- latj 15y agoWell, warm weather, no state income tax, cheaper real estate but still close to CA... if only it wasnt Vegas. :>
- praxxis 15y agoAs a current resident of Vegas, "warm" might be understating summer temperatures a little :) Everything is air conditioned (and there are 24 hour air conditioning maintenance companies!) so you'll be inside most of the time.
- RobPfeifer 15y agoOne things they're missing is a major university. Not sure that would ever work in Vegas.
- waterside81 15y agoUNLV is pretty big.
- tikhonj 15y agoI suspect he meant "major" in terms of research and reputation more than size. Something to play the same role as Stanford/Berkeley in the Bay Area or MIT/Harvard in Boston.
- randall 15y agoUNLV's major programs, iirc, are hospitality. Lack of tech talent might be a bit frustrating, though it's not exactly the middle of nowhere.
