It's so crazy just how much both Henderson/Vegas and the entire surrounding areas are growing with newcomers, housing and new hotels/casinos. Just this AM, on local news, a reporter was stating that some 44,000 people are on a Waiting List for Sec.8 and Affordable Housing in Clark County.

Heck, even my SIL (wife's older sister) can't come here anymore due to how much it now costs for a Timeshare stay. Timeshare owner are now hiking up the cost to keep get in the profit that major hotels/casinos are getting for rooms.

Whether we wind up moving up north, or somewhere else, we definitely can't stay living here! And, my wife still won't drive on any freeways here. So, I have to, which is ok.

And didn't everyone in the Las Vegas forum that is how it has been for the last 40 years in Las Vegas? Why do you ask questions and then just ignore what is said and tell us you know better?

We ignored because we had to find out for ourselves. Lake Mead enticed us as well as the 10-day major rodeo, however we have found out different now.

There are people, even on C-D, that ignore comments/suggestions about someplace they are thinking of moving to. People will read the comments/suggestions, but in the long run, they want to find out for themselves, in which we have.

Funny, but there was those in the Jacksonville, Florida forum that told us that boating could be done year around and that hurricanes don't hit Jacksonville. Well, that definitely wasn't true. Hurricane Irma went over us! We were told that boating can be done here year around, but we've definitely seen weather here where boating couldn't be done. Many comments/suggestions are very true, whereas some, not so much.
You actually won't find out everything you need to know until you actually move there. This always happens and it just the way it is no matter how much research you do.

Trust me-You'll start another complaining thread. What you are looking for doesn't exist. This is another disaster waiting to happen

Seems like everyone in America is complaining about something today and we are no different. IOW, if you are looking for me to get defensive, it isn't going to work!
