Wow...talk about ignorant comments.

1. We're webmasters. We work in the day, inside of air conditioned buildings. Who cares about the heat? When we are outside, it's a dry heat, and the day can be spent by the pool relaxing or at the lake in a boat or on Jet Skis.

2. The only place where crime is bad is in the inner city, as it is with any other place. However, I live in an amazing neighborhood, I know all my neighbors, and going to the store at 3am or to an ATM isn't a worry. Of any big city, I feel the safest by far. Just stay in the suburbs, and you're fine.

3. How is the cost of living higher here than anywhere else? If you've been to LA, NY or any other large cities, you'll really find out what high prices are. As people have said, locals stay far away from the strip. Of course everything is inflated on the strip. It's a tourist trap.

I am a Vegas native and I can honestly say that I don't ever see myself leaving. I have spent long durations in other cities, and in my eyex, none compare.

I love the tax benefits, the 24 hour convenience, the fact that friends love to come here to visit, that most bands/tours stop through here, that the cost of living is low, that people have jobs here (that helps keep the crime rate lower), that snowboarding is about an hour away as is the lake in the summer. Aside from all of that, the traffic is not bad and we're not far at all from LA if I feel like a beach getaway.
