#lasvegas #notleavinglasvegas
My son and family lived in Las Vegas for 28 years. Worked their way up thru the school district that they were recently recruited by Clemson University Clemson, SC. They loved Las Vegas, and they did not gamble, but they took advantage of all recreational activities within 200 miles of Las Vegas.
Just moved back to Cali after renting a room in Vegas for a year. Was going back and forth weekly as I kept my weekend job in Cali. Didn't see many insects and never a scorpion. Gf didn't see one in the almost 6 years there. No snakes either but many in Cali. Seen 3 rattler's in NorCal and one hiking below Griffith Observatory right before it reopened long ago.
One of the positives that connects to the opportunities you mentioned is it's exciting there. If you're bored you can hit numerous places that have people out enjoying themselves and that energy can rub off on you both good and bad but it's exciting. =)
I've been in Las Vegas a couple years now, and I have yet to see my first scorpion. I'm near the wash in East Las Vegas, and when it was raining a lot there were bugs in the air -- but normally, not so many.
Some guy had a scorpion in his underwear at the hotel
Move to Vegas 3 years ago after raising 3 children in a small town in Oregon. The airforce drew us to Vegas to be close to Grandkids. The city is crazy busy. So many drunk drivers, hit and runs, t-bones from running red lights. I'm terrified to drive here. Fortunately we moved to Summerlin which is the far West side of Vegas and our community is quiet, however, breakins/robberies have skyrocketed over the past few years, and they're doing it in broad daylight too. The amount of shootings in Vegas, are unbelievable but then again, we came from a small and safe little town in Oregon. Our daughter, sin in law and grandkids are heading back to Oregon and we will be right behind them in a couple of months.
If you like the party scene, I can see the draw. We love the great outdoors and there is a beauty in the desert that I never knew I would ever fall in love with.
The heat here is amazing but we also came from 9 months of cold, cloudy and rainy Oregon so we are literally lizards loving the desert. That is one thing we'll miss as we return to Oregon.....priorities, right 😊?
I cannot imagine raising children here, just way too much drugs and crime. On the upside, we do have some great neighbors. One of them told me to trust no one here. That scared me but I guess I understand it because I'm read that LV has a reputation of being full of scammers. Probably more so down at the strip but who knows.
Interesting that he says insects are a problem; he obviously hasn't lived in Oregon, lol. We love walking our neighborhood at nighttime when the Scorpions are out, with a blacklist and we look for them and squish them. It makes me feel like we're somewhat protecting our 55+ community neighborhood 😅.
My wife and I love living in Vegas! Both late 20’s, no kids, two dogs!
Hell yeah dude!
💯
No matter how hot it gets, it's still better than a 90 degree ultra humid day in Florida!!!! I was in Vegas one time where the temp was 117, and I left my casino cards in the car - I returned to a melted blob of plastic. Live and learn.........had to go get all new cards.
I agree i moved here from Florida panhandle. Way hotter in Florida. And flying roaches in Florida. I dont miss those
Vegas is definitely a unique place. Couldn’t imagine living there. My ex and I would visit multiple times a year up until Covid lockdown. Doesn’t seem the same since
In all reality it's just another city when you live here I moved here in 2016 and live 20min from the strip and we had ent been to the strip in probably 3 or 4 yrs. As a local you learn very quickly to stay away from the strip and Fremont st. Unless you wanna end up with a sign on the end of a freeway🤣🤣
The Californian's took over Vegas and ruined it.
it has actually gotten better, the Vegas strip is not Vegas
Hows house prices
Your water clip was misleading.We use about 145 gallons a day.Last months bill was$45.20
Right!!! From $60 - $800. Talk about exaggeration .
Please talk about how bad Heathcare is here! Not all doctors but the hospitals geeze!
Looking to retire there. Heard health care in Vegas is not so great
Steven, you ROCK. Love your commentaries, very straight and to-the-point.
Would love to live in Vegas. Currently live in the middle of nowhere. Absolutely boring and nothing to do. So many amazing things to see in Vegas.
Ever heard the saying “Never meet your Heros”. Think about it…
Vegas can be boring too. I do trade shows and concerts. We have a busy and slow season.
True. Many locals are very friendly too since they know how bad a rep Vegas gets from visitors about bad experiences
@@LVScooter1 I did that for years as well, summer is very slow and then September hits and your head spins...lol
A las Vegas high school teacher warned me 20 years ago to be very careful who I meet in Las Vegas, more than any other city in America.
Yes, we have been here since 92. A lot of coat tail riders, there are nice people but more often than not, I have run into the types that want to use you for money, a ride, a job, then they get on their feet and ditch you. You can see the look of desperation in their eyes, that shifty look some have. we stay to ourselves now and have our circle of friends pretty small, you have to here.
@@kimwarner1681 good to know. Just moved here
@@Joshdifferent you’re welcome, just be aware
People are the same everywhere
@@Joshdifferent / If you don’t have gamble blood …. you will be OK .
The absolute worst thing about living in Vegas is the constant traffic and construction.
Red light runners
Portland traffic is probably worse
Los Angeles traffic is theee... WORST!!!
I’ve lived in Vegas for 6 years and prior to that I lived in major cities of LA, Miami, Atlanta & Chicago. So what I love about Las Vegas is it is a “small town” but offers all the amenities (actually more) of major cities. There is relatively little traffic, it is easy to get around, housing has gone up but cheaper than other major cities, entertainment is endless, dining options are unlimited and it is a great outdoor area…year around…including the summer.. You do have to figure out the summer months…but as you pointed out…Mt Charleston allows for great outdoor activities. Also…if you have a pool…we are out all day long in the summer, have a swamp cooling fan for our patio and in the shade it is tolerable. The other 9 months are great and I put our fall & spring against anyone. Like most cities…many times your friends are the parents of your kids friends or teammates because you end up spending a lot of time together. Otherwise…you have to work to meet people and I do know our neighbors. Much more than I did in LA or Miami. My wife and I don’t gamble, do drugs or go bar hoping…and know that we need to be responsible if we do drink and are going to be driving. Fortunately we have taxis, Uber & Lyft everywhere. Coming from large cities…I also feel safe in Vegas. Yes there is crime…but there is in every large city. If you want insects…go to the South. We are no comparison to Georgia and Florida. Now the school issue…I have no idea why the testing scores are so low my kids did not go to school here as they were already in college when we moved here. We sent them to private schools in Miami & LA too as public schools were not great either. Not a perfect place…but we love living here
Saying the water is expensive is a joke 😂 I live in Summerlin and don’t pay more than $85. Drugs are everywhere doesn’t mean you’re gonna get hooked as soon as you move here. Blaming cartels for the drugs is like blaming McDonald’s for making you fat. Car insurance isn’t expensive. What are you driving?? Yes, it gets hot here. The schools here aren’t the issue. People need to stop treating schools like daycares. The difference in income more visible here in Las Vegas than other cities. Pay here is low, don’t expect to move here and live in a nice home if you don’t have a skills that demands good pay. You’ll end up on the east side. If you want to work 24/7 and make more here you can also do that.
We have lived here for 3.5 years and absolutely love it. We all have different experiences, thank you for sharing yours. As far as the heat goes, allow me to quote the great Sam Kinison- “ITS THE F$&KING DESERT! WHAT THE HELL DID YOU EXPECT?” ❤️😍
Moved to LV two months ago. We went through about 2 weeks straight of 120 degree weather. I would definitely say 120 degrees in Las Vegas still feels cooler than 90 dgrees humid back home in NY
Exactly this a 89 degrees in south Florida is ten times worse than 110 in dry Vegas
I love Solitude . Friends can get you into trouble
Living in Vegas is like a bipolar fluid person. When its great! Its Awesome! When it goes bad. It sucks!
😊😊😊great video. I came here first time in June of 1965. Visited here 565 times before retiring here almost 4 years ago. I LOVE Las Vegas but you have to learn how to MANAGE Las Vegas!
Well put my friend!
Drugs, drugs, drugs. Big drug culture here. If you live in apartments or condos, you will smell people's bad habits (cigarettes, weed, cigars, and meth--yes, I said meth, which is HUGE problem here). I've moved four times in 1.5 years here. Lived in so-called good areas, like Summerlin. If you have kids or health issues, rent a house. Do not rent an apt/condo, unless you want your kids to inhale that smoke. Probably why kids perform so low here.
There is a shortage of healthcare workers (Vegas area is notoriously low paying), so it can take you MONTHS to get a standard appointment. Waiting lists are a thing. When you finally get an appointment, it's like speed dating. Never experienced anything like it. I moved from GA, where I had the best healthcare, and I'm orginally from Los Angeles.
Car insurance is sky-high because of all the DUIs and bad drivers (mine doubled). The people here are super nice, nicer than the south, but once they hop in their vehicles, all bets are off. Mean, rude, and angry drivers. Easy travel times across city. No real traffic, except near the strip.
Cost of living vs pay doesn't equal out. The jobs here pay significantly lower than ATL/Los Angeles (my points of reference), but the cost of living is just as high and getting close to Los Angles prices.
Steven, thank you for being DIFFERENT!!
My pleasure! I try!
As a 45 year Las Vegas local and someone who's family is from Southern California: The biggest problem most of us have with the majority of people moving here from California is this: DON'T turn Las Vegas into California PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!! Remember why you left California (politics/policies) and enjoy living in Las Vegas the way it is and DON'T VOTE any of the CRAPPPPP in here. Always remember why you left and keep Vegas great!!
exactly
@@Jimevans633 Agreed!!
Las Vegas generates its own all there is is Rock mortar buildings asphalt mountains dirt rocks there's hardly anywhere to get shade it wasn't meant for people to live in a desert
that's nonsense as much of the human population lives in deserts all over the world and always has- think of where jesus came from as one example
Love this city but let me be honest Vegas is and will always be my number 1 vacation destination not a place to reside in for permanent residence 😁
News flash: Las Vegas public schools have always been bad. Not just since weed was legalized. Nevada single biggest industry is gaming and Nevada has the lowest gaming tax rate by far in the U.S. at 6.75%. The public schools have always been underfunded, this is a self inflicted problem. The strip casinos are in unincorporated Clark County, this is not by accident.
The "official" temps for Vegas are bullshit. A lot of people don't realize, they take the official temp at the airport, in the shade. It's not reality. You can travel literally 5min east of the strip and see temps that are 10-15 degrees hotter. And one of the hottest areas in the whole city is typically Flamingo and Boulder Highway. Anyway, I was born and raised in Vegas and even I never got used to the brutal summers. We're outside Nashville now, summers here are nothing compared to the desert. Vegas is a depressing ass place to actually live and survive.
You’d rather have that nasty humidity and bugs than desert heat? My mom and dad are from Tennessee so I’ve spent plenty of time there. It’s awful.
@@holdenc3082 lol... It's hotter in Vegas. It's funny people move to the desert and then try and justify the summer temps as "iTs jUsT a DRy hEaT". Vegas is fckn miserable in summer time.
@Ryan-ds2wx please, humid heat is way worse than dry heat.
@@Jenny8675309songhumid heat worse for sure like New Orleans for example
The official temps are not bullshit. That's how you measure temperature according to meteorological standards.
Now, if you want to say that the official temperature is slightly misleading because it's shade temperature, that's different.
I live in Summerlin, I don't think I could live anywhere else anymore.
Its actually over 40 celsius almost every day for over 3 months and by September you're a bit tired of it. I spend a lot of time in the sun riding my bike and I tan. On average 2-3 hours a day. I just can't be inside. Also, i love going hiking even when its hot its a little cooler in Red Rock which is beautiful and really close.
Only california hood cats will come to vegas and thrive
@@youngkwak9931 why is that..honest question
I remember several years ago my wife and I wanted to find a bar to have a nice quiet beer without machines making a rackety. We asked several bartenders on the strip where to go and were told it doesn't exist.
That’s funny because I do think it’s true. It’s been over 20 years since I lived in Vegas, and damn I think you are correct. I can’t remember a single bar that didn’t have slots. It has to exist but I sure don’t know where it is.
To quote Stevie Ray Vaughan: don’t bother knocking when this house is rocking
you won't find one, sadly...they even have them in the grocery stores and gas stations here. all about gaming and tourism, everything else comes last, even the schools here.
That’s not true, they exist. Just use resources, yelp, google.
You have to go to Boulder City, where they don't have gaming. I love it there. Often, they'll have local events that correlate with Holidays like halloween Valentine's Day. It's like taking a mini vacation there. My husband and I do stay cations there sometimes. Try their ice cream shop and Toto's Mexican restaurant. Vinny's Pizza is really good, too , and there is a Monster Museum that is really fun. It's a nice change of pace from Vegas proper.
I still haven’t meant a scorpion in 4 years.
Are you ever positive?
I’m realistic. Also you didn’t make it to 11 minutes or the end. Next time I suggest you watch all of the video. Go ahead, check out around the 11 minute mark and the end. Come back and ask again.
Thank you for watching. Bless you for commenting. It all helps the channel.
@@NOTLeavingLV I have to admit I was wrong in this case and I apologize. This world is so full of negativity that you could help by putting more positives in your vlogs. It would be refreshing.
@@tlp-googa7752 all good thanks so much for keeping an open mind and have a great weekend!
Nice job but over exaggerated and generalized. The suicide situation is nearly not so grim, and tracks national trends, based on the article you referenced. Much of Vegas is known for having very few insects. I live toward the west and this is the FIRST year in six seeing ANY mosquitos, and very few of any other bugs. Depends where you live. Roaches, yes, most other bugs, no. Same with scorpions--many people have them but many have zero. Crime, by your referenced chart, is up .2% in 4 years which doesn't seem statistically significant. Drunk driving is rampant here, yes, but the idea that 60% of drivers are impaired during any particular timeframe is ridiculous and inflammatory. Hot (for 8 weeks, then beautiful for 10 months), lack of community, terrible schools. And the vice angle is 100% true--if you have vices they will shine to the point of breaking you, guaranteed. Also the health care situation is bad. Good doctors leave.
Most people can't imagine living here because they only know the Strip and Cops Vegas. Dear reader: We don't sleep in the Bellagio fountain and we don't live on Fremont street and you will not be slain like cattle when you enter the valley :) The positives far outweigh the negatives for me.
I’ll be there next week for ten nights with my 70 year old dad
I think that the water shortages are going to be the biggest issue for many. Limited opportunities to garden.
The highest recorded temperature is now 120. Electric bills are ridiculous.
With all the cons about Vegas, we still talk about moving there one day or somewhere closer. It’s cold here in buffalo. Good idea people try it for a month first 👍
I would say you have to give it longer than that to truly get a feel for living here. we have been here since the 90's, it can get under your skin, no real sense of community despite having some very nice neighborhoods. I am from back east and it is normal to know your neighbors or talk sometimes. Here, if someone comes up to you to talk, no matter how nice they come off, they want something. just beware.
@@kimwarner1681 ty excellent advice. Not sure we will ever make the move but I love visiting that’s for sure😊
@@Lisalisa-210 I loved visiting here as well but living here is totally different, lol. It can get under your skin & the fatal accidents every single day is out of control here now. It has upsides but just know our car insurance is sky high & we are great drivers, nothing on our records but you will pay for the party crew here…
Too hot - in summer
too cold - in winter
Vegas

I refer California
That 2pm-5pm heat is something 🥵
Bro is so patronizing and gloomy. Just unsubscribed. Charter schools are less desirable from a teacher perspective. They hire teachers who have had "issues" at CCSD. Best education is directly related to parent involvement, which is by and large very suspect in Clark County public schools.
Yeah. He seems bitter and people who resonate with that in the comments are most likely bitter also. Faux authenticity.If he was thriving, he wouldn't be comolaining.
Auto insurance rate is crazy in Las Vegas. I retired and moved from Honolulu to Las Vegas in March 2023. I shipped my car over here and my auto insurance premium more than doubled. I was paying $530 for 6 months of auto insurance premium in Honolulu. My insurance company of 30 years increased my premium to $1,100, so I changed insurance company. The new company charged me $966.89 for 6 months in July 2023. The new company increased my premium to $1,073.22 in January 2024, and again to $1,361.99 in July 2024. I have not had a ticket, accident, or claim in over 30 years, and my average driving miles in Las Vegas is less than 100 miles per month because I travel out of town to visit friends and families often. Looks like I need to look for a new insurance company again.
@@stolennimbus unfortunately cars are stolen in Las Vegas more than in most states, hence the high rates.
@@stolennimbus I feel like you’re lying. I have two newer Toyotas with full coverage and a CDL. My monthly payment is $220 a month in Las Vegas.
Thanks for keeping it real. Your honesty is appreciated even if some viewers dont like it. Las Vegas is like most cities, good & bad.
Planning on moving from SoCal to retire but we are planning on renting for at least a year before buying.
You never know and don’t want to get stuck!!!
LOL OK so I have been living here for 6 years and have never had a water bill over a $100 and we have a large home with a pool. We spend a lot of time outside hiking lot of places we don't live on the sun. Sorry but your video is all dome and gloom please move back to where ever you came form you just hate it here. The crime and traffic problem and DUI and everything else that happens, happens in all big cities not just Vegas
My water bill this month is $98. No pool.
Biggest mistake I made in my life was moving to Las Vegas life is not normal out here for anyone good place for a vacation but not to permanently reside
And,...you didn't realize that it was different,
be- fore you moved here ??)
@@KevinS702 I guess not I learned my lesson the hard way
@@KevinS702 No? Idiot? How do you know about this without living there yourself.
Aztec Casino adjacent Strat, might be Tijuana @AllOverVegas video 😮 'Whitney' Houston.
People don’t know until they move there. Once you do you find out how stagnant and incompetent this state really is. Majority of low lives.
Working fine for me
People in Vegas needs Jesus!!
It was good … WAS. My family moved here when I was 4 in the 80s. It is unrecognizable and I’m just waiting to get out. I moved to San Antonio for a couple years but that wasn’t my place either. I need to see green and water/rain. I’m over it. Tired of the drunks, drug addicts, hookers, gamblers, homeless miserable people. It’s just gross. There’s a reason Vegas was hell in the Stephen King book The Stand.
Still surprised by how many places still allow smoking...
I think I could make the move & it wouldn't be a big adjustment. I am a California native living in the central valley. We, also, get stupid hot summers & crummy winters. The only thing southern Nevada gets that we don't- I was visiting Las Vegas a few years ago when wind storm kicked up. A brown layer from the desert rose up & everyone w allergies and/or breathing problems ran for the indoors. Me? I dug out my old mask, not because of any virus, but to keep that crap out! Would I still move to LV? Hmm. Yah....I think I might!
I think you're being disingenuous because overall I find Vegas to be a cold city. Sure, there are a few hot months, but if it was hot to the degree you said, people wouldn't need to wear jackets more months than they need to wear shorts and stay inside.
They dont call Vegas SINCITY for nothing
I appreciate this info as I am thinking about moving to Vegas. Maybe I should get an airbnb there for a month and see if that suits me before making a big move.
I would recommend at least six months to get a true feel for living here, one month won't really do it.
@@kimwarner1681😊
I moved here two in a half years ago and I have to agree Vegas is an introverts worst nightmare.
I've been here a little over 3 years and I have introvert friends; they definitely run out of "social battery" quite quickly here.
Many many fond memories of camping at Mt. Charleston!
Good report brother. Thank you.
Nice to see you’re still watching my man.
You can still buy sod at Star nursery
Gotta say never saw it and because of the Mrs I spend way too much time there. I trust you’re right. Thanks for the correction.
Lived in Vegas early 70's. Pretty cool place to live back then. Wanted to move back, but just never happened. I won't think I'd want to live there now. Too much crime, homelessness for me.
People enjoy gambling without an addiction in most cases. They are not addicts for playing slot machines in the grocery store. If you enjoy something and enjoy doing it a lot, this does not make you an addict.
Thanx Steven very informative! Appreciate you we come to Vegas every summer we love the heat but I never really want to live there . The bugs and drugs etc.
I will move to Vegas in 2 years! Can’t wait. I feel soooo alive there
Vegas was good to me after 28 years but now it's time for me to leave. It is so crowded here now. I am a retired porn star who now speaks out against the child trafficking that's going on. Also, because I'm Italian, I was introduced to mobsters that are in the black book. I'm also friends with some police officers. So I have a well rounded view. Bye bye Vegas, but thanks for the few million that I've made here, the house that i've had for over twenty three years, but sold it in 2022 for a nice profit and thanks for the memories. P.S. I'm mostly leaving because of all these Commiefornia people that are here now. See yaaa!!!👋
My son-in-law got a job there in March and my daughter will be moving with the kids next week. I’m not going to say where it is but let’s just say it’s a government job. Vegas is only about 1000 miles from my house and we go twice a year, so it’s not gonna be too bad because we will already be down there for NASCAR. She keeps laughing at me because she thinks it’s warm all the time. And I’m like you’ve been watching us in march down there for years it’s freaking cold.
My taxes went up homeowners insurance went up
Also power, gas, water and everything else I can think of. The middle class has been stomped.
I’ve lived in Las Vegas for 30 years, and you sound like you’re describing some other place and where I live you must be talking about some other state. This is a great place to live separate the heat in the summer.
Been visiting Vegas for 60 years. Enjoy a few days and leave. Some very fun things to see & do. Red Rock Canyon and Valley of the Fire state park for instance. Great, must see, Christmas lights show at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Visit some great museums and some very good restaurants. However, the overall cheesy atmosphere gets old very quickly. Crowds and traffic are beyond ridiculous. We would NEVER live there.....
Good Job Steve ! I see others trying to do the same video after you did yours , which doesn’t seem right. But keep up the good work !
wait who?
@NOTLeavingLV Ruby just did a video talking about things she hates about living in Las Vegas. It wasn't all negative, but it hit a lot of points. I can relate to it all. I lived in Vegas for three months in 2009 and it didn't work out so I left, anyway I've been coming to city for thirty years, so I know most of the valley. Las Vegas is a tough place. It's better to visit and explore the region and be off strip as much as possible, but don't move to the city at least not full time just my two cents
@@ChetDonnelly1985 right. I made this video and then a few other channels did one just after. They all have merit and everything is subjective opinion. Thanks for watching.
Hi Steven. I was in Vegas in July of 2021. While at the mob museum, my phone said it was 119 degrees...while I believe you on the temp, it seems it has gotten hotter then 117...
the advertising temp here gets dumbed down so they don't scare off the tourists, same with the suicides and incidents involving missing / off'd prostitutes at some strip hotels. I used to work in marketing for a strip casino, I would see the security reports because they would confuse my office with security (go figure) they keep it off the news
Steven, you said you're from Calgary, what about the wind in Vegas? I'm thinking of retiring from Southern Alberta to Las Vegas but I'm done with the wind and I've heard Vegas is actually really windy. What are your experiences? Is it windier than Calgary?
Stucco everywhere.. dental offices in every strip mall, vape shops everywhere.. lots of Dodge Chargers and tattoo'd thugs with flat brim hats... what else can you ask for?
Only difference here besides any where else in the SW is the gambling. Lots of places have the heat even hotter, the drugs the drinking and drunk drivers. The crime was far worse in Albuquerque. I could go on, but your being a fear monger.
He's not lying about the heat, I grew up near there. The seasons are: Winter, cold, windy, blowing sand, spring, cold, windy turning to hot windy, blowing sand, summer, HOTTT, like an oven, you WILL spend most of your time indoors in a/c, fall, back to windy, cold, blowing sand. As a kid, my pets were tarantulas, scorpions, lizards & tortoises, & I peaced-outta there ASAP. This was a very accurate & informative video, what doesn't kill ya makes ya stronger.✌🏼
Thanks!
we have lived here since 92 and I have yet to see a scorpion, thank God, but I have seen small lizards. Blue Diamond area is having a scorpion issue, I think from all the developing, maybe , and my husband was military, he did see them on base but nothing in the main parts of town, at least not for us.
Do a video on the burros. Nothing makes me happier than seeing a donkey in the wild. Great video!
I’ve heard that the ground is very toxic still and when you have windstorms it gets in the air is that true?
People are just bad drivers here , sober .
you mentioned the prevalence of palmetto bug in vegas well that's the nice name for the american cockroach!
You should move to south central Wisconsin. Between Beloit and Madison. Close to Chicago, close to Milwaukee.
People are just bad drivers here , sober .
💯‼️
What I like about Vegas is the brutal honesty of the gambling industry. Think you’re smart? Think you’ve got a system to beat the house? They say come at us, because we will send you home with empty pockets.
So what doesn't help with the education system is they do something not every state does, they combine the testing of ESL and english speaking which causes the scores to be lower than some may think. I found this out from my Boss's wife who is a teacher and it also depends a lot on location of where you are, northern area isn't fantastic, it is way better to the south. It is a weird thing in Vegas. So far I've talked to my buddy that been there about 4-5 years so far and hasn't shockingly seen a scorpion at all . I've learned so far to just set aside 20-30 dollars every few weeks and only spend that gambling or none at all. The friendship thing I can see being a major issue, but I was lucky and have a friend and have become close to some communities in the Vegas area. Thanks for another fantastic video.
People around the world seem to be on the move. Californians moving to Vegas, Texas, Florida, etc.
Illegal immigration is happening all over the world.
Seniors are looking for more affordable places to live on social security.
Be careful what you wish for.
This is a great video for those thinking about selling their existing homes and moving to Vegas.
I loved the heat being there
I lived there a year. I liked it. The heat to me was crazy
Every place has problems , Vegas is dry so it doesn’t have the trouble Florida has now since that condo building fell down in Miami …now all condo owners in Florida within three miles of ocean are getting hit by assessments to fix roof or repair older buildings ..foundation ..etc….huuuuuuuuuuuge assessments like six figures '!!!!!!!!!! Vegas doesn’t have that trouble..and these troubles got kicked down the road year after year so there are endless lists of assessments to take care of now that the government has gotten involved..imagine fountain blue standing naked for years ..nice and dry it was able to get finished, that never could have happened with the Florida rain and over all Dampness within three miles of ocean..the ocean devours Florida buildings
The problem with Vegas is it’s like chocolate cake …after awhile it just time to stop and get back to normal life
Encouraged by the scorching heat, you manage to successfully bring the Las Vegas experience to a high boil!
u forgot to mention the very high electricity costs and u need a lot of it to cool
glad you mentioned how transient it is! there are people moving in and out constantly. you'll likely never see most people again.
June 2017 I was in Death Valley and it was 130!!
0:48 they are looking for states that aren't run by crazy liberals, as an Oregonian I can testify to this since I'm trying to get out of here and maybe move to Idaho.
Check back with us in 10 years and tell us what Idaho became….
The cancer is spreading everywhere. 50 years of leftist indoctrination in our schools and media is unfortunately bearing a bumper crop of fruit.
Thank you for being honest!! I picked most of these issues, while visiting the city I ❤️ love!!
I am a subscriber and I do enjoy your video's. 100% of what you speak about is true, our family lived there from '69 through '82. I've been back a few times over the years, it's changed quite a bit. Thanks for sharing!
@@dennisconnolly1 those were the good years.
Hi Steven.
Calgary Alberta is not the coldest get the fax Right
Sure. It’s always sunny and warm except that it snows in September and May sometimes. My only experience is spending 18 years of my life there 😉
Hi there from flushing new York
Start me up
Vegas is a Bipolar town!
Keeping it real. Well done, Steven.
Excellent video! Watched it all the way through. My wife and I have enjoyed visiting Las Vegas for many years. I've fantasized about living there. After watching this video, I'm certain that I do not want to live there.
tks for the info and being so honest thank you
I lived in Tucson for 7 years. Yes, you stay inside and shoot pool and get toasted. You do have to check yourself. Now with youtube you can stay inside. That water cost helped me decide. How do HOA's not have to charge $500.00? Yes Mexico needs to stop the Cartels, but do not want to face reality. Our cities are paying a dear price. Just the other day i was walking in San Diego and saw a young man passed out on a side walk in that weird position that Fentanyl users take. These types are all over, a social disaster. In Tucson to avoid isolation you go to the bar. The Wooden Bucket and Mister Billiards were haunts. Remember the woman who was on a Vegas sidewalk covered in bees who just given up? The medics arrived and she was saved. I am looking for my retirement crib and LV is now off the list. Pot shops on every street corner are also very bad for society. P.S., my great love is a nice Mexican woman and i am not against people's heritage, but people need to call it as it is and to do otherwise is not equality. A friend who has a house in LV goes hunting for scorpians
in his back yard which can be full of them. Thanks for your honesty!
How do you feel about the upcoming Las Vegas Athletics??????????
