At least Vegas is still not too hard for the occasional trips. Better than the east coast or Europe. Still hard to be so far away from loved ones, though. My DD moved to the IE, and I hardly ever see her, and it's only 1 1/2 hrs away.

My father-in-law lived in Henderson. It's just far enough away from downtown to be laid back, but still close enough to easily visit. I could never live there, too hot and hard to garden. I'd go crazy with out my garden.

Good luck to you, I hope all goes well!
