What Makes Mesquite the Fastest Growing City in Nevada?

[@Cwo30]

Retired form the Army and Moved to Mesquite 2 months ago and absolutely LOVE it here!

[@RuralRoadtripper]

It’s a nice looking little town!

[@jeffreywonser3241]

We're looking at building there and have been to town several times. Neat little town! We like that!

[@sweetkandee1582]

Is there a lot of Veterans there, and how is the DAV or Legion?

[@Cwo30]

@@sweetkandee1582There are a lot of Veterans here and there is a Vet Center shared by VFW, American Legion and the other vets organizations. It’s very small with no bar. They said they can’t compete with the casinos in town when it comes running/staffing a bar. Not a lot of members because of all the Snowbird Vets that leave in the summer. The majority of the Snowbird Vets have their memberships through the posts they go back to in the summer.

Island best football ever I could feel that vibe that’s why I’m very respectful and enjoying the area

I LOVE MESQUITE

I LOVE MISQUITE NEVADA!!!!

Used to work at a casino here in 1990, but lived in St. George

[@RuralRoadtripper]

Nice!

[@northerngunner2756]

Looked at possibly buying property to build a home in mesquite but most of the undeveloped property was owned by large developers .

[@RuralRoadtripper]

That’s the case with most growing communities in Nevada, unfortunately.

[@northerngunner2756]

@@RuralRoadtripper agreed.

[@kevinpatrick5162]

Those developers are known as the mafia to the rest of the world. I'd stay away from it.

[@luperamos7307]

It's very expensive compared to what it is. I just always like to stay there on my way to Utah. But it's just a super hot, dry desert that doesnt have the infrastructure Vegas has. Should be way cheaper for what it is.

[@rodneyvoshell9296]

@@luperamos7307 well maybe people aren’t getting murdered every day or innocent kids being killed by a hit and run. Las Vegas is extremely overrated and overhyped and the attitude of the town is horrible as it looks down on small towns like they are boring. I’d take boring over being killed or robbed. I feel the crime is unreported also

[@luperamos7307]

@rodneyvoshell9296 But what kids? You can't walk anywhere there or have any good functioning public transport. The only people that might have kids there are the people working these super low wage jobs. Everyone else is retired or is running airbnbs. They have some nice houses there, but nothing someone with kids there could afford.

[@rodneyvoshell9296]

@@luperamos7307 I’m talking about the two hit and runs in last two weeks in Las Vegas that killed 4 kids. Las Vegas is a very dangerous city and I’m actually defending Mesquite . Turn on the news in Vegas and it’s a propaganda bragathon most times

[@luperamos7307]

@@rodneyvoshell9296 I know that Vegas is a dangerous city and I wouldn't want to live there. All I am saying that there is nothing for kids in Mesquite. Either you are there as a retiree or work one of these super low wage jobs. There is simply less infrastructure than in Vegas.

[@rodneyvoshell9296]

Because it’s not Las Vegas. Don’t judge Nevada based on Las Vegas. Similar to compare New York to New York City

[@RuralRoadtripper]

Very true.

[@bmli3350]

Still a piece of dust in the desert if Mesquite house price is close to Las Vegas why go there ? less job opportunity

[@RuralRoadtripper]

Smaller community for retirees not wanting to be in a city environment. I can see why it would have an appeal, but yes, still expensive.

[@genehart261]

If I have to explain...

[@kendrarose4509]

las vegas is a very large area with alot of crime. it’s difficult for people to call vegas home for a long amount of time, especially in the older ages or retirement. there’s also a sense of livelihood in mesquite that you don’t get in vegas. most of the people that live in mesquite have retired so they have no use for jobs, and even then there’s plenty of jobs in mesquite and the surrounding areas.

[@SamS313]

Peace and quiet.

[@rodneyvoshell9296]

Because it’s not Las Vegas where everyday someone is either getting murdered or killed in a hit and run including small kids. And don’t get me started on this stupid Formula one. Yes Mesquite sounds nice.
