Anyone live in Las Vegas?

[Betty]

Does anyone here live in the Las Vegas area? We are considering a move to the area... Vegas...Henderson-ish. We would be renters with 2 kids - one graduating high school and one entering.

Anything you can tell me - pro's/con's/wtf's?

We are considering the move as it mean an increase in my husband's salary (enough to actually notice) and, I'm told, a slightly lower cost of living than here in the IE. It would also mean moving during my daughter's senior year in high school - last semester - which very well may be the deal breaker. (and is causing me a stomach ache and anxiety just thinking about it.)

I'm excited and freaking out and well - just looking for a little info on the area.
