City of Las Vegas

I just wonder why this reproachable city administration has so much contempt for its visitors (that pump BILLIONS of dollars into the local economy every year) that it can’t figure out a cheap, efficient way to transport them from the airport to the Strip (which is RIGHT NEXT TO THE AIRPORT, BTW) or to downtown. IOW, getting around is way harder and more expensive than it should be.
Shame on you.

Gotta love Vegas. So much to do even if you don’t gamble. The streets can be a bit dirty but with some many tourists it would be hard to keep up maintenance. The traffic does suck major. They seem to be attempting to improve it however. Can stop visiting this place.

My Las Vegas es diferente. I learned early on that we were the people no one minds waiting on them and serving them on the Strip, but who they’d never want to live next door to. My dad is a chef at one of the most expensive restaurants on the Strip. But it’s not his name on the menus. He couldn’t even afford to dine on the food he prepares every day. My mom is a housekeeping supervisor at one of the pricier hotels. She disipidated the myth of Vegas luxury for me. How many people don’t know how to use a toilet? How many rooms get trashed each night? We’re the kind of people who are fine as long as we do our jobs, and stay in our place. The looks, the local politics, the broken window policing, the point comes across all too clearly.
But like I said, mi Las Vegas is different. Rafael Rivera and Antonio Armijo named the valley Las Vegas in 1829. But that was after Pedro Font renamed the Sierra Nevada mountains in 1776, which lent their name to our state. Had he not done it, our state would have been called Santa Cruz, the prior name of the mountains and surrounding territory given by Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo in 1542. Tell me again how Las Vegas was founded by white people in 1911?
My Las Vegas is the barrio. As far away as you can get from sheltered suburban McMansions and desert landscaping, Starbucks and designer cupcakes, yoga and fixed rate mortgage payments, rotting away at the end of it all sheltered behind walls not meant to keep you safe but ignorant of the world around you, of yourself and your exponential self realization. Never giving la raza cosmica a chance to be born.
Mi Las Vegas es la vida loca. The wild west, an uncontrolled place playing by its own rules. The quiet violence of segregation and isolation. A third way out between la torcida y la muerte. The barrio experience. It was the cholo homeboy who first walked the walk and talked the talk trying to make sense of it all. Reclaiming an innocence lost.
You never saw the Las Vegas behind the walls you built. The psychological, social, economic, cultural, political, physical barriers between us. Never saw where Las Vegas ends and Sin City begins.
Cruising down Eastern (what should have been Cesar Chavez) in a low low bumping oldies. Fcuk XS and Omnia we got El Dorado y El Sinaloense, Arriba el Norte, La Rosada for cumbia and plenty of bachata and reggaeton in North Town y el Thunderbird. Broadacres. Hip Hop Roots. AHAT TV. Fiestas Patrias en Freedom Park. Dia de los Muertos. Posadas y champurrado. Latino Youth Soccer League. Lorenzi Park BBQs. El Museo Hispano y sus eventos. Las Botanicas. Sundays at La Palapa. Paletero man. Oaxacan tamale lady. 28 LxL VSC WF Naked City tears, once upon a time fuiste pachuco. Undrgrnd Kings. Streets I’m not afraid to walk down. La Muerte y el Diablito. I could be a Malinche and live like you, imitate you, and say it was all a dream. But I chose something else. Faded AF on top of Bonanza Hill, literally flying without wings, Las Vegas, Aztlan at our feet.

Any city that allows people to smoke indoors in the 21^st century is a backwards place with no common sense and no care for the health or well being of it’s inhabitants or visitors. Las Vegas is ugly. soulless and phony. A horrible garbage patch dirt box on the desert floor. Yuck!

Not just a destination for tourists but it’s also a place where people can retire.

Thank You For The Fun, Vegas!
SITREP
From buffet-​o-​ramas and poolside service, to night-​time clubbing and exotic shows, Las Vegas has it all!
THE SETUP
After highly monitored & controlled visits with my parents as a teen, I FINALLY got to hit Vegas on my own in 2003.
* VIVA LAS VEGAS! When I hit my first Viva Las Vegas, these tend to center around the Gold Coast Hotel & Casino and The Orleans. And this has been a continually great time for Rockabilly Bands & Swing-​Dancing Fun, that keep coming back every couple/​few years or so.
* CIRQUE DU SOLEIL! Amazing themes, with eight (8) resident shows now, including Zumanity, O, Mystere, all fantastic! I see they also have a show I have not caught yet: Zarkana! Looks like another trip to Vegas is coming up! (Before year’s ends? We shall see!)
YSB 2012!
Yet I shan’t forget Unilocal Spring Break (YSB) 2012 — VEGAS! This was the event that first put the wild 4-​day Unilocal Weekends on the map. YSBs have now been in New Orleans (2013), Nashville (2014), Ft. Lauderdale (2015) and will be next year in San Diego (2016). There’s also been the Unilocal 10-​Year Anniversary 4-​Day Weekend 2014. And the wildly successful Unilocal’s Tahoe Getaway — Oct 2015.
Yet I can not be forgotten that the 4-​Day Weekend Unilocal events started here in Vegas!
THE LOWDOWN
I’m coming back! Yeah, Baby, Yeah!

Las Vegas is easily one of the greatest cities in the world. Often times with tourists who never leave the Strip, it can be an illusion that the only thing the city offers is a place to party. This is not true, however. It offers amazing restaurants as well, beautiful suburbs, scenic trails, breathtaking sunsets, Red Rock, Mt. Charleston, golf, The Smith Center, and many more! If you are a tourist to this magnificent city, I urge you to leave The Strip and explore! You never know what you may find and I guarantee it will be worth your trip!

Las Vegas is the place where people leave all of their problems behind. Gambling, drinking, sex is what you’re probably doing when visiting Vegas. Their motto «What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas», Well not in my case.
My father a good hard working man was a resident of N. Las Vegas for 8 years and was well known in the security alarm industry. On July 12, 2015 a reckless drunk driver going about 90 mph ran two red lights killing my father and a correctional officer. My father and the other innocent man was the 99^th and 100^th DUI killing in Vegas at that time. Several more innocent people have died due to drunk drivers since then. Do I think this review will change the law, No but I do want to shed light on this big problem that’s going on.
After grieving the loss of my father I get a call from the DA (district attorney) telling me the man who was responsible for this was only going to get 8 years. Yes you heard me right 8 years for killing two people. I found out that’s about as much time you get in Vegas for a DUI case. That’s why it happens so often. It’s a slap on the hand and Vegas residents know this. I shouldn’t be too appalled since this is Party town USA but I do think if you guys are going to promote drinking except the consequences and make stiffer laws against the DUI drivers. It’s so surreal watching the news and seeing my father’s face on there knowing he died a horrible death. Multiple blunt force trauma is what they told me.
I feel there is injustice in my dads case especially since the guy who killed my father posted pics on his Facebook page of him drinking just hours before doing what he did and in just 8 years he can get out and do it all over again. Las Vegas you truly are the city of sin.

Empty soulless desert dirt box. This city has everything for sale and not much of actual value. The psychology that went into designing and executing this all consuming money trap is as impressive as it is pernicious. You can do everything under one roof if you like, everything except improve your humanity. If you have a soul or a brain I recommend never visiting this garbage city.

So hot in summer you need to take enough water, but I would prefer the summer, because it is also hot in the evening and when the sun is gone it is warm and you can easily go to see the shows. More than the strip is for me not interesting in las vegas, but the strip you definitely need to see.

For my 500^th review, I needed to write a review that will really be fun and reflect the atmosphere in my life currently.
Seeing that I just came back from Vegas 2 weeks ago and I’m about to head out again in 3 days, I knew that Sin City was just the one!
This upcoming trip will be my 4^th visit to Vegas. I didn’t think it would be a city that I would fall in love with, but it’s really hard not to.
My first trip to Vegas was in 2013. I booked a trip because I was going to the Electric Daisy Carnival, also known as EDC, also known as bunch-of-‘ravers’-wearing-tutus-and-getting-fucked-up-to-sellout-DJ’s. I didn’t want my first trip to Vegas to only be about EDC, so Kyle H. and I booked a six day ALL VEGAS inclusive trip.
The first three days, we did classic Vegas. We drank all day and all night (and in public of course), we gambled our measly paychecks away, we ate at The Wynn Buffet (best vegan options!), we went to see Cirque Du Soleil (The Beatles Love!), we went to pool parties (Encore Beach Club), we walked the strip to see the Fountains of Bellagio & The Mirage Volcano.
The last three days, we partied until the sunrise at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway, home of EDC.
Needless to say, we did not sleep much, our diet wasn’t very… nutritious, and we were braindead by Day 6. Did I mention we also drove? Yeah…10 hour drive back to San Jose was not fun.
That Vegas trip was so crazy, it took me an entire year to recover. I went again the next year with a bunch of girlfriends. It was fun, but was full of drama. *Cue me sitting on a beach chair sipping my Mai Tai watching other girls duke it out* Vegas is apparently where reality show ideas must come from.
I went 2 weeks ago and we did a manageable 3 day trip and it was just so much fun.
In 3 days, I am proud and excited to announce that I will be one of the official performers/​dancers for EDC 2015! I can’t wait to be on stage with world class DJ’s, dancing in front of thousands and thousands of people! It is a dream come true and ONLY Vegas can make it happen!
I love you Vegas… for your
–hot summer heat (Yes! I love it!)
–all day and night drinking (I’m an alcoholic!)
–amazing variety of shows to watch (Cirque Du Soleil can’t be matched)
–pool parties
–gambling (don’t want it in California, nice to have fun here)
–iconic Strip! (get a room with a view-​always!)
–The empire that is Steve Wynn. (and his incredible vegan dining options!)
–constantly reinventing ideas. The Linq High Roller is just an incredible idea with breathtaking views!
I don’t love you for your:
–traffic. ugh.
–disdain for ‘car-​share’ programs like Lyft or Über. The taxis here suck and are overpriced and need competition.
–overpriced drinks. $ 20 for well drinks… NOT ok!
–Prices being different for men vs. women. Even though it *technically* benefits me, I don’t agree with it.
–pushy, lying club promoters. Ew.
–the continued narrowing focus on high end designs and ultra ritzy lifestyle. Old Vegas lifestyle is slowly being pushed out (RIP Riviera).
–your slot machines eating my money too fast. But I guess that’s my fault for playing slot machines to begin with.
But those are small things that are mostly focused on money. Yes, Vegas is not cheap, but hey who said Vegas was suppose to be a budget vacation? I’m going to have fun, and fun I will have!
To anyone going to EDC, watch for me on the big stage! To everyone else, see you on the strip!
Or, you can just stay here on Unilocal and read my Vegas reviews for the next few weeks. ;)
Happy 500^th Review!

Really though. What’s not to like about Vegas???
My sister moved out this way years ago to attend college and well… she never returned. That speaks volumes!!!
Traveling out here every other month or so, it’s really secured itself as being more of a second home to me than a tourist attraction yet I’m seemingly awestruck each time I arrive and look around only to observe some type of new development or building undergoing rehab– construction.
A mere 4 – 5 hour drive (northeast along the 15 freeway) from Los Angeles, not to mention a sneeze of a 45 minute flight… upon making it out, it’s pretty easy to configure just how this place derived it’s «Sin City» alias.
For the love of God… WHAT ISN’T LEGAL HERE!!!
— Gambling. Check.
— Public Intoxication. Check
— Indoor Smoking. Check.
— Prostitution… PENDING.
THIS PLACE HAS TRULY SECURED ITSELF AS BEING AN ADULT’s VIRTUAL PARADISE. Yet the irony is that most of Las Vegas’ locals aren’t even from the town itself. This,…can be a good AND a bad thing.
Despite the «Strip» receiving all of the attention, what negative can be spoken on a constantly evolving place in the desert where millions of cultures can diversify and cohesively mesh?
Most of the restaurants are open 24 hours a day and unlike the town’s disgustingly expensive (overrated) neighbor, California… gas prices here let alone food and housing are all the more affordable deeming this place all the more star worthy as I see it.
Of course the mantra «What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas» tends to attract douchebags and loose women from everywhere. This can make for quite an interesting experience. My advice: PACK YOUR PEPPER SPRAY BEFORE HEADING OUT.
Add the beauty of the mountains and desert sunsets and there you have it: a desert oasis. I truly believe, no matter your age, creed, color, etc., there is TRULY something for everyone in Las Vegas. For those interested in raising a family, there are even «kid friendly» suburban-​like locations ideal for just that.
The only con I can fathom would be the obvious… HEAT. Thereon, it’s the desert. WHAT THE HELL DO YOU EXPECT!!! Stay the heck out of the kitchen unless you’re prepared to get burned — -

The City of Las Vegas is amazing in so many ways! But remember: the Strip is NOT in the City of Las Vegas.
I repeat, the Strip is not actually part of Las Vegas. Everything south of the Stratosphere is non-​Vegas land. Thus, if all you saw was the airport and the Strip, you never really visited Las Vegas. And that is all the more reason to head north and check out Downtown (or west or east too).
Vegas, both city proper and the crazy thing that is the non-​Vegas Strip, have a unique and interesting history. I am forever fascinated by how the city came into being and all the old timey photographs. Did you Vegas was basically founded by Mormons? Vegas really never gets enough credit for just how neat it is. It goes way beyond boozing and gambling. Hint: Check out the Neon Museum, Old Mormon Fort, and/​or Nevada State Museum at Springs Preserve for a glance into Vegas history.
Vegas pretty much offers it all. It’s big city amenities in a suburban neighborhood. And it’s a valley surrounded by pretty mountains as a nice bonus. And, of course, there’s the weather. Personally, I like the heat. So to me, Vegas is an awesome place to live as well as visit.
And seriously, if you are just visiting, take some time to get into the actual City of Las Vegas. You won’t be disappointed. There’s a whole world beyond the Strip and it’s full of awesome things.

My second home close to home!
I go home (Vegas) at least 1 – 4 times a year since i turned 21. Never gets old. Always new. Perfect to just get away and just be free whether it be relaxing/​tanning by the pool, partying, site seeing, eating, watch a show, visting a friend, wedding, bachelorette, birthdays, spur of the moment, R&R, S&G, business, etc! its always an enjoyment.
You see and meet so many people from all around the world. I loved these australian group of guys and girls that we met at Marquee. Theyre so friendly — they saved and waited a year for this Vegas trip and i’m over here like — Vegas right now? ok lets go.
Its always a great experience & time in Vegas with my friends new and old. Win or lose.
What happens in Vegas, does NOT stay in Vegas! YOLO!

Las Vegas is a fun place to visit if you’re 21+.
However living here? Bleh. Only live here if you don’t have a family.
Clark County School District sucks for kids and we’re 49^th in the country for quality of education. The only good schools are the magnet schools, or private schools, or schools on the west side of town (Summerlin, where all the rich folk from Beverly Hills come to reside to get away from California taxes).
For the longest time, Las Vegas as a city has no ‘culture’ to speak of aside from the glitz and glam of the hotel strip. Sure there are a few museums and libraries here and there, but not much in terms of enrichment for families who are sick of ‘The Strip’.
Las Vegas was a soul-​less as it could get once you get past the simulacrum of hotels and casinos. Outside of the area, it was all suburb after suburb after suburb of cookie-​cutter houses, and some crack houses on the side of G — D street and downtown/​northeast LV area.
Downtown Las Vegas was completely lacking for the longest time and was subpar compared to the rich downtown centers of bigger cities, such as LA or Chicago. There is a once-​a-​month movement that happens in the downtown area, called ‘First Friday’ that attempts to bring the arts into the city. However, efforts are still dismal considering that downtown LV has been the hotbed for bums, crack houses and cheap gambling for the longest time.
Now that downtown LV has the Smith Center, the place has classed up a bit in the past few years. There is now an effort to bring more of the visual and performing arts into the city, something that was severely lacking (shows on the strip don’t count; we’re talking about classic stuff here like The Nutcracker or going to see a symphony performance of some Beethoven music live).
Growing up here has a kid sucked as there wasn’t much to do under the age of 21. However, living here is cheap compared to other states; just don’t expect a lot of options when it comes to entertainment and recreational activities off the strip. Remember, you’ll be doing this gig for more than a year; I’ve done it for almost a decade and have seen it all.

This is in regards to the Las Vegas Parking Services Office. I recieved a citation today and called. First off the woman on the other side of the phone answered «citation number». what? Cant say hello? I get it your job probably sucks but you dont have to be rude right when you answer.
Anyways I asked her why we had the citation because the ticket has no reason. She snapped back and said there is a reason all right. She said because the registration sticker was expired. I asked «dont you have access to the DMV records? We just ordered it. Its on the way.» She said no we do not have access and thats not my problem.
Really? Stop trying to suck money out of us for stupid shit. I will park my car on private property so that you can stare at my expired sticker and not do anything about it.
#moneyhungryaholes.

«So where are you from originally?»
That’s usually the first question you get when meeting someone for the first time. Most people who live here didn’t start out here. The born & raised crowd is rare, so essentially Vegas is a melting pot. Which is cool, you meet all walks of life here.
Everyone knows it was never my first choice or even my choice at all. And I’ll be blunt, when I moved here from Los Angeles I absolutely hated it. But one thing about Vegas it definitely grows on you. Yes it’s a tourist town, most sought after destinations are. But the upside, there are a limitless amount of things to do and places to eat. And no we don’t all work at casinos or live on the strip. There’s much more to Vegas than you think. As with everything in life, it’s what you make of it.
Pros: It’s very convenient, just about any business you need is open 24 hours. Very helpful when most everyone works the graveyard shift. Everything is about a 20 – 25 minute drive away. Surprisingly lots of parks and bike trails. Not to mention Red Rock Canyon, Lake Mead, Hoover Dam, Mt. Charleston, etc. Not as congested as most major cities and the cost of living is what draws most people here. The «locals discount» is a pretty good perk as well. And I’m sure you already know but the nightlife is second to none. A plethora of nightclubs, day clubs, bars, lounges, shows, festivals, and conventions. As far as entertainment goes, we have it all! :)
Cons: The heat! It can be unbearable, I’m talking about 117 for three days straight. 90 degrees at 3am. It gets to the point where 100 degrees is a good day. We have two seasons here. Summer & Winter. It took me about 3 years to finally adjust. It can reach well below the 20s during the winter so bring your warmest coat and lots of lotion for the extremely dry skin you’ll experience your first year here. And it goes without saying that it is a tourist town so a lot of drunk a-​holes at any given time but that’s easily avoided as long as you steer clear of the strip. Museums are far and few which is a bit disappointing but what you’d expect from a city with the nickname «Sin City».
Adapting here isn’t too difficult. No matter who you are there’s probably something for you. Maybe not everything you want but hey, you can’t have it all. I’ve grown to love my town. I’m sure I won’t end up here but I’m glad to call Vegas home for now. Mostly I’m just grateful for the people I’ve met. They have made all the difference.

M I N U S: one star because I got a nosebleed and there’s no such thing as a ‘no smoking section’.
I | L O V E …: the characters, the history, imagining all this desert has seen, the indigenous tribal energies, the sparkling lights, the glitter, the neon, the feathers, the memories, the weirdness, the tourists, the resorts, the attentive people everywhere you go, the energetic, constant, ²⁴⁄₇ vibe, that says, ”if you’re not tired, we’re not, either.” And most of all, I adore that Las Vegas has a mobile mail truck in the middle of the desert. A real USPS truck with a canopy that scoops up your missives and closes up shop to drive away, like real country people. I’ve got this thing about country people.
L A S | V E G A S … is: Cowboy hats and short skirts, chain-​smoking, cursing grandmothers, beer bellies, Marlboro’s and Virginia Slims, blaring television advertisements, glittering billboards, slot machines dinging, and hooting and hollering, frat boys barking like a dog, and a man who was drunk since 3am yesterday. He lost his room key and can’t remember the number. Families, every nationality, bottle blondes, fake cowgirls, and East Asian girls in barely-​there-​skirts, fake eyelashes, and sky scraper heels. Thumping house /​techno music and songs that were once not techno have now been turned into techno, or bluesy standards sung in karaōke form, and Michael Jackson and The Beatles recreated with Cirque du Soleil, showgirls, feathers, and these plastic neon tubes of alcoholic drinks that you can sip and/​or guzzle all over the property. Cigarettes, cigars and general smoking permitted everywhere, especially near the slot machines. Wash your hands. At the beginning, I couldn’t find a vegetable for the life of me. Everything here is big, greasy, and decadent.
O F F | T H E | S T R I P: For other Nevada adventures, head to the Mojave, National Crime and Law Enforcement Museum (a.k.a. The Mob Museum), the Natural History Museum or the Atomic Testing Museum. You can also join an all-​day tour of Area 51. Explore the Fremont Street Experience. Take the Deuce for easy transport. Or survey the cactus and visit the Shoshone tribal peoples monuments.
T H E | E Y E | I N | T H E | S K Y: You are always being surveilled. Police are not visibly present but if something should occur they suddenly appear to remove the questionable character (s) or quell the disturbance. Cameras are placed surreptitiously all throughout the properties. This goes for the entirety of the Las Vegas ‘Strip’.
F O R | T H O S E | W H O | K N O W: Don’t forget to ‘toke’ your dealer. F O R | T H O S E | W H O | D O N ’ T | K N O W: This has nothing to do with drugs.
G A M B L I N G: The House always wins. Well, except for me on a couple of occasions. All in the spirit of my pistol-​packing granny. Attached to the casino ATMs, there are brochures that say ”When The Fun Stops” to assist those addicted to the dice and cards.
D O N’T | BE | F O O L E D: The mafia and questionable characters do still control some parts and bits of the Strip. More than we know. You can feel it in the energy.
R A N D O M | T H I N G S | I | L E A R N E D: 90% of the trash collected in Las Vegas and Nevada, as a whole, is buried in the desert. Las Vegas, and Nevada, as a whole, is 45^th in the nation, in regards to education. The recycling company owns the landfill, and because of this, Las Vegas has trouble keeping up with recycling hopes set forth by conservationists. You can rent a home for $ 1,200. The predominant religion is Mormonism. You can use Bitcoins on the Strip. Cicadas are the most common critter heard chirping at night. The desert experiences loads of flash flooding. The taxi drivers hate Californians. And in 1950s Nevada, all civilians wore dog tags ”in the event of a nuclear attack.”

Vivaaaaa las Vegaaaaas, Vivaaaaa las Vegaaaas, Viva… VIVAAAAA LAS VEGAAAAAAS !
Et ouais, quand je pense à Vegas je pense à cette chanson mais aussi pêle-​mêle à Elvis, à des lumières de partout, à un parc d’attraction en haut d’une tour, à une ville entièrement animée par des shows, à des casinos, à des mariages minutes, à Brad Pitt, à Robert de Niro, à Bradley Cooper, à voyager dans différentes villes tout en traversant la rue, encore à des lumières partout, à des verres de tailles inhumaines, au M&M’s Store, au fait que ce soit une ville qui soit en plein désert, à Sin City, aux buffets à volonté… Ma liste est longue, mais rien né vaudra la réalité à tout ce que j’ai pu imaginer dans ma tête. On est dans le cliché, plus ou moins réussi, mais on est surtout dans le spectacle !
Vegas, une ville de fous furieux ou je n’ai jamais enchainé les nuits aussi courtes de toute ma vie, parce que… le temps défile. Par principe, le fait de pas avoir d’heure dans les casinos, c’est pas une bonne idée hein ! Mais en sachant que là-​bas un «simple «hôtel devient à musée à entrée gratuite, on a envie de tous les voir, de tout visiter, de tous les comparer. Mais ça, c’est mission impossible ! Tous les hôtels sont uniques en leur genre !
Mais Vegas est également une ville unique, vraiment à faire une fois au moins dans sa vie, ça a aussi un côté qui en jette ! C’est une ville qui fait le show, qui né s’arrete jamais. Ou verrez-​vous un volcan en éruption en pleine ville? A Vegas ! Ou verrez-​vous une guerre des gangs sur un bateau pirate entre les Pussycat Dolls et les 2B3? A Vegas ! Ou verrez-​vous des fontaines danser au rythme de la musique? A Vegaaaaaas ! Vous verrez tout à Vegas ! Ce n’est pas la ville que je préfère aux US, mais on né peut l’éviter lors d’un trip ! Impossible !
Je vous raconterai bien mon séjour, mais vous connaissez l’adage: What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas ;)

We recently just relocated to Las Vegas from California and so far, we are loving it! Everyone is super friendly and helpful and everything is very close by. We also love that many businesses are open late, or even 24 hours; it’s convenient being able to run errands after work.
The desert sky at sunset is bright with orange, pink, and purple and I appreciate the mountainscapes all around us. Breathtakingly beautiful!
Also, we love the frequent community events such as the First Friday’s and the Las Vegas Foodie Fest. Most events are geared towards art, culture, community and food and I can’t be happier!
We are excited to explore and learn more about the area. Las Vegas is a great city to live!

LASSSS VEGASSSSSS.
What can I say about my 4^th home away from home, lol.
I lived here for a good few years back when I was still in elementary, and I’ve had my fair share of memories. In the day, it was always a bit more quiet, at least in my neighborhood it was. The houses were all pretty much the same, if not with a few minor changes here and there.
This is the place for tourists to go and throw away their monies on the casino, hotels, shows, buffets, etc. This is the place where you can find loads of stripper calling cards, and this is the place where you’ll always see flashing lights at night. This is the place where you can awkwardly and unintentionally find porn on the tv in several motels and inns. This is the place where you have to try a Fat Tuesday.
Some places that I recall going to often are Circus Circus, the Sahara, Rio, Mandalay Bay, The Sunset, etc. Loads of places that I cant seem to recall at the moment.
This is the place with THE HOTTEST SUMMERS and the COLDEST WINTERS. Cant stress that enough.
What I didnt like about living here was the school system. Dear gohd, elementary students had year long schools, which meant that I had class on my own birthday in the summer.
Otherwise, you gotta stop by :} Viva Las Vegas!
