What are the pros and cons of living in Las Vegas, Nevada, coming from Virginia?
Pros:Lots of nightlife - If you want to party (even on a Tuesday) Vegas is the place for you.Great deal of racial tolerance - Nevada used to be the “Mississippi of the West.” Las Vegas is the most racially tolerant area in the state and one of the most in the nation,IMHO.300+ days a year of sun - You can do outside things for most of the year. Very little rain and snow is a rarity.Plenty of housing - In fact, the area is overbuilt. If you want a place to stay, you’ll find one in Las Vegas.Taxes are low - No state tax, no city or county taxes and sales tax isn’t that high.Cons:Las Vegas is not for people with problems - It allows for you to drink, gamble or get high 24–7. If you have any problems with these you CANNOT live here.It can be difficult to find employment - The people who live in the city are often jaded. They are suspicious of people who recently move there and finding suitable employment (especially if you are not a professional) can be very difficult. The employment that you do find can be low-paying and short-term.It can be an ugly place to live - People often lose everything due to gambling and drug addiction. Under-employment and poverty are rife. Substance abuse isn’t an unknown quantity. And the number of homeless people seems to rise every year. Crime is also a serious concern.You’ll spend a lot of time in your car - Much of your day, in fact. Plan on leaving at least 1/2 hour early to get places. BTW, you NEED a car to live there.There’s not much “there” there - Besides the gaming, drinking and perhaps shopping, there’s not much happening in Las Vegas. The cultural events are better now than in the past, but they are still very limited. There’s not much to do in the city itself (unless you are a golfer). And despite the sunshine there are surprisingly few sporting events in the city in an overall year. Las Vegas’ purpose was to provide housing for casino workers and later to provide housing for retirees. It hasn’t grown much beyond that.
