Houses/Neighborhoods where to live in Vegas?

[OrangeHeat]

So I get out to go to work today and my brain freezes in the -15 degree weather here in lovely upstate NY. I go back in the warm house and say to the wife "that's it - we are moving to Vegas".

Seriously we have been considering this for awhile as I have relatives there and she has relatives in Phoenix. This weather has made my mind up - no I am dead serious - really it has.

My question is on housing etc... What are the good areas to live? Those to avoid? How much roughly for a 4 BR, 2 bath house with 2 car garage?

Yes I would be quitting my job etc... no poker will not be my source of income just a supplement. We really just need to get to a warm climate and we love Vegas - plus the grandparents will be more likely to visit as they already go there three times a year.

We won't be going right away - but hopefully by next winter or shortly thereafter.

Thanks,

Orange
