I don't think of Las Vegas as a place for much startup culture. But it's cheap to live here: buy a cheap house for the price of two months studio rental in SoCal, no income taxes, and if you can have a business reason like the local print shops then it's a nice business opportunity. And the low rent, I think, (and maybe the sales-to-tourists opportunities) leads to a thriving artist culture that could be convenient to tap into. Of course, that cheap house comes with a mandate for some good locks on doors and windows, keep the car in the garage, never leave the house during Summer months. I guess a hustler might be able to get some Las Vegas Money to "gamble" on their startup to raise some capital, I don't know about that much though.
