Moving to Vegas....Help Needed!!!

[aggie]

Hello All. I'm moving to Vegas in mid December and need help finding an apartment. I've been to Vegas many times but have never strayed far from the strip and have no idea about the surrounding areas. I need help at least figuring out what areas are best. Here's what's important to me:

-I'd like to spend $800-$1100 / mo on a 1-bedroom spacious apartment
-I'd like to be close to the strip (<10 minute drive prefferable)
-I'd like to live in a decent area....I'd like it to be mostly white / middle class section of town. I don't want to fear for my life when walking around at night
-I'm 25 and single so close proximity to young people would be nice.
-close proximity to shopping would be nice.

Please help me in any way you can. I don't necessarily need specific apartment complexes but general areas, web-sites with more info, or other relavant info would be helpful....

For those of you currently in Vegas, i look forward to seeing you at the tables there. Thanks in advance for the help!

I knew that was coming.....When i moved to Houston after college i accidently moved into an all minority neighborhood (okay, almost all minorities)....Anyway, i felt sort of weird and out of place being the only white guy in the apartment complex. If that makes me a racist than so be it. It was also a little disturbing hearing gunfire at night (the area i moved to was Greens Point affectionately nicknamed 'Guns Point')...Anyway, i have nothing against people that are different than me but i tend to feel more comfortable around white people.

so a simple "upper middle class" neighborhood wouldn't cut it if there are too many minorities around?

well, at least you're honest about it. i'm sure i have white neighbors who are sick to their stomachs that someone like me can afford to live in the luxury apartment next door to them.

nothing wrong with being honest.

somehow if someone says they want to live around white people it's wrong, but if they say they only date red heads it's ok.

Red heads arent a race you tard.

Okay, this is going in the wrong direction. A black or other minority neighbor would not bother me at all. I have many black friends. On a percentage basis though i relate with a higher percentage of white people than with black people. If my tone was racist, i apologize. If a white person says he'd like to live in a 'mostly white' neighborhood it's of course because he's a racist. If a black person wanted to live around other black people i think most would find that perfectly acceptable. I'm tired of that double standard.

This argument in defense of racism always gets me.

I don't know why.
