I'm curious if anyone lives there and what it's like. I'm exploring a great opportunity there but I'm very concerned about living there. This is not a life time appointment but it would 3 - 4 years.
I've been to Vegas many times for conferences and despise the casinos. I would rather go hiking or fishing than hang out on the strip.
Any first hand experience and tips would be appreciated.
My mother lives there. She initially worked in finance at a casino, but has since retired and rarely goes to the strip. Usually just to see me or occasionally for dinner at a casino.
There is a lot to do in the area and short (or long) drives away that include many outdoor recreational activities.
most locals that I know (my sister, aunt and cousin also live there) rarely go to the strip. they have local casinos, restaurants, and retail they usually prefer.
We're empty nesters. My wife travels frequently and works from home so the only requirement for location is proximity to an airport.
Flights are cheap so we'll return once a month. I see a boat on Lake Mead in my future.
I'm going to continue to research it but I think I'm going. My wife is all for it.
let me know when u come out i'll show u around
Maybe, but not enough to realize any significant increase in value in just 3-4 years. He would pay more in fees during the purchase and sell process and may end up under water. Plus, the amount of principal you add in just 3-4 years on a 30 year mortgage is insignificant. So... IMO renting is better in this situation.
Ron if u want to be close to work so be it. I prefer Summerlin for the scenery, topography and must less traffic than the other directions. Google all the areas and do the research. on the highways out here u can get anywhere relatively quickly
