Viva Las Vegas - It would be a great place to visit, but would I want to live there?

Can't say much for LV. I've only been there once back in 1971. To flat for me. I've lived in Reno 31 years and have no intentions of leaving. Reno is located at the base of the Sierra Nevadas in a very scenic location. The Truckee River flows through the middle of the city. Hunting includes upland birds ie. chuckar, guail, grouse, sage hen etc, muledeer, elk, antelope, and bighorn sheep. All kinds of fishing. Lots of nightime entertainment. 24 hour town if that means anything. No state income tax (gaming takes care of that), no estate tax, and no inheritance tax. Real estate is expensive. Summer temperatures range from high 70's to just above 100 in August. Winter temps vary from single digits to mid 40's. Snow varies from winter to winter. This winter was the worst since 1916. 31" in 24 hours. Skiing sometime into early summer! I've been in a t-shirt in February. Basically, if you don't like the weather just wait 5 mins. Seems like there is something going on every weekend in the summer Chili cookoff, rib cookoff, Hot August Nights (one week of classic cars from all over) etc. Oh yeah, a right to carry state
