I moved here from Los Angeles and I can tell you Las Vegas like all cities has its good point’s and bad point’s. No city is perfect so stop looking for that!
First, if you like a lot of entertainment, low cost of living, low taxes, a chance to own a home Las Vegas is the place to be. It is hot here like 4-5 months a year but who doesn’t know that?? I also lived in NY were it snows and it gets 20’ below zero sometimes.. research weather people before you look to move.. this is the desert ! dah!
Crime is about the same in LA compared to Vegas, not worse or not less. So not sure what all the crime talk is about. Living in LA crime is all over the city too, all big cities have crime. If your looking for low crime move to Idaho.
I can tell you living in LA/California is horrible compared to Las Vegas. In Las Vegas you can have fun and have a chance to make it and get a home. I think it’s a better place to live if your single and don’t plan to have a family. In LA commute time is horrible it takes 2 hours to get anywhere in the city, also average rent in a decent neighborhood is $1600-$1800 (1 bedroom) and if you want to buy a home.. good luck So expensive that most people have to drive 3 hours to Riverside County to buy a home and taxes are the worst in California too.. the state takes an income tax out of your paycheck because ½ the people in California are illegal and or on disability.
Job market is actually better in Vegas than in LA/OC California.. because of the high taxes, high cost of living all the good business and good pay jobs are leaving to Texas and other states.. I found a job working at a bank and make a good living and bought a home.
