Las Vegas
The City That Never Sleeps
Have you ever wondered what it is like to live in Las Vegas, the entertainment capital of the world, a gambling mecca for millions every year? What could it possibly be like for a person to live in a city known as "Sin City," where the only thing hotter than the bright lights is the sun. According to lasvegasnevada.gov over 600,000 people live in Las Vegas now, which is triple what it was just twenty years ago. It is a city built as a railroad town that has turned into one of the most well known cities in the world. Las Vegas is not just a tourist destination, but a great place to live.

With all of the job opportunities that come from the Las Vegas Strip itself, this is an ideal destination to find work. But the Las Vegas Strip is not the only place to find work.

My dad works construction and with all of the new hotels and stores being built, there is always a job for him. My mom works on the Nellis Air Base where she is a nurse." Daniel's family is a perfect example of the people moving to Las Vegas for jobs. With open jobs and a strong economy, Las Vegas is a great place to live. In 2005 Price Waterhouse stated "Las
