I love the public transportation, and groceries can be ordered online and placed on your kitchen table! The LV people were very nice and friendly! Crime can happen anywhére , so do not carry a purse, and do not wear expensive clothing or jewelry. I am a senior citizen, and have been al over the world, without any problems. I am ready to eliminate any problems, so they read my body language, and they move on. I may buy one of those 56k condos, so

It is now April/2012 and we are still lovin Las Vegas. The cost of living is much lower than in California, food is cheaper, utilities, entertainment, etc. We thought that we would return to Southern California often after we moved here - we haven't been back even once, and have no desire to. This is a fabulous place to live! Well here is another update. It is now April/2012 and we are still lovin Las Vegas.

I have been to other cities and some shut down as early as 6:00p.m. and as late as 12:00 a.m. On top of that great weather and receration when away from the strip.

On top of that great weather and receration when away from the strip.

I've tried the gulf of mexico, was too humid for my liking. I have lived in s. calif. for 3 yrs out at Edwards AFB, and loved the weather. I am alittle worried about crime, looking for a nice apt. that is safe. I am thinking of moving to Las Vegas. I’ve tried the gulf of mexico, was too humid for my liking.

When someone wants to retire to vegas you don't look for a place to live near the strip unless you have the need to gamble hourly. My brother has lived their for 17 yrs. In a senior mobile home park. It is a good place to retire, no state tax, cost of living is 25% cheaper than san diego. the original writer stated he had only been there a few times, so he doesn't know squat.

It is for tourists. And most people living in the country (any states) have to drive to grocery stores. I rarely hear people say they walk to buy groceries. To the original poster,

We have since purchased 10 condos and they are all rented with good tenants. We bought a huge house for us (4,000 sq ft) almost new with $ 170,000 in upgrades. We purchased it for $ 270,000. We have spent the hottest part of the summer in LV (July/August) AND LOVED IT!! We came back to Southern California and put our house up for sale. We live 8 miles from the beach and high on top of a hill. We loved Vegas. The people there were really nice and there is almost no crime in the neighborhood that we are moving to. Where else can you buy inexpensive housing, no state tax, nice weather, nice people, cheap groceries, restaraunts and utilities. This will enable my husband to retire at 53 and we can get out of this rat race here in Southern California. I just wanted to update you since I posted in March/2010.

This is the place to retire to. Tons of things to do even if you do not gamble (I don't but my wife does a little). The quality of medical care is good. Dining is incredible and many of the casinos offer 2 for 1 buffet coupons. The weather is far better than Florida or the Midwest. No snow. It does get hot during the summer months but everything is air conditioned. If you want to just sit back and relax the play the stock market this is a great place. No income tax and no inheritance tax. Think about that if you live in a place like New Jersey. I am semi retired and live up in the Anthem area although not in a retirement community.
