    Lived in Vegas for a very, very long time.Yes, it has grown a lot since I've been here (miss some of my old haunts) but in a strange way it's still a small town. Flooding was really bad back in the day when Monsoon season hit but the Regional Flood Control has done a fantastic job of building flood control channels throughout the city. Love the mountains especially with nothing built on them & love looking at cars on Sunday without any salesmen at the dealership. It's still relatively cheap to live here especially without state income tax & cheap property taxes. The summers never bothered me. Could be like living in hell during July though. It was the cold winters that took awhile for me to get use to. Still love living here. It's not for everyone. But it fits me & what I like about it: Entertainment, Great Restaurants, A 24 hour town, Close proximity to CA/AZ/UT & Freedom!

    I agree and I thought of moving there but I work for an airline and I can’t see paying $1k plus for an apartment and no way I could buy a house. I actually teach tennis too and do ok with that but I’d have to leave my clientele here in my small town and start over. I don’t like the homelessness and mental illness shown all around the strip but honestly. I do like LV and it seems exciting and I wouldn’t mind being there. Thought of going to beach too because I could get job there but I live so simply where I’m at that it’s hard to leave even though the town kind of sucks! But with free airline flights I just fly if I wanna go somewhere

I can especially relate about the area being behind-the-curve with technology.

    There are some really nice parks with outdoors workout areas covered in shade. If you are a thrift shopper there are amazing goodwills compared to other parts of the country. Most locals don't really go to the strip that much unless you work there... If you live there you basically find your own part of town that becomes your mini town where you will do the majority of your grocery / banking / day to day crap. One thing Vegas did amazing at is the grid street planning. 3 lanes crisscross the whole town with the interstate basically circling on top.. along with a bus system that makes sense - it is a very easy town to get around... even if something crazy happened on the interstate. You can always just get off and find back / side roads. When I visit the East Coast if something happens on the interstate you are screwed.. all the side roads will be single lane, and it is just a bottle neck cluster. That said there always seems to be some kind of annoying construction - but again you can always find an alt route.

    When I lived in Vegas, I was surprised about the amount of gambling the locals do. I had heard that most locals don't gamble but I don't think that is true from my experience. There are gaming machines in 7-11s and grocery stores.. Rodney Dangerfield joked, "Slot machines are everywhere, even the supermarkets, I went into a market yesterday to buy a 6 pack of beer and it cost me $200." You definitely need to be careful because gambling is everywhere; some casinos even cash payroll checks.

He'd sit at a machine and the cashiers didn't care because every time the machine hit he'd tip them out. The machines at convenience stores pay out exactly as often as anywhere else, because it's dictated by the state gaming commission.

    That has to do with Covid. Walmart already had plans of no longer operating any stores 24/7, but then the virus hit so it accelerated the process. Various things factored into this beyond Covid, but the fact that more theft was going on both externally/internally at night played a huge role as well, but also the ability to properly clean/restock the stores when they never closed. Sucks cuz I miss shopping in the late night hours :(

    Legally you have 30 days from the time you move to change your DL. The line was 2 hrs long in 94 when I went to change mine. But it was cool, cuz they printed it and you got it on the spot. Here in TX it takes 3 weeks to get it in the mail.

    @@DuTubeable That's the beauty of the idea. You don't actually DO anything except get business insurance, get an EIN to conduct business, run a few Facebook ads and Google ads and answer the phones and schedule jobs AFTER visiting your local Home Depot and Lowe's parking lots and getting the phone numbers of Clueless Joe's "visitors" who Jen Psaki said "weren't staying long" by promising them 20/hr and offering free breakfast and lunch. After getting the first job take 2 workers and estimate 90 hr to do lawn maintenance like trimming shrubs, weed, then drop pre emergent on the lawn, offer to fertilize on your next visit to create repeat business and give the emergent time to work, like a week or so. Start at 8 AM and finish by 2 PM. You may need to invest in a used crew cab Tacoma or Tundra. That's usually enough time to book 2 or 3 jobs. Once you find a trustworthy worker make him foreman of the first crew and start a second to manage yourself again. Then there's the commercial window washing business (don't do residential, people are weird about their homes), the soft washing business, the box truck business. Good luck.

    Awesome content as usual Jacob! 😎👍 A couple of comments: I think you left out one significant “transplant“ group here in Vegas, pacific islanders in general and Hawaiians in particular. Having spent a lot of time in Hawaii, Hawaiians calling Vegas the “9th island“ is for real and they do shape the culture here 🤙 Another comment I have is about the lateness of Uber/Lyft here. I’m going off of memory but it was an issue I followed closely at the time. As you know, the taxi industry is/was EXTREMELY influential here in town (I believe this is the main reason the monorail doesn’t go to the airport or on to downtown for example) and they fought the ride shares tooth and nail!! I think this definitely contributed to the slowness of them taking hold.

    Great topic Jacob!! Things that surprised me when I moved to Vegas: 1. How much my driver's insurance went up! Close to 'doubled' in cost?!?!! 2. How equivalent jobs pay 'less' in Vegas ?!?!?! It's been a struggle to find equivalent paying jobs, majority of companies I've interviewed with were low-balling?! 3. Quality of service: A LOT of businesses (not just restaurants and hospitality) seem like they don't value their customers nor care if they come back...?!?! I know there is a staffing shortage/issue - But, that is no excuse to lower your standards of customer service! Your customers are why you are in business - Value and treat as such! (Off my soapbox now - LOL!) 4. When I lived here back in 1996-2003, the "vibe" of Vegas has definitely change moving back in 2021. 5. The homeless population is evident EVERYWHERE. I've learned that the city/officials only care about bringing in high profile events to generate income for the city (NFL Draft, Rock-n-Roll Marathon, NHL All Star Game, etc...). They don't care of how these events cause an inconvenience to it's residents (traffic and noise) and that they really don't care about the homeless and where they stay ?!?! Hence the huge increase especially near the strip. 6. How Vegas doesn't really enforce nor promote recycling ?!?!

    Insurance is expensive here because they base it off of the area u are in, the other drivers around you. I agree, it sucks but I did insurance for awhile and it’s based on number of accidents in your area, make of car, driving history, etc. vegas is a 24 hour town so they also take into consideration the risk of living in a “party” type of town. You may be a very safe driver but the others around you are not. Again, it stinks, I agree. Only part I hate about living here. Oh & yes, wages are lower. When I first got here in 93, I asked a lady at a staffing agency why is pay so low here? I have an education, what’s going on? She said because Vegas is considered a transient place, no one plants roots so employers don’t care to pay what they should pay employees.

He was lonely so he would find the best deals in Vegas for food or Casino give aways. He was like an encyclopedia on Las Vegas. (That was a set of books with every important information in it) He should have been a Realtor as he was a wiz on Nevada facts. He works at a Casino off the strip running the Bing operation now.
