Yeah I saw Summerlin and Henderson as the desired communities. I don't care for extreme heat but have lived in it for many years.I'll let others who live there chime in - I interviewed for a position in Vegas last year. When I spoke with many members of the medical team there, I heard a similar theme: "Vegas is great! You're x hours from Disney, x hours from skiing, x hours from …". There really wasn't much mentioned about actually living in Vegas besides pick where you live carefully (Henderson, Summerlin, etc), if you have kids may want to consider private school, etc. Do you like extreme heat?
It didn't seem like a great fit for me and my family, but it's a decision you'll obviously have to make for yourself. I chose a position in Montana and my family and I are very happy with the decision.
Yeah I saw that. I really appreciate your insight. Thanks!Nevada does seem to have some awesome hunting opportunities. Another benefit: no state income tax which can be a big swing.
I lived there from 2000 to 2009. It was ok, nothing too exciting, people not necessarily too friendly, I was working way too much but in my spare time I enjoyed four-wheeling and exploring the desert, shooting coyotes, playing some golf. My wife became a drunk and a degenerate gambler (she's sober now for 12 years). I could have done better for her, but was selfish and caught up in my career and my hobbies, so not my favorite time. Made me a much better person on the other side...I was offered a job in Las Vegas and haven't been there for 26 years. I'm wondering what the hunting and fishing is like near there. And the general quality of life.
