Las Vegas: * A very diverse city, demographically. Evenly split gender. Age demographics tend to lean either students (from UNLV) or 30s 40s. * Affordable but lots to do. Amazing entertainment, restaurants, nightlife subsidized by tourists. The restaurants are great even off the strip and 1/3rd the price. Cost of living is 30% cheaper or more than the SF Bay Area for comparison. * It has it's own different scenes for different people, such as the art district, downtown, China Town, Summerlin for families, Henderson for old people * Housing is affordable, $300-400k gets you a 3 BR SFH easily * No state taxes * Lots of outdoors activities, hiking, climbing, even skiing/snowboarding with lifts thanks to Charleston, a 12k ft mountain next to the city * LA is 4 hour drive away if you want a big city or beaches * International airport that will take you anywhere * Recycles 99% of it's water and a great place for generating electricity from the sun Cons: * Lots of gambling and drinking addictions * Car centric. Public transit is more of an after thought. * Lots of wind and it gets really hot June-October * No plants. Just desert and donkeys.

I always thought Las Vegas wouldn't be the worst place to raise a family despite it's reputation as Sin City.

I’ve gone to Vegas a half dozen times for business and conferences. It’s one of the worst places I can imagine. No plants, no walking. Everything is big and loud and obnoxious and expensive. I can’t imagine ever wanting to live there. In fact anyplace I would want to live is basically the binary opposite of Vegas in every way.

  > Everything is big and loud and obnoxious and expensive. This is not the case if you venture off the strip. Summerlin and other parts of Vegas are in many ways completely opposite of what you'll experience on the LV strip. But what you describe is the reputation Vegas has, which is why it's often overlooked as a place to live.
