    One of the updates I was looking for is housing prices. Have they reclined and how much? I’m waiting to see where the rock bottom is.

    o.k i'm just going to be honest here with this =) ...

    I get why others may want to live there, love it whatev's. But I just do not understand the allure of actually wanting to Live in Las Vegas. It's so hot and dry dry. Kinda miserable everything's dead, Dessert. Nothing about the Dessert to me makes me think, "wow I want to go there" lol. Actually if im being honest the only thing I personally even care for about Las Vegas is probably that its where the WSOP is at. And the real, actual Life changing money Tournaments are there. Other then that, and having now been of course I just don't get it. I don't see the beauty, other then its a great place to play poker lol.....

    Given the choice, and ive now lived in Florida 12 or so years now and i'll take the beautiful beach's and Florida all day. Nevada yeah, other then Vegas if that even matters to you isn't very desirable a place seeming to me.

    All good points. I love visiting Vegas and the experience is always a blast. Love staying in a nice hotel room, good food, fun, etc.

    As for living there, I like the idea that there is always stuff to do for the locals. Go out mid-week and hit the pubs or mid level restaurants as they are catering to locals with specials, etc. I also like that you can hit up a non strip casino to find things to do. Also like that you can hit the desert and go shooting or jet skiing on the river or Lake Mead, snow skiing with the rotary dial phone on Mt. Charleston. Add in the visiting main act concerts, more good looking single local women, etc.

    My buddy wants me to relocate to the Phoenix Metro area and I like it as well, but also super hot in the summer. Also lots of good looking single women there too. There really is no draw to go there except the place is nice and close to Laughlin.

    Last weekend, a group of Side x Side riders were riding in the outskirts of Cold Springs. I def want to get a Kawi side by side and enjoy this lifestyle. The best place is Nevada or Arizona for this..



    They also saw some wild horses...



    Retired- What else to do? I rather go out and play the slots or cards on a weekly basis instead of sitting at home and watching TV. I rather have some local Vegas fun over just internet, home tv, etc. The beach, any beach, is nice, but gets old for me.

    This time I'm going for only three days, staying at Harrah's and playing at Venetian. I usually stay longer and do a lot of hiking in the desert and around Red Rocks. Years ago I was living in Albuquerque and I would drive 550 miles to Vegas 3 or 4 times a year, first in a pickup truck camper and then in a 22 foot RV. Stayed in a parking lot just behind Binions. Every 3rd or 4th night I'd stay at Circus Circus camp ground to fill up the tanks
    and charge the batteries. They never changed the combination on the showers so I could just walk in and take a shower every day even when I wasn't staying there.

    I actually love the hot dry desert. And if you think there's no life out there you might be surprised. If you just sit quietly for awhile you'll see all kinds of stuff, big and small. I lived in Florida during high school and it was great then, best time of my life actually, but now I would prefer the calm and serenity of the desert. No! you certainly don't have that in Vegas, but you can get there pretty quick.

    Asking for an update on the current housing market there- Cooling off, staying the same. I keep assuming the market is cooling and making homes more appealing. Any insight? Thanks

    "When the mortgage rates go up as much as they have, the real estate market would dump, the prices would go down. The problem is because the rates are so high, nobody is actually selling their home.

    So there is nothing on the market. So there's nothing on the market and there is nobody looking to buy. And so the prices just remain exactly what they were before.

    Meaning that because there is so little inventory, the prices are still really high, even though the mortgage rates are really high, it just means the entire market has gotten a lot smaller. And the amount of turnover in the housing market has shrunk dramatically." - Ben Shapiro

    Las Vegas is one of the best places in the world for a gambler that knows how to turn a consistent profit.

    Is there a publicly available Ben Shapiro to English text generator? You know, for those of us who aren’t on the spectrum.

    You are the first outlet where I’ve seen some of what he is saying. Cause I just can’t otherwise

    Had to share this-

    Las Vegas- Lowden Lane: 2002 and Now. Expansion of the 95 required eminent domain and several homes had to go.
