Review of Las Vegas, Nevada


There are worse places to live
Star Rating - 2/6/2008
Las Vegas receives mixed reviews. Either they love it or hate it. My wife and I lived in Las Vegas for five years now. And we generally enjoy living here. Yes, it is hot in the summer, but there is air conditioning in the house and car. Yes, there is gambling, but we do not gamble. I personnally find gambling boring. We visit the strip for the shows and people watching. For hiking there is Red Rock, Mt Charleston,Valley of Fire. For camping, Death Valley isn't that far away as is Brice Canyon or Great Basin. Los Angeles or San Diego is only a short drive. While we do not have children, I am told the schools are not that great, but the schools are better than some other areas such as Louisiana. Depending on what you are looking for, Las Vegas has a lot to offer.

las vegas is the worst place to live. It's too hot to do anything and casinos take all your money.

Many people in Las Vegas are rejects from other parts of the country. It's sad but as kind as that may be, it just doesn't work. Perhaps they never were given the chance to learn how to live with other people or they have a criminal past or, etc. It ends up that you are always looking over your shoulder because you are with a lot of peoplel who don't know how to live within the rules of behavior. Las Vegas is certainly tolerant, but does it work?
