Hey guys, I am being stationed in Vegas (can't wait to leave DC). Well, there is no club in Vegas so I guess I will be looking to meet up with the AZ crew when you wheel up North and Southern CA crew when they wheel.

I have a report no later than date of 15 Feb so it will be a few months. The wife and I will be buying out there so if anyone has advice for living in Vegas I would appreciate it. The base is NE of the strip... obviously looking to stay as close to the base as possible without living in a bad area.

Vegas Baby!!!

Sounds like fun.

(Hey, I have a buddy there that works for Keller Williams Realty if you're looking to buy a home and don't want to pick a name out of the phone book.)

Hey, you won't be too far from Moab too.

Where in Vegas does he work? I am looking at Henderson and N. LV for living right now. To be honest I can't really committ until I get out there and check the area. I am flying out in Dec to look/hopefully make an offer on something.

I just sent him a quick email and will let you know for sure.

Edit: Yes, he lives right next to Henderson and has helped a bunch of clients in "NLV" as well.

I'll PM you his contact info. I know it's a little ways out, but sometimes it's good to start the hunt earlier than later.

If I moved to Vegas I'd be in trouble on a weekly basis.

I'll ask my soldiers, 3 are from Vegas. They're going back there on leave next week.

Good afternoon Sgt.

My cousin was posted there up until a couple of months ago, and suggests getting away from the base. She said the socioeconomics of the the immediate area do not make for a secure quality of life. Not the words she used....more like "the area around the base sucks ass".
Hope that helps....

2xplore would be correct. My soldiers said it's pretty ghetto around post. You'll probably end up driving 45 min-1 hour to get a nice place to live. Buying a decent house there can be expensive. Be choosy about the loan companies, many do things half way.
