My biggest complaint about Vegas is the never ending road construction and terrible drivers.

[@red4666]

"the weather is amazing here" is an insane statement to make

[@renocool1558]

Construction, trash, poverty, depression, traffic, outrages fleecing of tourists etc.

[@jenniferdellacalce5617]

I know I'll get some serious hate but here are my reasons for disliking Las Vegas. 1.)The unfriendliness of the locals.I've greeted my neighbors & gotten nothing back but silence & avoidance. 2.)The heat.I don't like the feeling of my skin searing as I step out my front door. 3.)The lack of a diversfiied economy.You got casinos/retail running the entire job market.Education is not valued here. 4.)Education,vegas has been at the rock bottom of it for decades & it's sad there's been no improvement. 5.)The bad drivers/street racing.Many pedestrians/drivers are senselessly killed every year due to a lack of law enforcement patrol & stopping drunk/high drivers from having their licenses revoked & arrested for breaking traffic laws,& when they are caught,it's a judicial slap on the wrist.Just doesn't make sense to me.Those are my reasons,anyway.

I’d personally take the dry heat over humid sticky summers any day. So for anyone coming in from abroad who have experienced the truly sticky summers, the heat here is nothing and that’s coming from me, who will still complain about any heat above 70 degrees. I still go out in black jeans in the summers here, you’ll be fine.

[@jemeljordan-butler4510]

This is an inaccurate statement. 120 degrees with low humidity still cooks your body like brownies.

[@CrimsonLegacy]

​@@jemeljordan-butler4510 120° is rare... In fact that is the RECORD hottest temperature EVER recorded in HISTORY in Vegas. Don't believe me? Check out the climate data on Wikipedia. I've personally been in Vegas and thought out loud "wow, this is a really nice warm day, I wonder what temperature it is... 70°?" I checked... and it was 100°! Your sweat actually serves its intended purpose in a dry climate, where it cools you naturally through evaporative cooling. And this is coming from someone that usually can't stand any heat over 80° here in North Carolina thanks to our humidity. Now, if you want to be more persuasive and accurate/realistic, you could talk about how the mean high temperature recorded daily for the months of both July and August is over 100°, and for June and September, its over 90°. You could argue those temperatures are too crazy to do X and so they limit you because you can't do X, but please dont exaggerate.

True dry heat is better than heat with humidity. But black jeans in 110 degree heat? Nah, that’s just crazy talk.

Lasted 18 months and hated it! Water was so bad made my hair fall out! Lived in Green Valley Ranch, Henderson. Strip malls everywhere, car culture, masterplan communities with no charm. Make sure you have 5,000 sq foot home because you can't leave the house for 4 months with 115 degrees. Worst healthcare system I have ever experienced. Everyone I met regretted leaving California. I've been in Santa Monica, CA for 4 years now and I'll take my 1800 sq ft condo on Ocean Drive over those ugly big box houses in LV.

[@kg4024-z2z]

The apartment managers I talked to said the bus system is good, especially if you want to go to the strip, and the electric bills usually do not exceed $100 a month. Many of the people on the Yelp reviews complain about bugs, but the apartment managers claim that pest control makes this a non-issue. Your thoughts?

Las Vegas kinda reminds me of Honolulu, Hawaii. As far to live there. It's beautiful with spectacular beaches, it's laid-back and things to do. But the cons are, it's very hot and humid, expensive since everything has to be shipped, you're in small islands and of course you're limited what to do, cause as we know it's on the gigantic pacific ocean and nowhere to go as far nearby, and you can get clastaphoic (island fever.) Obviously different from Las Vegas, but the same idea. It's nice and awesome to go for a vacation, but not to live there.

I grew up in Summerlinn. Vegas is really hot. I don’t think people REALLY understand how hot it gets. Vegas also doesn’t have much positive history. Other places have really interesting historical locations or even traditions but Vegas doesn’t care about anything but money to be honest. Great leagues for kids though as far as sports and youth activities. Be ready to meet a ton of really strange parents… I’ll just leave that up for personal interpretation.

the ocean is a 'couple hour drive'? Too hot for summers 15 weeks for me. Urban sprawl is pretty bad, no public trans....the Strip is a tourist ripoff, locals never go near it unless someone visiting. Pluses?, good eating, the desert for the rest of the year. Lake Mead.

[@LasVegasOlgaMoreno]

Happy to help! Please reach out when you’re ready!

[@theyofactor]

The only ways to avoid the heat would be to stay in air conditioning (home, car, casinos, etc.), spend time at the pool, and run your errands in the late afternoon/evening if you can. And when you rent/buy your place, make sure it is not facing the sun.

[@LasVegasOlgaMoreno]

This is really solid advice. If you have a house or apartment that has a lot of windows facing west, the sun can bake your space. Having your windows situated facing north or even east really helps.

Aggressive SPEEDING drivers who break the laws, and locals seem to tolerate this daily are a huge negative. (also, crashes everywhere prove this).

Hopefully the UnCommons will create a “neighborhood” eventually, going beyond a strip mall. There are a lot of uneducated people in Las Vegas, (huge uneducated military presence), 🤷🏼‍♂️🤔🤷🏼‍♂️
