There’s a little something for everybody!

Alright, so you figured out that Las Vegas is where you’ll be moving from our guide Cost of Living in Las Vegas, and now it’s just a matter of where! 

When people think of Las Vegas, the first things that come to mind are glitz, glamor, casinos, gentlemen’s clubs, gambling, nightclubs, and wild nights in the town. And while you can absolutely do all of those things, there’s much more to Sin City than meets the eye! 

Also, Fun Fact: we live in homes, NOT casinos (you’d be surprised how many times people actually ask that). 

By the end of this piece, you’ll have a better understanding to help you pick the home in the neighborhood of your dreams!

Summerlin, Las Vegas, is a premier urban and residential community nestled against the breathtaking Red Rock National Conservation Area. It’s a fantastic neighborhood for anyone who wants to be close to nature, local restaurants, and the best shops.
