Why move to Las Vegas?

Why move to Las Vegas? Well for one it's got a growing economy.

"Job creation is also rising, state data showed. Nevada created 8,200 jobs in May, the Department of Employment, Training and Rehabilitation said June 19. In the past year, 47,600 new jobs have been added to the state's work force, which is growing at a 4.4 percent annual rate, compared with 1 percent nationally." ( LVRJ July 6th 2004 )

The rest of this article talks about how Las Vegas is now the number one community for issuing new building permits. But not everbody wants a new home, I hope. Plus, if I may toot my own horn for a moment, you're not going to able to find a new home with a land lot my size unless you plan to buy a custom home.

I'm on the Map

I'm busy dusting and mopping myself to make myself all pretty for any of you potential buyers who want to stop by and get a closer look. But in the meantime, here's a link to the Yahoo Maps page of my neighborhood. You'll see there is lots of great golfing nearby, plenty of shopping and dining, and we're close (but not too close) to the major freeways and surface streets.

I've opened comments on this post in case you want to ask me anything specific about the area.

Culture

People say Las Vegas doesn't have any culture. But that's not true. Here are just a few of the places that sing out 'Viva Las Vegas' every night and day.

Elvis-A-Rama Museum - It wouldn't be Vegas without Elvis, right? So it makes sense that the world's largest public collection of Elvis memorabilia and collectibles is right here in the new city of lights. Take the tour then stay for the Elvis impersonator, I'm sorry, Elvis tribute artist.

Hofbräuhaus Las Vegas - An replica of the famous German Beer Hall. You can't get any more cultural than that.

Liberace Museum - Perhaps the most famous of all the Las Vegas Museums and a must stop on the tour. You'll be blinded by all the amazing costumes, the rhinestone piano and car, and swept away by the music. I promise.

Of course if those great destinations don't do it for you there is always the Natural History Museum, The Lied Children's Discovery Museum, or the many fine art museums on the strip. But that's a topic for another day.

Around the Neighborhood

Part of the reason behind this blog is to tell you why I like living in this neighborhood. Today it's about the parks.

I'm just 3 blocks from one of Henderson's newest and nicest parks, Anthem Hills Park. So far there have been big events there every few months or so. Whether it's del webb sponsoring a party, the city hosting a holiday celebration, or some local sporting events, you can find something to do there. The park features a large playground, baseball diamonds, soccer fields, an outdoor hockey rink, a skatepark, and for family outings there are picnic areas with barbeque pits!

Henderson Parks and Rec also has a great Multi-generational center just a few minutes away that's perfect for hosting events, playing a game of pickup basketball, working out at the gym, or going for a swim in the community pool.
