Renter's Guide to Las Vegas
A sprawling desert metropolis with humble beginnings as a ranching outpost, Las Vegas is undoubtedly the largest entertainment hub on the entire West Coast – and possibly even the world. Though nicknamed “Sin City” by outsiders, locals will tell you they have found a delightful assortment of areas in which to carve out a living and call “home”.
Located on the southern tip of the Nevadan border, Las Vegas is the largest city in the state, though only slightly larger than Reno and nearby Henderson. Las Vegas is 270 miles west of the Grand Canyon’s natural splendor, and 265 miles east from all that California has to enjoy.
The Las Vegas climate matches that of the Nevada desert regions; the majority of days are warm and sunny with a dry heat that’s great for exploring the outdoors. Summers (June-August) in the desert average 88 F with some exceedingly hot and rainy days tapering off into much cooler nights. Springs (March-May) average 65 F with variable “rogue weeks” of unseasonably hot or cold weather, and autumns are much the same, averaging 68 F.

Living in Las Vegas
Warm weather, no income tax, and the country’s best entertainment are just three reasons why you should move to Las Vegas. A relatively limited job market and the lack of a community feel, however, can be two negatives of living in Las Vegas, NV for some.
Due to its inexpensive dining and abundance of entertainment, Las Vegas was named the best place to retire by MoneyJournal.com in 2014. Las Vegas receives visitors from all around the world, making it one of the most culturally diverse areas in the United States.
Things to do in Las Vegas
Couples attractions include the many Las Vegas casinos such as the legendary MGM Grand on the south end of the Strip; The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas across the Strip from Planet Hollywood; the romantic Italian-themed Gondola Rides at the Venetian; or The Flamingo Las Vegas - the oldest resort on the Strip still in operation. The grassy knolls and ponds of Floyd Lamb State Park make it one of the most beautiful places in Las Vegas.
Aside from the many Las Vegas casinos and luxury resorts, other cultural attractions & points of interest include the Mob Museum, which educates its visitors on the turbulent history of Nevada law enforcement, and the Wax Museum, which allows attendees to “get up close and personal” to life-sized replicas of famous cultural icons. Don’t forget to grab a bite at the Lotus of Siam, a Thai restaurant on the Strip since 1999, or grab drinks at the Tiki Room for an even more exotic motif.
If you are looking for things to do with kids, Las Vegas has the Wet N Wild waterpark, or Adventuredome, America’s largest indoor amusement park. Similarly, GameWorks has over 45 thousand square feet of entertainment, including the world’s tallest rock climbing wall, multiple eateries, and full-sized arcades.

Nevada tenants are legally allowed to withhold rent until critical repairs have been made by their landlord. They may also hire a repairman themselves and deduct the cost from their rent.
If you are moving to Las Vegas from California, be aware that Las Vegas is a driving city.

If you are moving to Las Vegas from New York and want something that has the look and feel of back home, then the Strip or downtown Vegas are the best areas for you.
