move to Las Vegas? thoughts?

[downpour11]

the tweakers and crime is one of the reasons i want to move there. i have 2 alarms on my runner. one is a backup. if my battery is disconnected it turns on. put that on being i live 2 hrs from mexico.

but i want to be in law enforcement. so crime and tweakers just means ill have something to do all the time.

What makes it any different from Tucson? Tucson is way worse lol

a co-worker of mine told me today that 1 in 7 houses are vacant and for sale in vegas. and 1 in 5 of those are foreclosure.


should buy now. but im going to get an apartment for atleast 6 months. then maybe buy.

Now is a great time to buy a house in Vegas. Just make sure that you plan on being there for about 5 years or so. It's going to take a while for the market to come back to where it was. Anyone that you talk to (that's lived there) will tell you that the first 6 months will make or break you. You spend the first 3 months exploring and partying like a rockstar and the next three dealing with reality and for most….missing their home, friends, and family. I've only been gone from Vegas for a year now and I've seen it in it's best and in it's worst….Good luck! imp:

i agree. but i wouldnt be able to speak to 80% of the people i would be arresting. in vegas, its only going to be like 65% ahahaha. jk

If your young, single, have a job (especially in law enforcement) then go for it. The lake is near by if your into water sports.

If I were to move to Vegas in this stage in my life I would probably end up broke, divorced, and tatooed. I do have a lot of fun when I visit though.

Living in Vegas not so bad

I currently live in Vegas. Vegas is not a great city and if you plan to raise children, look elsewhere. The city itself is not my style since I don't care to gamble. However, it is a fantastic base camp. What I mean by that is, you are centrally located to a lot of great outdoor destinations. Utah, the grand canyon, California (Love the sierras). Also, Mt. Charleston is about 30mins from where I live in Vegas. It's a great place to get away from the summer heat.

Also, quick note. Northwest las vegas is not the crime-ridden area, it's actually one of the nicest and newest parts of town (Centennial Hills, etc.). The Northeast is the bad part of town.

I recommend Henderson or Summerlin as the best areas to live in.

This thread is old. Did he end up moving out there? Personally if I had a choice, I would have went to Colorado myself. Vegas is too touristy.

 

[Trevloc]

no i didnt end up going to vegas. i was originally looking to move to henderson...

but once summer came around here in tucson, and that first 95 degree day... i said F it. and im not moving to another/hotter state. im done with the heat. i might look into colorado but my gf isnt too thrilled with it. she says "everyone moves to denver" kinda thing. hmmmmm.

cali is too damn expensive. otherwise it would be a no brainer haha.

Perfect solution! Just look under the roommate tab on California's Craigslist. You can always trust people you meet on the internet

 

[ogden8]

I have family in Colorado Springs and Aurora, they absolutely love it there.

did you hear about the craigslist guy that shot a 72 year old man at the apartments on ina and mona lisa?

if yes, stop reading... if no... continue.

the 72 yo man replied to an add about buying an ipad, and the guy (early 20's) came to his apartment, shot him, took the money and left. but the cops have had cell phone # and email, and the description. also they took the video from the circle k across the street and has video of him.... what an IDIOT! im pretty sure he is already caught but i cant confirm that.

hes 72... was it really needed to shoot him? you could have just pushed him, plus he probably would have given up the cash with just the gun drawn...

not saying you should rob anyone but people are getting dumber and dumber now days. :jump:

 

[GX4SEVEND]

I hope that robber gets life or the death penalty. Absolutely no reason to shoot and kill and elderly man over an ipad and cash, or for any reason.

he shot him in the shoulder. and hes gonna live to identify the bas****. :biggrin2:
but i do agree the death penalty would still be perfect justice.


the really sad part, is that was one of like 6 shootings tucson had that day. if we go a day without some one being shot, or murdered... we celebrate.

Move up to the PNW. Usually have perfect summers and great snow in the winters. Just have to get used to the months of grey that can drive you slowly insane.

i lived in oregon for 6 months in 2009, and i loved it. i didnt care for the wet gray days at all. but i am not a fan of the police departments there.

maybe ill look into washingtons departments.

Vegas is a place where there’s lots of money to be made and fun to have provided you don’t have an addictive personality. If you do then Vegas will clean you out.

 

[soap94]

i think vegas would be fun for a year. esp if youre young. just do it. i came close to doing that when i was younger and single. so many beautiful girls in vegas and things to do.
my buddies that live there do say it is a tad on the expensive side. get a job at the casino you could prob rake in some cash

There is even a better option for people who think that they will earn a lot of money playing casinos. We're in 21st century, open a test account at any online casino website and give it a try. Maybe, you're lucky enough and you'll win enough money, or you can do it consistently each months. There is no need to go somewhere and take that much risk. I would recommend to start from something like Daftar SBOBET, it is a reliable and simple way

 

[mrblah]

i lived in vegas for 4 years, loved everything about it but one thing.....the weather.


The weather is enough for you to want to move away.

 

[Tuco S.]

Oh I don't know. It's hot here for only about 2 months each year. The other 10 months are pretty much unbeatable. Honestly it's so dry here the 2 hot months don't even phase me anymore, unless it hits 110 or higher. Phoenix weather is 10X worse than Vegas, plus they also have some humidity there.

Pro's for vegas are that there are no allergens. So if you are allergic to trees or pollen...you are suddenly cured! Cons are that there is no water (pay per gallon) and you had better like traffic in the desert.

This is a pretty old thread.

There is lots of pollen here. So no pros!
