I was hoping someone would chime in on what they like/love/dislike/hate about living in Vegas. And what parts of town are good to live in (ie, buy a house). I have been there a bunch, but never really outside the strip besides Lake Mead (me and a bunch of friends go on a houseboat trip there every year). The biggest thing that Vegas has over the Bay and LA, is the cost of living is much lower (mainly to buy real estate, but also taxes and such). And this would probably be the thing that would swing me, if I did decide on Vegas. Though, I do think it would be awesome to have a condo/townhouse in Santa Monica near the beach.
