BigLebowski 0 Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 Hey all, I have just cashed in 5 straight $3 tournies on Stars and was thinking about moving out to Vegas to give it a go. No, seriously though, my company has finally approved me working from home so I am thinking about making my home somewhere other than here (Atlanta). I make the pilgrimage about 5-6 times a year so I am somewhat familiar with the general areas, but not in the lifestyle sense. I know Summerlin is one of the nicer areas, but what are other nice areas and areas to stay away from as well. I can afford a townhouse/condo in the mid 100's (if there is such a thing anymore). I don't mind getting an apartment, but really wouldn't want to spend >800 on a 1 bedroom. I'd take a $500 loft/studio if it was available in a good area.Thanks a bunch everyone.

Jdr999 0 Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 If you want a nice place in Vegas, you need the $.Good places to live are west of the strip, and in Henderson.Bad areas are east and north of the strip.But if you are not willing to spend $800 on a one bedrooom apartment, I suggest you stay in Atlanta.

-HAL9000- 0 Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 The "average" cost for a older condo in LV is $200K obviously this doesn't take into account the newer condo high-rises near the strip that start in the high $500K's for a single bedroom. Win a few more sng's before you make the jump, I know a few people that made the move because of jobs/housing prices etc. just to go broke playing at the casinos. The best kept secret in Vegas is: "if you live in Vegas don't gamble in Vegas." GL if you do move there, just remember to play within your means. Link to post Share on other sites
BigLebowski 0 Posted July 3, 2006 Author Share Posted July 3, 2006 Thanks guys...sorry if you didn't get my sarcasm about the poker. I am sure I would play more live than I do now, but I do not play any other casino games so hopefully I wouldn't pick up any bad habits. Thought I had done a little research and the apt. prices were not out of the ballpark for there. I found several places in Summerlin/Henderson right around that price range, but obviously the majority of them were a bit higher. Is it safe to say any place in Summerlin/Henderson is better than any place east/north of the strip? Link to post Share on other sites
