I love it here in Vegas.
I'm originally from central Fla., lived in Ft. Lauderdale on the beach in the 1980's, moved to Myrtle Beach, SC on the ocean in 1988, moved to Atlanta in !989, Columbia S.C. in 1990, Orlando Fla in 1991, then the upstate of S.C. from 1993 to 2008 when I moved here to Vegas.
I enjoy it here better than any of the other places I've lived.
I'm looking out my back window right now at beautiful blue skies and surrounded by mountains. It's just gorgeous.
When I want snow I can drive 30 minutes up Mt. Charleston and it's a gorgeous mountain community with ski slopes.
When I want desert, I just drive out of town towards Reno (I'm in the northwest)
When I want "old school" Vegas, I go to Fremont St.
When I want to spend money like a fool, I go to the "new" strip.
When I want to go for a drink any time of day/24 hours a day and maybe gamble...I go over to the Santa Fe Station Casino which is less the 5 minutes from here.
If I want to hang out by water...I drive an hour and a half down to Laughlin, NV and stay at one of the Casino Resorts on that strip right on the Colorado River.
And if I want to go to L.A. it's a short drive and an even faster plane trip.
When I want to go to the ocean, I fly down to Los Cabos in Mexico.
I really enjoy living here. If I move again, it will probably be by the ocean again...preferably down in Mexico or the Caribbean.
