thanx for the info fellas but one serious question.........come on guys is vegas really that bad to live in :shrug: everywhere i read on the net there is negative stuff about moving there (crime is high) i mean how high is it? i'm starting to picture it like madmax :scared can u walk out of the pad without being mugged or shot?? i haven't lived in the best neighbourhoods in los angeles,i've stayed in south central,mid city,van nuys,i mean i doubt its any worse than that and i think if i survived here i'll be ok there,i hope :mj07: Plus if i dont like the place,in a few months or a yr or 2, i'll move to a better place once i know the areas there :shrug:

What about your wife & child? You dont seem concerned for them at all.

A whole lot of I's in your post & not many we's.

LMM,


I have ZERO regrets about moving to Vegas. As for crime & such. All major cities have good and bad neighborhoods. The one you are looking at is crime-ridden & drug infested.

I live in Summerlin, where there is very minimal crime. never an incident in my allotment since I moved here. The reason being, that it is 9 miles from the strip, ( many closer places to the strip to commit crime), and, those types of people can't afford to live near my neighborhood.

Please reconsider your apartment. Please, for your best interest.

I don't care if you chose Summerlin, Henderson, or West Vegas, but please, please , please don't even think about living east of Las Vegas BLVD.

Besides the airport and hardrock, I don't go near the east side. It's better than North Las Vegas, but that's not saying anything.

There are HUNDREDS of rentals out here, and plenty of hotels/motels that offer weekly/monthly rates. Give it a second thought.

I would hate for you to move here to our GREAT city, and get turned off because you live in a toilet in the middle of a crack haven.

If you want unbiased opinions, call a realtor in Las Vegas, and tell them what you want.

Good luck in whatever you decide !

DD, if LMM lived in South Central, Mid City, and
Van Nuys, North Las Vegas would be like
Disneyland :mj07: :142smilie

I lived in Vegas for 2 years, LMM will figure it out
and adjust accordingly. LMM, don't sign a lease
more than 6 months. GL2U :toast:

Kansas City area for who knows how long....
LetsMakeMoney, you got the place near DI and Eastern?

Not a bad location for $600, not real good either.

I rented room for two months few years ago at Eastern and Fremont. Way worse! Even found a broken crack pipe in room. I never had a problem, or saw one...probably lucky

bit further down Eastern at DI is better, with more middle-class type of stores. But $150 more a month and you can do much better, esp where schools are a concern.

You'll find the better spot for you and family after you stay and scope out the scene for a time, and find out where job is.... Hope you didn't sign too long a lease!

LMM, I really don't want to go into detail about
where I worked, where I lived etc, I would but
there are eyes on this site that, you know what
I mean. You will find out in 6 months contacts
for a place to live, job, etc. One thing I observed
the whole time I was there, me and my crew
would go to a local pub and drink frosted mugs
of beer and shoot pool every Friday afternoon
at PT's pub I believe it was close to Las Vegas
Golf Course, and people would come in and cash
their paycheck and play video poker till it was
gone. Don't be one of those. And I know you
won't. What I'm trying to say is, don't get caught
up in why Vegas exists. Cheers bro :toast:

Congrats on the move !! It takes a MAJOR set of cajones to pick up your chit and move to Vegas. A little overwhelming at first, but wouldn't trade it for the world. Lot's of guys would love to be in your position, but can't pull the trigger.

If you need anything , or any help when you get here, please post back in this thread.

if you need ANYTHING at all furniture or appliance wise, the Las Vegas craigslist is a JACKPOT !! Lot's of people go broke and have to leave town, which makes for good deals !!

WELCOME !!
