Working remotely from Las Vegas — my experience
I've been working remotely from Las Vegas for 3 years now. Here's my take:
The pace of life here is perfect for remote work. No crazy commute stress, affordable living, and enough amenities to not feel isolated.
Cost of living: pretty reasonable
Internet: Decent, getting better with new providers
Coworking spaces: Limited but the library works in a pinch
If you're looking for a place to WFH, Las Vegas is worth considering.

I work in government and finding a job wasn't hard. Took about 4 months.

Check out the Riverside area. Way more affordable and still close to everything.

As someone who moved here from Philadelphia, I can confirm most of this. The cost of living surprised me the most.

If you can afford it, Downtown is the best place to live. Period.

Great post! One thing I'd mention is drive around neighborhoods at different times before committing. Makes a big difference.

Coming from Atlanta, the cost of living difference is noticeable. Groceries and gas are slightly more expensive but housing makes up for it.

Public transit needs work but they're investing in it. Should improve in next few years.
