Nice video. I've lived in Las Vegas for 22 years and make around $55,000 a year as a slot technician. I recently purchased a 2 bed, 2 bath condo with a loan amount of $203,500. I never thought I would be able to buy a place to call home. My payment is going to be about $1,840 a month. As long as you don't have a drinking or gambling problem then you can live a normal life in Las Vegas.

I have lived in LA and also Las Vegas. To me the biggest difference is just how easy it is to live in Las Vegas with much less stress. Everything is close. Going out for the evening a breeze. Going to a sports event or concert: easy. Going to a lake or a walking trail: easy. Its hot in the summer but so are parts of LA and in Vegas everything is air conditioned. What they call "traffic" in Las Vegas is LA at 2 in the morning. Housing costs 1/2. Car registration about the same. Electricity slightly less. Income tax: ZERO!

I just left Las Vegas and it’s a 1000 times better than Los Angeles. Las Vegas is heaven on earth

I've lived in Las Vegas since 2010; and it's been an awesome place for me and my family; also ran a business, and sold it 2019; just recently retired and are packing up to travel abroad with my family; our home will be rented out during our travels; and will definitely missed it. Las Vegas has been a blessing for my family. All the best to everyone!

Besides us all living in casinos, they also think it’s 100 degrees ALL YEAR ROUND. This winter (& your sweater) are proof, it’s been freezing lately.🥶 Great info, great shots, great editing!! 👍🏾

I lived in Vegas back around 2010. Right after the 08 crash.....and it was a shared situation. 4 apartments, your own bed and bathroom but the kitchen was shared. It was nice actually. And the price? $250 a month. Just couldn't beat it.

I’m seriously thinking of relocating to Las Vegas from the Tampa Bay area and have been looking at 2/2 condos online. Your prices there are much lower than here and your monthly maintenance fees and property taxes are clearly ONE HALF of what they are here in Tampa!!……….a very good combination. I’m a real rain hater and can’t wait to get out to Nevada!😁

Another great video Laci! Lots of info! 😇

Great video and even better explaining everything

Your information is Freaking Awesome Dude....

Really good info. Can't wait to call Vegas Home!!

Very helpful and professional. Thank you. I am considering moving next year to retire in Las Vegas. What are the HOAs like in the Sumerlin area?

I just love the confidence

this was very informative looking to leave the bay area next year to move to lv

Your video is very helpful & my dad is moving here (Vegas) from Hawaii soon

I am researching moving to Vegas. I’d either be moving in April or June of 2024 and I’m glad I’ve come across this channel. Hoping to get some insight on job opportunities. I am currently a high School security guard in Wisconsin and love working with the kids. But I’m open to anything as long as I’m able to find other ways to encourage people and the youth to follow their hearts and pursue their passions

Do not rent in Vegas, BUY. Don't go to the strip, eat at home. Food prices in restaurants are Crazy expensive. If you want a burger in any hotel expect to pay over 20 dollars for it. Gas prices are around 4.00 a gallon. Electricity is 144 dollars a month for a 2 BD Condo. HOA is at least 200 a month. If you have a drinking or gambling problem, then stay away.

Thanks for the video. Hit the questions I wanted answers to. I am hoping to move to Vegas in 1-2 years. Hoping as a single person I’m able to afford it.

Excellent video

Thanks for your video, it really helped me to better understand Las Vegas. I'm planning to move there next year in May/June from Hungary to find a better living. I'll try and find a job mainly in IT.

I NEED TO MOVE TO VEGAS ASAP

Any information on first time home buyer ? House verses condo? 😇 Excellent video. Thank you.

I moved to nearby Henderson back in 2019 and I wouldn’t trade it for another place! I’m staying here in Clark County for the long run 😎

Ok, first shout out to you Laci and opening scene Art District / English Hotel!!.. ❤it!…2nd, who doesn’t want to be Laci’s friend?!… 3rd, on average , how long does the beginning to end take? Contacting your office til getting keys.. average .. last what are the 3 top hospitals LV?.. just received my Nevada state license to practice..🎉exciting times Laci! Let’s go!!

Hello Beautiful Las Vegas Gal-Real good, and comprehensive report. When I first came here in 1990-(I share dual residence with Staten Island,N.Y.)-There was about 150-200 thousand people here. Many areas were not developed the way they are now. Las Vegas is now Big City America. With that comes a lot of good, some bad, but mostly positive. I personally love where I live.

Used to just have service jobs. Apartments were cheap, rent was cheap. Better paying jobs moved in and sadly the 2000s changed the city. 1990s Vegas saw city become family friendly

Moving next year can't waitttt

I am planning to move the business to NV, Las Vegas from California. $1,500 - California San Diego 1 Studio 220 Sqft. $1,500 - Nevada Las Vegas 3/2 Bds/2Ba 1,200 Sqft. No State income tax!

You’re awesome

Just moved away from Vegas. My finance wanted to be closer to her family in the middle of no where Nebraska. I miss Vegas so much. Grew up there and I want to go back so badly

Moved out of Vegas after 21 years now in Utah. Making more money then Vegas ever offered, temps here are 95-100. Can enjoy the spring and fall now. Don’t miss Vegas at all after over 2 years

Good job Ms. Laci. So after I FINALLY got approved to move here, I was able to find an apartment for less than half the average rent and my commute to my Downtown Office is about 30 minutes.

Are there any guard gated communities selling condos? What are the areas w the least breakins? I hear summerlin has breakins

Looking to tour some homes in Las Vegas thinking more of Lake Las Vegas do you have any video's on that area. My wife and I will be in the Las Vegs Area next week let me know if we can meet with you and help us understand our options. We are about a year out from relocation

what are costs to own? fl is high

Clark County School District possibly tops the list as one of the worst in the USA!!

May I ask why do you consider buying is better than renting? For example: if one pays 2000 a month for a rental it will take 10years of payments for a 240,000 condo.

I'm contemplating a move to Vegas. I have job offers there and compared to when I lived in San Diego the rent prices are amazing. But I don't have a car and don't plan on having one. Should I rent near my job? (It would be in North Vegas)

I'm thinking about moving to vegas. Can you make videos about home ownership in las vegas?

Sounds like a great place.

Any old school neighborhoods i.e. Mad Men era mid century homes still around?

Thinking about visiting in August, what are temps like? I’m from Texas so we reach triple digits too 😅

I want to go to Las Vegas to make money. Im moving from New Orleans, so I'm no stranger to the heat and party/nightlife. Are the jobs mostly in hospitality like in New Orleans, too?

Planning to move from south Florida to Las Vegas any suggestion is welcome.

I'm definitely moving to Las Vegas

I loved Vegas, Henderson and Boulder City which owned property. Everything sadly changed with the Pandemic .

How about critters like snakes and scorpions are they a problem?

how much does it cost house with a pool with 4 rooms ? and i want very close hose to the city

Schools. Are not great hot in summer and cold in winter but the mountains are close and lake mead find the job first and if u come from a place that has green it is different

Thanks for all the info re: living in Las Vegas you were able to squeeze into your short video. I have no reason to doubt anything you said (never having even been there myself!) EXCEPT just one "little" thing: "Now is a good time to buy" (if I heard you right). Sorry, but IMO, no, it isn't...even if many real estate agents/brokers/mortgage brokers say that also. Now and even 3 months ago when you did this video. JMO though, as I'm not a real estate "expert." Still, no knows where the housing market is going, or what the mortgage interest rate will be in 2-3 years time, but *I* think they will be down big-time, and THAT will be the time to buy. That is, if one can afford to WAIT for a while (as I am doing). Not sure how things will be for SELLERS though (or sellers looking to refinance their high interest rates on their over-priced homes if they bought recently), but for BUYERS things should be clearly better than presently. In MY case, it's not so much the prices of homes now (even though they're over-priced/inflated to a "noticeable" degree!), it's the too-high mortgage interest rate (30-year fixed/$0-down VA loan is 7.027% now). I hope by the time I'm READY to buy -- meaning late 2025/early 2026 -- I WILL be able to find not only a suitable property, but an affordable one as well. Likely in CO (Springs) though...am in "cheaper" TX now "waiting" to see how things are at that point in the future (and working to prepare for the mortgage pre-qualification process). As for car insurance in Las Vegas, the cost was a tad (!) surprising...and I thought TX and CO were bad! ;-) Also, property tax exemptions (if I understand them correctly) for even 100% disabled veterans in NV don't seem very "generous" -- but CO is kind of "cheap" when it comes to their resident vet, too. In TX, we get 100% exemption -- no "pocket-change" discount. BTW, you have a great view from your condo (a bit pricey for me though)! :-) Regards, -- BR

Thank you for doing this. Clearly I cannot afford Las Vegas.

Retired w/ wife. Been there 1/2 times last time in Vegas 2007 - our beloved dogs 15 &17 years passed so we are planning to relocate to West. N.V. would be ideal for real estate/state taxes for us. looking to rent one year before buying - don't want to rush since might be permanent for life. Not looking for neighbors so tract housing is out. are you familiar w/ new or newer homes or LAND W/Acres = 3-5 AC outside the strip 60 miles perimeter? privacy upmost must. Thanks very much Great Info Video AAA+++ NYC

To buy a home in Orange County, California, you need an income of $350,000 a year...

🇺🇸❇⚓🔩♧🥂♧🔩⚓❇🇺🇸.....Las Vegas, Laughlin & Pahrump are on my mind in the future....¿Would you say besides affordability, are good things to come to the LV metro area in the next 10+ years from now?...¡Evening this Sunday night from out east in Charm City check!....

Thanks for posting this. I am now convinced LV is not for me.

Will it be a problem for me if i dont own a car? Can i just walk from one place to another, ive heard that the town isnt that big

I love Vegas my dream is to move there

This video is freaking great and I freaking love her. Unfortunately, the cost of living keeps freaking increasing.

Hi, I'm planning on moving to Vegas this spring. (Early may) . I've never been there as an adult only during a vacation when I was 13. I live in Detroit I work with my fiance and we live in an apartment together too.. my fiance has bad asthma and Detroit weather and air quality is too much for him he's always getting sick. We are both cooks at a restaurant, we want to find a job doing the same there hopefully.

The most shocking number you threw out there was the price of car insurance. That's almost double or more what I'm paying in Western PA

I plan to move there but I’m looking for a rent to own I need a good job opportunity

My wife and I will be going there in December 2024 for vacation to see what winter is like compared to Mass... We want to move there in either 2026 or 2027...

Yea the BOOM came within the last 5 years, I moved to Las Vegas back in 2007 from California,I seen that CALI was on the rent rise back then, and got me and my children up out there.But I must say when we first moved here in 07' u could get a 3 bedroom for $800 Verses Cali 3 bedroom I was paying back then $1395 , life is cool in Vegas but their job market has been the same since I've been here now 16 years, the same jobs hiring over and over, to me is deceptive to people who is moving here 🤔

500sq apt here in LA is about $2500.😢

I’m actually planning on moving to Las Vegas now since my company has a presence there. I live in VA and am tired of living here.

I cnt wait to move to vegas

One thing I don't like about Las Vegas is the Health Care which is NOT that great. We moved here from CA in 2015 when the cost of living was "a LOT less than it is now"! But even tho the cost of living has risen, so far Vegas is still more affordable to live than CAL or ARIZ

Schools are the biggest dictator of where families move. Discuss the schools.

❤❤❤❤

I was born in 1985 and left Las Vegas in 2006 and I still have family live there I was born and raised it's hilarious to me that you said that's the greatest city in the world I live in New York that city is evil darling

Can you get jobs in the healthcare field?

Looking to start the "snowbird" thing leaving Mi. a couple months of the year here (winter time) and possibly retire in Vegas in appr 10 years. We have traveled to Vegas several times a year, family trips, conventions, just for the fun of it. Have really grown to love it over the past 12 years or so.

its getting way to expensive over there ..... plus the lingering ongoing water issues over there that no one wants to talk about

❤

Hey

Everybody in Las Vegas lives in hotel casinos and they never come out because it is too hot outside.

Borat: How much?

I watched the whole thing. This video shows that Vegas is an amazing place compared to California which is now a hell-hole due to rising crime, homeless, cost of living, drug use, etc. Can't wait to call Las Vegas my new home.

Right now its going up in a 45° angle and its unsustainable so it will eventually go down in a 45° angle. 2024 will be a watershed year. It used to be a very cheap place to live

No is not good time to buy house in Las Vegas .Big Bubble.

a

I love living in north las vegas. Taxes and insurance are cheaper and everything is close and easy to get to. I don't venture down to the strip often, maybe once a year but it's a nice change of pace once a year or so. There's nothing I don't love about living here, almost 10 years now

Why would anyone move to Vegas? Housing use to be cheaper, that’s when it was worth considering. Food is not cheap like it used to be .

Vegas is overpriced average one bedroom 1500$ and up don’t forget about your electric bill. And not to mention car insurance is expensive and traffic suck . Let after 12 don’t forget the high crime .

Sin City.

Sorry I mean 1/2 Dozen times.

So, this is a completely factual and OBJECTIVE eval of Vegas? Given by someone who sells houses in Vegas? Oookay...

crime is rampant

Stay out we are full lol

CRIME BAD?? SANCTURAY COUNTY TOO MANY ILLEGALS LIVED IN SPRING VALLEY 8O-90 THINKING OF GOING BACK

Nice video and very informative but please try not to talk too fast. I feel like I’m catching my breath while watching.

Hard PASS on living in Las Vegas. It’s a hotter Mars with casinos. Can’t even finish this vid. Late

You telling people that it's a great time to buy a house. Is a crime. Shame on you

Too much

Vegas Rocks 👍👍

Fast talking

Keep in mind low paying jobs

I found it quite unprofessional how frequently you used the word "freakin" during this short 10 min video.

I lived in Las Vegas twice and loved it. It just has this magical feeling about it. Healthcare left a lot to be desired but i got lucky and found an old Jewish doctor that gave me great treatment. I also found other hospitals that were great. UMC just totally sucked. Las Vegas has one of the best police departments in the country, however there are areas of Las Vegas to avoid because of crime. Found it stranger about not being able to find eggs there. Cost of living seems very high to me but we have the same problem in Florida. I bought a house in Florida just so my grandson could have a place to live. Luckily he found a job not five miles from the house. The neighborhood i bought in isn't the greatest, but i plan on helping to clean it up for the crime issue. I decided to move to Florida about 12 years ago. The deciding factor for me not to move to Vegas again was i foresaw the water shortage from Lake Meade. As for property taxes, Florida also has no state income tax. They also have a homestead law for veterans exempting the first 75k from the value of your domicile home. I am 100% disabled vet so i am 100% exempt from tax on my home. The home i sold last year for $545k i would have been paying about $6500 a year in home taxes but with mt VA exemption i was only responsible for some local taxes which came to $377 a year. I think you should have talked more about the crime rate. Education is one thing i did not like about Las Vegas being you have a year round school system. Makes it very hard to plan a vacation if you have different age school children. I say very hard because with two children more than likely one would be missing classes during a vacation. When i lived there both times i never had a problem finding employment, but then again i am a workaholic and not afraid of work. Last weighing the pro's and cons i have to say i miss Las Vegas, always have and always will.
