Review of Las Vegas, Nevada


It's Vegas.....
Star Rating - 1/6/2020
If you like crowds, overpriced gimmicks, rampant prostitution, greed, scams on every corner, the stench of stale smoke, expensive food, expensive hotels, rude tourists, and losing all you've ever worked for....then welcome to Vegas! On an interesting note, those of us who live/work in the area avoid the strip like the plague. It's literally nothing but tourists. However, there's more to Las Vegas than the strip. North Vegas/Summerlin is a pretty nice area, but you won't avoid the slot machines. They are in every grocery store, pharmacy and every other place you could imagine. Vegas is cool to visit, but not great to live.

Lisa you are the type of person who can find fault with anything. Vegas has magic, style, entertainment great shows, a wonderful international community, and genuinely friendly people. It has its faults but compared to Cali its great place. It is up to you to find what you find. You just classified a whole city. Your not a Vegas person. I will take the magic, the entertainment, the style, and the uniquesness of Vegas over LA anytime.

You're reviewing The Strip, not the other 99 per cent. None of your descriptions apply to the Suburbs/ off the Strip. "Losing all you've ever worked for"?, is the guy who gambles. You can gamble in all 50 states these days. If a person got a problem it's not the towns fault, but the addicts. Food is cheap. Stay out of the Bellagio restaurants that's all. Try Chinatown. Great food, inexpensive. Stale smoke? Stay out of the casinos, it's easy, I've been her 8 years and have been in one twice. BTW I'm glad the nightlife and diversions are here otherwise it would be Tucson or Phoenix. The buzz of the strip is great to dip your toe into once and a while and than get out. I'm glad it's here for the 2 times per year I want a little adrenaline jolt. If you want a boring town you've got 10,000 other cities to choose from. Have at it.

It is a nice place to visit. On strip or off strip. Have family in Henderson next door. But not a place I'd ever want to live or raise kids in. It is just not a good atmosphere for normal family life. But as a place to visit, absolutely one of the best!

*EDIT* to the person who responded to this comment: I have lived in and around Vegas/Henderson since 1995. I know EXACTLY what I am talking about. I am not just reviewing the strip; I am ACCURATELY reviewing the area that I have lived in off and on for more than TWENTY YEARS. BTW, I've also lived in Phoenix. It's a beautiful city full of amazing people.

Lisa, I agree with everything that you said about this place of sin and it is nothing more than beyond truth about this hellish and pure evil city landfill, in fact, the whole entire Las Vegas Metro Area in nothing but a ginormous landfill overflowing with toxic waste and hazardous materials this is highly toxic and highly dangerous to your overall health and well being. As I myself live in this Highly disgusting piece of rotting dead corpses. Some of the top worse things above all of the rest is # 1 in violent crime on all levels, # 1 prostitution, #1 in criminal activities, # 1 in gambling, # 1 transportation (bus, taxi and transportation companies higher 100% criminal convicts), even prostitutes automatically get free passes on all transportation while other people pay for expensive transportation. I not only had my fare share of hellish nightmares riding the bus here in Las Vegas, but I was also stalked, harassed, intimidated, discriminated, abused, racism, racial profiling and much more, I also receive so many continuous non stop violent threats with death on my life, especially from Black People here, because of my race and their racial hated for me, I received these death threats from known dangerous criminals who not only are prostitutes, other criminal convicts, criminal mastermind cons and gangs, but also from employees of these criminal transportation companies, including the drivers themselves. But the # 1 worse of any of these, are the criminal prostitutes themselves, these female prostitutes are the # 1 most dangerous criminal masterminds and criminal cons here in Las Vegas. If you think that Las Vegas is so much better then California, think again! While most of Nevada is much better, only Las Vegas Metro Area is just as bad as the whole state of California itself. Las Vegas is a safe haven for all types of criminal convicts. If you live in a state and or city that are run by Democrats, then this is what you get. But if you think that Las Vegas and California are the worse, think again! Memphis, Tennessee is the # 1 U.S. city for criminal activities on all levels, including, but not limited to gang activities, gang violence, threats, terrorism, criminal masterminds, criminal cons, racism, racial profiling, gender bias, discrimination, criminal intimidation, criminal harassment and so much more on all levels. I am currently living in Las Vegas, where I grew up most of my life and lived in California and Memphis, Tennessee. Memphis, Tennessee is not only # 1 city for criminal activities on all levels throughout the nation, but Memphis, has a population of 90% Black people. What does this tell you about Memphis? Not only have received all kinds of death threats from criminal convicts, criminal mastermind cons and gangs here in Las Vegas and Memphis, but most of these violent criminal activities and death threats that I have received are mostly from Black people.

Las Vegas is a criminal landfill, built by criminal convicts Let me tell you that you are either blinded to the truth or you are a criminal convict yourself, because normal and good people with good sense and have good sixth sense high intelligence of good and pure evil knows and are able to pin all of the evil and corrupt criminal activities that any place have and Las Vegas is one of the worst places for criminal activities because of the Mafia crime syndicates, Gangs and the Democrats. Lisa is telling the absolute truth of Las Vegas. it is nothing more than beyond truth about this hellish and pure evil city landfill, in fact, the whole entire Las Vegas Metro Area in nothing but a ginormous landfill overflowing with toxic waste and hazardous materials this is highly toxic and highly dangerous to your overall health and well being.

This also includes the suburbs as well, because the suburbs are just as bad as the strip and Downtown and at times, the suburbs have double the evil and criminal activities as both Downtown and the Strip combined.

Same live here since 2009. Don’t like it anymore. Want to sell and live somewhere else in the country. Small community, safe place, nice weather, and good for kids/ family. But my husband doesn’t want to move. Scared about the movement lol! I think the evolution (bad) is not going somewhere else but staying here! Vegas is changing in the bad way!!!! Agree 100%

If you are rich n not an alcoholic or do not have a gambling addiction along with not having to work n live around the large amount of riff raff then Vegas is a Yes. If you aren't in these categories I say find a better, less expensive place to live with less booze n no gambling.

Vegas is a large adult amusement park. Fun to visit and glad I left. It gets obnoxious. Get away before you lose all your money. No. Bargains exist, place is very, very expensive. Town is designed to take your money fast and ruin your health.
