There are many reasons why we live in Las Vegas. Visitors may see the glitter on the ‘Strip” or Fremont Street, but there are other reasons we live here. It is true this is a Worldwide destination for gamblers (and would-be gamblers), but there is a lot more going on now!
Las Vegas has become the Entertainment Capital of the Nation (and possibly the world.) The following are the latest attractions.
- The Casinos and Stadiums host the most diverse entertainment available.
- U2 opened the Las Vegas Globe to a new venue for an immersive experience.
- There are always Elvis impersonators somewhere in Las Vegas.
- There are usually “Hard Rockers” performing in one of the Casinos or stadiums.
- Rodeos are always a big draw when they are here. It seems they show up every week or so in the fall. There is the Professional Bull Riders Rodeo, National Finals Rodeo, Barrel Racing, the Indian National Finals Rodeo and the American Rodeo Contender Tournament.
- New Year’s and Fourth of July Fireworks always attract a large crowd from out of town.
- Casinos are always a big draw any time of year, especially on Holiday weekends.

No State Income tax is always a benefit if someone moves from a state with high-income taxes. We let the Casinos collect money that would normally be taken out of our paychecks. Another thing is the mild weather in the Winter months. There is always a group of “Snowbirds” that flock here during the Northern Winters. We have Air Conditioners for the GHOT Summer months that let us survive to the Fall And Spring months. It is not all Roses, though. Visit the page about driving in Las Vegas.
