Las Vegas at a Glance
Las Vegas for residents is a different city than Las Vegas for tourists. The Strip is 4 miles of your 200-mile metro. Locals live in master-planned suburbs, pay no state income tax, and enjoy 300+ sunny days. The heat from June to August is extreme but dry — 115°F is not uncommon. The trade-off for cheap rent and no taxes is a job market heavily dependent on hospitality and gaming.
