Around a dozen books in town and that number is dwindling every day. Betting options are very limited compared to offshore. Only losers will get any action for long.

Housing dollar goes further in Vegas than just about anywhere. Restaurants and clubs are world-class. Retail outlets ubiquitous for miles in every direction. Very convenient to navigate by car; public transportation is poor and you won't walk anywhere except the 2 miles between casino garage and floor. Close to zero culture or intellectual stimulation. Somewhat decent nature options within a few hours. Hot as f ck in the summer, surprisingly frigid in the winter. LVPD loves to shoot people. City is fundamentally a con job and residents behave accordingly, embrace it or perish.
