There are a lot of great neighborhoods in Vegas. Weather is generally great but hot in the summer. I stay indoors or in the pool or hike in the mountains to stay cool. Very manageable and doesnt' have negative effects like ice storms and having to clean my windshield or just driving on ice.
Great sports are available, Great food is available, Great entertainment is available, outdoor entertainment or other.
I don't gamble.
I find the community at large is generally very christian and interested in being good neighbors.
