Complaints about heavy traffic are common for every city, but since so many adore Vegas, I'll just go ahead and say it: it takes 30 mins to go a 10-15 min distance. If not longer. If you're on the bus, it'll take you 40-45 mins to go a 15 min distance during high traffic.
There are so many fatal traffic accidents here, injury attorneys must have an income that rivals a bartender's and card dealer's income. The attorneys probably make more than the police.
For the most part, people are incredibly unfriendly, and it's a sentinent shared by many that move from other cities to Vegas. People from Philadelphia, Chicago, Washington and California have told me how disappointed they are in the ugliness of Vegas citizens.
If you're from California, Washington or any state that fosters a strong community spirit, moving to Vegas will be an excruciating culture shock. Moving from a city like Huntington Beach, California to Vegas would be like moving from a palace into a cardboard box, in terms of community spirit, recreational activities and just life.
When it comes to the job market and overall economy, to each his own. Plenty of information awaits online for you, and it's up to you to make the call.
If you're not a sex fiend, a mall hopper, alcoholic or gambling fanatic, you'll find very little to do in Vegas. Malls feature nothing but the usual chain stores. Boutiques don't exist-at least not California-esque boutiques.
Pros: Henderson and Summerlin areas are quiet and family friendly. Libraries are great sanctuaries. Vegas has a lot of juice and smoothie bars.
Cons: Everything else.
