We have lived on the Las Vegas Valley for almost 6 yrs and I wouldn't recomend it. The only reason we haven't moved away is because I have not figured out where to go. People here are proud of criminal behavior, stupidity and immorality. There have been 7 child murders in the Las Vegas Valley in the first 7 weeks of this year. That should give you an idea of what it is like to live here. When they interviewed for a new superintendent for the school district the top contender for the job removed his name from consideration saying that the school board is dysfunctional. This was for a job that pays $300,000 and the man turned it down because the school board is a bunch of idiots. They send out notices to parents a week after Open House happens. I read somewhere that there are fewer college graduates and more high school dropouts here than any other metro area. My experience supports that. IMO at least 85% of all people here from Doctors to Mechanics are incompetent at their jobs. (This would be outside of casinos because I have no idea what goes on there) Politicians and celebroties go to CA for medical care because it is so bad here. Ripping people off is considered SOP for many businesses and people don't even get upset about it. If you smoke, gamble, get drunk, do drugs, commit criminal acts or engage in casual sex you will love it here but if you are a non-smoker and don't like being exposed to second hand smoke, have medical needs, are trying to raise intelligent, law abiding children, don't like being ripped-off I recomend you stay away.
