I live on the west side of town in Summerlin. I go weeks at a time without thinking about “the strip” or the slightest hint of cigarette smoke.
I knew someone who moved to Vegas and they moved into some apartments just east of the strip. They left shortly afterwards with a bad impression of Vegas. I would too if that was all I knew…
We might go to the strip 1-3 times a year. Usually for a concert or a basketball or football game. If family comes to town and wants to go to the strip, they can go alone…
Vegas is not unlike much of Arizona, aside from the strip.
