Anyone live in Las Vegas?

I lived in Vegas for a bit. It's like SoCal, just REALLY far inland

I didn't live in Henderson though, I was in the Northwest part of the valley, off toward Santa Fe Station. Area was headed downhill when we left, but I did like living there. On the west side of town you wanna stay above Rainbow.

Go only if you have a job waiting, unemployment there is wickedly high. On the bright side, property values have crashed.

There's always something to do, at any hour, great restaurants (even in the more local casinos, and all the usual chains outside of them), you can pretty much navigate all over town by comparing your location to the Stratosphere or the light from the Luxor.

If your daughter graduates from a CA high school, she can go to a UC or CSU as a state resident. Not so if you move her out of state. Can she stay with a relative for her last semester?

I missed your post earlier. Keeping my daughter in school locally is a big issue for me. Not so much for the college angle as she's planning on a community college as her next step - but because this is the first year she's really into it, enjoying herself and doing well. I don't want that to stop.

Instead of getting myself all worked about this I've decided to ignore it. If something comes of it, I'll worry about it then. Thanks for the community info though. I will tuck that away for if I need it.
