Great video and thanks to ALL of the wonderful people from California............Vegas has become a suburb of LA!!! :)-

[@TheRealLasVegas]

Don't tell anyone, but I was born in CA. 🤫 Is there a challenge I missed?

[@hermusicsoundsgood]

Its challenges everywhere thats life! This is your opinion everyone should make there own decision. Take into consideration your experience but it will have to be up to each person in the end

[@TheRealLasVegas]

I completely agree! I can share my experience, but everyone has to decide for themselves if a specific city is right for them. Do you currently live in Las Vegas?

[@hermusicsoundsgood]

@@TheRealLasVegas we are moving to the area in 4 -6 mos unless a better opportunity appears else where. Personally I like the diversity in Vegas and the many activities and parks

[@TheRealLasVegas]

How exciting! You'll never run out of activities in Vegas. What areas are you interested in? You can always reach out to me directly at 702-290-3329 or [e-mail] if you have any specific questions.

I hated living in Vegas. Lasted four months and ran back to Los Angeles in 2007. I found Vegas depressing. I finally left Los Angeles, too.

[@TheRealLasVegas]

I'm sorry that was your experience. I've heard it can take a minute to find your footing here. Would you ever give it another try?

[@anonymousgirl799]

@@TheRealLasVegas No, I really didn't like Las Vegas. Not much to do there, and I'm not into gambling. It's either too hot or too cold. The water there is very hard. Just didn't like it. 😕

[@TheRealLasVegas]

@@anonymousgirl799 What a bummer! Where did you eventually land?

[@anonymousgirl799]

@@TheRealLasVegas Port Orange, Florida. Very happy here!!!!

The problem with Las Vegas is all the trash that came here from Los Angeles

[@iLLSHiNEz]

All the Californians have moved here. Food prices are some of the highest in the country. Crime has gone up 90% in some areas. The drivers are reckless and aggressive.

[@TheRealLasVegas]

You definitely have to become a defensive driver in Las Vegas. What have you considered the best part of living in Las Vegas?

[@JK-zo1pd]

Been living in Vegas 45 years. I live in the Summerlin area and love it.

[@TheRealLasVegas]

We’ve been here the same amount of time. What do you love about Summerlin?

Moved from LA to Vegas at the end of 2022. I'd take the traffic here over LA anyday of the week. Some of the things that caught me by surprise is the property tax. I actually pay a little more here than in LA. Finding quality healthcare is another challenge. Also the schools here are overcrowded

[@TheRealLasVegas]

Spending a large majority of your day in the car when traveling in LA feels like a second job. I'm surprised that the property values are similar. Finding quality healthcare has been my goal for the past few years. Naturopathic medicine, chiropractic & acupuncture has been a lifesaver for us. Thank you for watching and sharing your experience. Do you plan to stay in vegas?

[@JK-zo1pd]

How could you possibly be paying more property tax here in Vegas than you did in LA ?

[@michaelellringer5600]

Always under-reported is the gusts of wind that come blowing thru the Vegas Valley carrying that fine silica into your lungs. I lived there 22 years and, having COPD, I was tired of wearing a mask on windy days. Much less wind here in Tucson.

[@TheRealLasVegas]

The dust can get bothersome. What drew you to Las Vegas to begin with?

[@michaelellringer5600]

@@TheRealLasVegas I was in Phoenix for 3 years and there were higher paying job prospects in Vegas. The only thing I miss about Vegas is the cheap air fares, I made 82 trips to Tijuana during that period looking for sin that Sinless City didn't provide. I came from a city as liberal as San Francisco and I was shocked at the conservatism of Mormon-influenced Las Vegas. Proof: When it was ordained there'd be 40 medical marijuana dispensaries in Clark County, remember our flamboyant Mayor Goodman saying on TV: There'll be NO medical marijuana dispensaries in the city of Las Vegas. Ditto for Henderson, even more conservative, and Boulder City and NLV. I wanted to retire in a bluer city and I picked Tucson, the Blue Island of the SW, where even the public buses are free to ride. There are no true blue Democrats in NV or Las Vegas, they're all DINO's.

@@michaelellringer5600 Thank you for sharing your experience.

[@theleomendez]

Great video! I will say, the heat was something I couldn't get used to when living in las vegas. Definitely love our Hawai'i weather for sure.

[@TheRealLasVegas]

It gets easier, but I’d take Hawaii weather. What do you miss about Las Vegas?

[@ChrisChris-yr2mq]

Coming from Northern California, the summer heat in Vegas is no joke, even during the night.

[@michaelellringer5600]

And it can get frigidly cold in Winter, particularly at night.

[@TheRealLasVegas]

So true! How do you alter your routine in the summer?

[@michaelellringer5600]

@@TheRealLasVegas I worked the night shift for 20 years, and I slept during the heat of the day. Retired now, I still sleep all day during the heat of the day, and wake up around 7-8-9pm when the heat if off.

[@TheRealLasVegas]

@@michaelellringer5600 Yes, it can! Did this surprise you when you moved to Las Vegas?

[@michaelellringer5600]

@@TheRealLasVegas The coldest nights is when there is no clouds in the sky. No clouds in the sky, Brrrrr.

State Flower Road Cone

They're always in bloom! Thank you for watching!

[@Chris-hp2gg]

Highly overrated.😂

[@TheRealLasVegas]

What aspect of living in Las Vegas didn't meet your expectations?

[@BarbaraLaster-jk7fo]

Orange Construction Cone

[@TheRealLasVegas]

You are correct! Our lovely state flower is the orange road cones. Lol! What is the state flower where you live?

Purty much vegas is garbage i live here for 44 year's i never see vegas so garbage absolutely garbage

[@TheRealLasVegas]

We've lived here for the same amount of time. I moved here as a kid in 1980. I had a few hard years but eventually found my community, which made all the difference. What would make you change your mind about Vegas?

[@VanlifeNoonan77]

looking at craig’s list , it looks possible to rent a room from a private residence. I am here in Vegas June 24 . Hot 🥵. is that possible to get a rental room for the winter ? from Boston

[@TheRealLasVegas]

Have you tried AirBnB?

[@VanlifeNoonan77]

@@TheRealLasVegas thank you 🙏 , I will take a look 👀 .

[@JohnSmith-io2rl]

Vegas used to be a great place to live until these californians came

[@TheRealLasVegas]

Don't tell anyone, but I was born in California in the 70s. I've lived in Vegas since 1980 and have found through the years that Californians find Vegas a breath of fresh air. Will you keep my secret?
