A place I love - 11/6/2017
I was motivated to write this review because Las Vegas is my favorite getaway from SE Colorado, where I live. I've been there many, many times -- I stay overnight there to go shop in Santa Fe and hike in the mountains. I was saddened by the negative reviews, because I love this town. The only reason I didn't give it five stars is that I don't live there (yet!), and I know that it has some crime problems. So does Manhattan :-) And I'd WAY rather live in Las Vegas than Manhattan.

The town is a festival of litter and poor maintenance. The people I saw all seemed depressed and ones I talked to were very curt and it was a beautiful sunny afternoon.
At the city park there was newer and older playground equipment and a newer

Quality of life? - 3/21/2009
Las Vegas New Mexico is truly an architectural gem-100s of historic registered buildings from victorian mansions to adobe haciendas unfortunately it is also full of drugs and small minded narrow viewed politicians. Las VEgas NM is leave it to beaverville by day and Fredie Krugerville by night. Financially affordable but other prices very high.
