Worldwise,
We just moved FROM Las Vegas to the Northwest. Most who live in Vegas have regular jobs and the housing is booming. It's very expensive now to buy home, or stay at one of the hotels or see a show. It is not a good place to raise your family if you don't have to. Too many billboards etc touting a lifestyle most would rather their children not try. Clark County has one of the worst school districts in the nation and one of the highest crime areas. It was reported shortly before we left. It also ranked close to last for prenatal and hospital care. Most jobs pay just above minimum wage, and they have the worst traffic in the nation outside of Los Angles, also reported right before we left this past July. I don't think people are flocking to Las Vegas for the lifestyle necessarily, but rather for the work. It has one of the lowest unemployment stats in the nation....at least that's ONE positive for Sin City. lol

I'm totally turned off by such glitz...LOL...a place like Las Vegas would have no appeal to me...Not that it's like that, but so many years ago I went to Miami Beach area of Florida, and I found it BORING...unless you were into the disco scene there was nothing to do there...Me---give me nice quiet countrysides, and if I were to stay someplace, it be a quaint bed and breakfast. Also, so many years ago, my mom and I went often to DisneyWorld ....a few times we stayed at the enormous Contemporary Resort...hated it...but then we would stay at the Polynesian Village which made one feel I was on an exotic isle of the Hawaiian area---
nope....I just am not a fan for any kind of glitz...it just seems so cheap and cheesy...lol..so definitely not...I wouldn't be attracted to move to such a place or live the Las Vegas lifestyle--guess I have simple values

I think it is not a good place to live because the social environment I do not like. The city is big and I am afraid of safety.

I had a friend that was in the air-force years ago in Las Vegas. He would call and tell me about all the casinos he would go to. It sounded like a lot of fun. I would be to scared of spending my money though if I went. Then again I bet on dog races and I stopped one I lost twice.So I know when to quit.I think I just want to see what it is like to play on a slot machine because in Florida it is illegal

I am much like you, in that I have the wild partying image of Vegas, and I cannot feature myself fitting in. It is not even on my list of places I would like to visit. I do know that lots of people love it, both as a destination and as a home, and I am sure there are "normal" people and "regular" lifestyles there.

Hello!
Las Vegas is a beautiful city indeed but I don't think I would prefer living there. Vacation or visiting there would be a great idea especially if you have lots of money, just imagine all those casinos, bars ..ohhh it's like they're all calling your names and seducing you to spend your money...If you go to Las Vegas..it's all about money...money...money...*hehe* Take care. *smile*

ciao! c",)

I don't know that I would choose to live there, although UNLV has a great paleontology department which is one of the things I study. I think if my husband needed to move there for a job that I wouldn't mind living there, its just not somewhere I would pick.

I've been there once for a 3 day vacation and we did have fun while we were there. It's not somewhere I'd like to live though. It's my understanding that it's a very expensive place to live, even if you don't frequent the casinos. According to my hubby, he would make at least double what he makes here in Texas, but since he likes the casinos, I don't think we would be ahead by much in the end, lol. :)
