Review of Las Vegas, Nevada


Tampa to Las Vegas
Star Rating - 5/31/2014
Las Vegas is hot!! But besides the climate, I really enjoy living in the South West area (Mountain Edge Community) The houses are newer, there are stores and restaurants everywhere. I most importantly love the newer schools. My children love their new school here compared to the East Coast. The crime here is mostly over by the strip and Northern part of Las Vegas. I haven't experienced anything negative, expect for that I'm starting to notice more people moving down into this area. The streets get a bit overcrowded during the afternoon. I'm currently renting a 4 br home for $1,200 and well worth it. The only thing I really have an issue with is the heat. This heat is extreme and although there isn't much humidity the wind carries the heat. It almost feels as if you have a blow dryer on your face. You have to be careful when you take the children outside and base your outdoor outings on the weather channel. When it gets cold its freaking cold!!! It can snow here and the wind chill is bitter cold. I'll be here for a couple of years, my next home will be with a pool. Good Luck to anyone moving here..

Hi Liz, Thank you so much for your informative post. I too am relocating with my family from Florida (orlando area) and was curious about the rent costs and particularly schooling. I have two high schoolers. Any recommendations on areas with good, safe high schools. And any suggestions on the job market. I've been in sales most of my life and was hoping to find an inside sales job in which I can make at least 75k Joseph
