Sigh... my old stomping grounds....

The area around Nellis isn't the greatest. I do have friends who live up between Bonanza and Charleston near Hollywood blvd. It's an OK area. That's a tough part of town to commute to or live around. North Las Vegas is a pit, and roads on the north side of town suck to commute on. The east side of town isn't near as bad.

Tough call - if I had to live in town, the area on the east side between Bonanza and Charleston isn't a bad one. I also like some parts of Henderson - you can take 93/95 south - it still moves pretty good, or at least it did in April when I was back in town for a conference.

Dunno, other than North Las Vegas there just aren't too many really bad places in town. You'll have to look for yourself.

Any kids? I would definitely head for the south or west side of town if I had kids....
