My family is thinking about relocating from New York to Las Vegas. We have to small children a 1 year old and a 2 year old.is Las Vegas a good place to raise children and are there children friendly things to do??
Honestly, I lived there before, and even though I would like to move back, i would home school, and also get out and get out of the city regularly too. The schools there sucked. But they do have a lot of churches, you could always call and just ask them…
But i know lots of folks who have nice lives and normal families. Well, normal for Vegas. Butldnt honestly, i wouldn’t move their with any lil ones, it would seem to dangerous, too risky. A lot of folks go in and out of that town 24/7 and there are a lot of crimes. If you do go, have a safe way to leave and money set aside with someone you trust where u live now. (At least that’s what i wish i had done, lol)
Las Vegas may not seem like such a great place to raise kids, but there are great places once you get away from the strip and all the casinos. Summerlin is probably the nicest community you could ever raise your children in. I would try there.

Las Vegas is a great place for families. I helps if you join a group to get to know people with your likes and hobbies. Church groups have many things for youth. If you are involved with your children there is lots to do. Wasup flag football, soccer, the Lake, Museums, water sports, Hiking Mt Charleston, Red Rock, Ghost towns, national parks in utah 2 hour away.
Green Valley Ranch movie in the park. And many more social events
The ocean and beaches 4 hours away.
Hi I’m Dave from NJ I have been to Vegas many times and am thinking of moving there within a couple years or so to retire. I am near Atlantic city and gamble quite heavily on strictly slots. I know my then fixed income won’t allow such extravaganza when I move there. I am also single. But I love the city there’s so much to do and I hear the housing is dirt cheap and I adore the warm weather and the fact there’s a zillion more girls than guys. Question: do you think that I who will be around 60 then would or could acclimate myself to the environment on a permanent basis
Thank you. We have been looking to move to Vegas for some time now and reading articles like this really helps.
We are moving because the military is moving us and we have a special needs child. How is the services with having special needs?
I am about to retire from new York I have a 3 year old grandson would this be a good place to retire

Hello
I’m a female in my early thirties.My boyfriend and I are looking into moving from Minneapolis, MN to Vegas. I’ve been doing so much research, it’s ridiculous. I work in pastry and he works in sales. We can take the harsh snowy winters anymore.
Vegas seems to fit us both well, neither of are set addicts,alcoholics or gamblers.
I’m just trying to figure out safe areas to find an apartment. It’s really hard because we just have to go off reviews and most are mixed. People hate or Love it. We in downtown Minneapolis so we know the hustle and crime of city life.
I don’t expect to go to Vegas and land a great place or incredible job at first but we would just like a safe area with no cockroaches. We already have them here but as I understand there much bigger in Vegas . lol Its really frustrating, the reviews are so mixed. Minnesota slows way down in the winters you’re stuck in the house unless you do winter sports which neither of us do.
Minneapolis rent is about more expensive here with no amenities.
Everyone is always sick in the winters (colds and flus). I would just appreciate opinions on area’s and how people living in Vegas.
Anything would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Hi,
We have decided to sell all of our belongings and move to Vegas. I know this is a very big move but we are ready for a change. Can anyone please tell me of any resources (job sites, housing) to help us once we get there or that I can contact before arriving. We are basically going there and starting completely over. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks
I am looking to move to vegas from baton rouge and trying to see if it is better to make that move.
I am praying about moving to Las Vegas to work with the homeless, addicts, and prostitutes. I thought about NY, DC and LA but my mind keeps going back to Vegas and those flood tunnels. I have no idea how to begin this journey but I feel God is lining it up!
Thinking about moving to las vegas with my husband, 14 year old, and 6 year old.gettng a BA degree in social work. Been researching. Need some advice???
I’m planning to move to Henderson NV in a few weeks, I’m in the second part of my life and I think taking a risk to do what you want is great, I don’t ever want to regret not doing what I want to do.
I would like to meet people who are planning the same move, make friends and take the journey with.
I will be leaving Washington DC the third week of September 2018 if all goes well, I resigned from my job so i know this is a serious deal for me.
Is there anyone currently or who has recently in the few months moved to vegas, i like to hear your story about how it was for you.
Planning a move in 2020, senior folks coming from Ohio, how can you find a reputable property management company, so you can find an apartment in a safe, quiet zone, to start the next chapter of your life, affordable, not a lot of college apartments, no pets just a comfortable place to start exploring the area to possibly buying a year after. Any insight would ease my husband mind, and get our move beyond the planning stage. Love ideas, and information about the area. My hubby needs to be close to a VA medical office, any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
