Good morning everyone! I hope you are all are having a good day so far. I am impressed as I was able to sleep until 3:30am today which doesn't happen too often. Lately, I have been up around 1:30 or 2am Just that little bit of extra sleep can make me feel so much better.
About 10 years ago, I moved from Tennessee to live with my brother in Las Vegas, NV. I was a little leery at first but soon found out that it was just like any other city. The only different may be the people because it's a melting pot and a lot of people either want to win big or they are all about themselves. But, you can find some really nice people there as well.
I really miss Vegas at times. They sky is always blue as it rarely ever rains. There is always something to do. There are no bugs like mosquitos or ticks because it gets too hot. It does get cold during the winter as it is the dessert but it's no where near as cold as where I am now. The major drawback is how hot it gets in the summer and it's a dry heat like when you open an oven door but no humidity at all. And there are no tornados, but there is some major wind that can blow through at 40 to 50 or more miles per hour.
If I had a chance, I would move back. I really loved it there and didn't realize how much until we left. Maybe one day... Anyway, I hope everyone has a fantastic day today!

I've never been to Vegas but hopefully one day I'll get there. I had a friend once who went to Vegas, came home, packed and moved there.

@simone10 it sounds like ideal weather to me. I hate winter and snow

We were in Vegas quite a while ago... but it was a fun town for sure! Did I ever mention how much I hate ticks!! That's reason enough for me to move somewhere hot!!!

My best friend's daughter lives there.
My most favorite place to live was the little country village that we lived in for 21 years.
I wouldn't want to move back there again, the lots are too large to maintain, but we would consider moving to the city not too far from there. Maybe for our retirement years.

I lived in Vegas for awhile and know all about the oven heat.

@simone10 Ultimately I did not like living in Vegas.

@JohnRoberts I can understand. My brother feels that way so I doubt we will ever move back.

I enjoyed a visit to Las Vegas but I would not like that terrible heat. I really enjoy the four season that we have in the northeast. Though as we know, I escape to Florida during the winter.

When I lived in Memphis we would go to Vegas 2-3 times a year. The last time i was there I took someone who had never been to Vegas--neither of us were gamblers so after seeing the dam there really wasn't anything to do as it was Thanksgiving weekend 1976 (OMG! 43 years ago!! I was a baby!) and there weren't any headliners or good shows so I said that we should leave and go to La and see Laguna Beach, Malibu, Beverlt Hills, etc., and places I lived in 1959--OMG!! 60 years ago--YOU are making me old!!

I have been to Las Vegas many times. I loved it there years ago but now it has become too commercial with all the shopping malls. Also in the casino's when you won on the machine it only makes a sound and prints out the ticket which is not as exhilarating as when it paid out cash! MY favourite hotel is the Venetian. I love that place.

@garymarsh6 it seems the older I get, the more the humidity gets to me.

I loved Las Vegas even though I did get sick when my fiance and I went a few years ago. I want to go back sometime.

@simone10 it sorta did. There was some stuff I wanted to see and do, but with me being sick I didn't get to pay attention to some stuff.
