Why this site?

We are still learning about our adopted home town, and would like to share what we've learned so far. We have found the people friendly, the climate fantastic, and the oddities endearing.

We don't know everything there is to know, but maybe our observations will make your move easier.

As our Las Vegas education continues, and this site grows, we hope to add more useful tidbits of information that you won't find anywhere else.

This is one of the fastest growing areas in the country. One side effect of this influx is once you make the move, it won't take long to meet people who arrived after you.

Perhaps the information here will help you dazzle them with your local knowledge.

Anyway, if you are planning a move, or have recently moved here, feel free to look around. Perhaps you'll learn something, or just have some fun. After all, that's what Las Vegas is all about.

Thanks for visiting.
