Those who moved to Vegas in the last year, is all you hoped it would be?
Main Post:
Edit: Actually meant last 5 years.
Asking as someone who has been here 23 years. Anything that didn't live up to expectations? Anything that exceeded expectations? Anything that surprised you?
Top Comment: Arrived this year. It’s not perfect but I’m finding I’m much happier here than my hometown in the midwest. I’ve made quite a few friends and there’s just so much more to do here than there ever was back home. I also went through a lot of “life changes” alongside my move here so I suppose I can’t attribute all of my happiness to my geographic location but I’m having a good time here.

Top Comment: My friend does professional pool and he told me there’s groups there that specialize in robbery, they watch for winners and follow them. He won a few thousand dollars and later that night a few guy stormed his room, beat him senseless and robbed him of his winnings.
Overall how do you like living in Las Vegas?

I’m from Wisconsin and I’m in the final selection for a job at a TV station in the city. I’m kind of a country boy, but I’m doing lots of research to prepare.
Red Rock Canyon and Lake Mead look awesome. I’ve heard there are nice parks too. What else should I know about, besides the heat?
Top Comment: The dust here is its own animal. Seriously, you could dust every day and the next day it'll be as if you didn't do anything. It's also hard on the sinuses, allergy meds is a year round thing for many people. I love it here, but damn, the dust.
