Moving to Las Vegas

As the globally-renowned City of Lights, Las Vegas, Nevada is unlike any other place in the world. In the middle of the Mojave Desert lies a metropolitan area full of flashy entertainment, rich history and one of the most lively tourism scenes in the country. If you’re going to call the Entertainment Capital of the World your home, read up these tips before you move.

The Best Apartments in Las Vegas

Believe it or not, there’s much more to Vegas than the Strip. For a more residential environment than the city, check out the southeastern suburb Henderson. The area has transformed from a small area to a thriving community of over 250,000. On the other side, North Las Vegas has also made a name for itself with planned communities and world-class golf courses. If you’re looking to stay near the action, you might want to find an apartment just a bit south of downtown closer to the University of Nevada, Las Vegas where the Sin City culture is still vibrant.

Las Vegas Statistics – Schools, Crime, Salary, & More

The Clark County School District is the fifth largest school district in the nation, providing plenty of grade school education options and resources. UNLV is also situated in the southern part of the city and is home to a well-known, pro-producing golf program.

If you’re not used to being cautious in an urban setting, the crime rate might lead you to choose a suburb a bit farther from the famous Strip. Living costs are lower than the national average, while the typical salary is just about the national average. This makes finding an apartment in Las Vegas less of a financial burden.

What to Do in Las Vegas

It’s safe to say there is no shortage of entertainment in Vegas. Year-round shows and theaters are always a go-to if you’re not hitting the slot machines. Locals also enjoy countless high-end, well-known restaurants. Three new museums along with a theater and a new City Hall all debuted in 2012, bringing even more life to downtown Las Vegas.
