I don't understand Posted On: 4/26/2012 2:34:37 PM

I don't know what to say. I live in Los Angeles. I visit Vegas often. Not even for the gambling, but for the shopping, dining, and the overall energy of the city. For some reason, I especially think Vegas is beautiful at Christmastime. I love the lights. I love the desert landscape. The housing in cheaper. Fuel is cheaper. Everything in the world a person could want (except greenery) "seems" to be there. I'd LOVE to live there. I have no problem with L.A., other than it's expensive, crowded and distended. But I read what I see here, and what everyone says about Vegas. It's so dismal. I can't get over it. I don't understand how a place that has everything in the world to offer, practically, and is in such a beautiful setting, can be such a perfectly awful place to live. I just don't get it. Ok, so it's hot. I prefer that (myself) to the chilly coastal weather in California. No greenery--that doesn't bother me. I grew up in NY. The desert is a novelty to me. Drugs. Crime. Etc. Isn't that part of EVERY major city?
