Bluebird -> RE: Thinking about relocating to Las Vegas (9/11/2007 7:55:48 PM)

Can't help you with finding a sub lady - you are on your own there! As far as cost-of-living, we are almost exactly middle of the road - nowhere near as expensive as CA or HI, a good deal more expensive than IA or NE. Housing is relatively affordable, the bubble has pretty much burst. Property taxes are quite low, and we have no personal income tax. Gas - well, that's bad here, but it pretty much is everywhere. Electric rates are horrible due to the desperate need for A/C. Food - about middle of the road, but keep in mind you will never get a good tomato or ear of corn here - no farm stands like New England! We have a lot of entertainment options, of course, with special deals for locals if you know where to look, and wonderful restaurants. And pretty much everything is open 24/7, a bonus if you are a night owl type of person. The job market is booming, but you have to be willing to put in your dues to prove to an employer you plan to stay. If you are either independently wealthy (best option!) or willing to work hard, it is a great place to live. Oh yeah, and it gets HOT in summer - but you will no longer need a crowbar to smash ice out of your driveway! [:D]
