SIN SEX GAMBLEING and WHAT GOES ON IN VEGAS STAYS IN VEGAS
I lived in Vegas for several years and have spent much time outside of that working there. I wasn't into hunting back then but hunting in northern Nevada has been quite enjoyable and I've been able to get a resident tag for something every year besides my first year applying. I wouldn't be surprised if there were decent upland opportunities within an hour of LV.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.
I did many TDYs there - Red Flag, Green Flag, Weapons School, etc.- often back-to-back from 1992 to 1996.I've stayed there for training at Nellis AFB
Thanks I appreciate it!I lived in Vegas for several years and have spent much time outside of that working there.

Things people haven't mentioned:
Fantastic hiking year round. In the summer you need to gain elevation to escape the heat (Mt Charleston is close) or go very early in the morning. Besides that the weather is very nice.
World class rock climbing of all disciplines- sport, bouldering, big wall.
Great canyoneering around Lake Mead.
Quality recreational shooting in the desert and organized ranges. I just went down to the boulder city complex for a 2 day pistol course in January, quite the setup they have there.
Some of the best food on the planet, both on the strip (pricey) and off the strip.
Decent mountain biking and 4x4/ORV terrain.
I liked living there much more than I thought I would. Happy to answer more specific questions if I can.
Update, I've been able to get a resident tag every year except my first year and this yearThanks I appreciate it!
Sorry to hear that bud.Update, I've been able to get a resident tag every year except my first year and this year

Let me know tell you, its hours from everything that has to do with the great outdoors. The summers are too hot to camp anywhere close to Vegas. The water taste like Lake Mead if you like that taste. Just so you know, my son still lives there and he is thinking of moving back north soon too.
