Ladies - DH and I may have the opportunity to move to Las Vegas for myjob which would actually located in Primm. We are a little familiar with Vegas, but I'd really like to hear from people who live or lived there...what is Primm like? We would rent initially, so what areas should we consider? Pros and cons...I know it gets extremely hot, but other than that, I don't know...DH is retired so work for him is not a consideration. would love to hear thoughts! Thanks in Advance!!

There isn't much in Primm but the casinos.........you're right at the California/Nevada border.........you could also look at Henderson, it's up in the mountains a bit, near the dam..........very hot there.........flash floods happen just about every time it rains.......and very very cold in winter.....BUT...........great places to eat and there is always Lake Mead for water spots although it's waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay down right now..............................raven

I have a former friend who bought a house in Summerlin in 2000. She and her husband are both retired. Many of the gated tracts within this community are for seniors -- with a clubhouse, pools, etc. It does get brutally HOT in the summer for several months - and the nights are also very warm so the air conditioning needs to run a lot. Most people enjoy the entertainment/hotels, many great restaurants, people-watching and lower cost-of-living. Best to visit and speak to people who actually live there and get their opinions. I could never live there - not my style of living and it's way too hot for me. It is the desert!!!!!! I suggest u take a trip there in the next few weeks to see if u could cope.

Hot, but, you mentioned that, LOL.
I've just never been especially fond of Vegas,even as a vacay destination, so, it wouldn't be a place I would choose to live.
In fairness, I've not spent enough time there to know the behind the scenes city.
I'll bet there are posters that can give you some good information.
