I would dislike it for other reasons, I agree on heat.

Traffic
Tourists
Homeless
Sameness, the whole town looks the same.
Too flat and colorless.
Crime
Cost of living.

I like living where it's green in the summer. Where
I can drive by corn fields and winding hilly roads
2 min from my house. It's almost like Vegas isn't a
place to live, it's like your sentenced there. Maybe
your sentence is almost up, Wiz.


Evenbob, have you lived in Las Vegas? I really think you missed on almost every point. Traffic in LV is not bad. Most locals rarely deal with tourists. Most homeless congregate in a very few small area near downtown. If you think the strip looks like the rest of the city, get your eyes checked. Too flat? I look outside and see mountains 360 degrees. I agree with Wizard, I doubt the crime is much worse than similar sized cities. Median housing prices in LV are lower than national averages.

With all that in mind, I don't love Las Vegas and look forward to retiring away from here. Some people love the desert landscape but I think it is truly boring and ugly. I also miss all of the green and tree lined streets of many other places.
At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a detrrent.

Maybe if there were more long-term residents, you could roof the city over and terraform it ;)

Traffic sucks in Vegas compared to where I
live. I would be playing every day if I lived
in Vegas, that would be the point of living
there. So I would be dealing with traffic and
tourists every day. During the week in the
middle of the day it takes me at least 20min
to get to the MGM from DT. That same distance
here takes under 10min. Quality of life sucks
in Vegas if you have real Q of L to compare
it to.
If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.
