| | | I've lived in Henderson for the past 6 years. Vegas isn't for everyone, but I'm sure glad you've already got a job lined-up instead of being one of those people who move here on-impulse, with the fantasy of quickly lining-up a great job, etc. Try to really do some research on finding a nice home in a nice area -- nice obviously being a subjective term, or at-least get a short-term rental so you can familiarize yourself with the different communities, pricing, etc. and then work on getting what you want. Housing prices are HIGH right now, and houses go fast... I like living in a nice section of Henderson -- a mostly calm & quiet community (meaning my specific subdivision -- Henderson has some stereotypical ghettos & crime is increasing...), but if I want to get loud & stupid & surround myself with thousands of like-minded fools, the Las Vegas Strip is just a 20 minute drive away for me. When you arrive here in July or August, sorry, but no, it's not some insane heat wave that's going to be gone in a day or two -- welcome to Summer in the Mojave Desert. Stay hydrated, make that $$$ to keep your air-conditioning on 24/7 from June - October & to keep your car maintained, and you actually will kinda sorta get-used to the heat. As social as we can be, many of us kind of just hibernate in our homes from July - September when not at work. /-/oolie 7:14PM & only 88.7 degrees outside at the moment.

| Good, helpful post! Got me thinking: if "hibernation" (from latin hiems) is what some animals (including some human ones, especially up here) do in winter... Then laying low over the summer season is called estivating, from latin aestas. I didn't wanna be a smartass: it's just that hiver means "winter" in French, and we also use the verb hiverner for "hibernate", so I figured there must be an equivalent word for summer. https://www.merria...l-with-summer-heat
