GuestI think Vegas is poised for a rebound.
The problem is that Vegas is full of trashy people. I’d hate to end up with trashy tenant.
If your friends and relatives like Vegas and would visit frequently, then why not share the cost and buy a pied a terre?

There’s so much more to Vegas than the strip and downtown.[/quote]Boulder City is clean. No gambling is allowed there and the eerie desert views of Lake Mead and its surrounding purple mtns from its terraced streets are incredible! And boating, waterskiing and cave-exploring are just phenomenal at Lake Mead!
I think only a fraction of the population of LV works in the casino industry. There are also several large agencies of the Federal gov’t there as well as several large government contractors.
The longtime “solvent” resident of LV likely never gets caught up in a traffic jam on the strip or sets foot into a casino except perhaps to take an out-of-town guest to a show.

brian, I think this is going to take awhile. LV is grossly overbuilt and does not now have enough jobs to support that much housing.
If more retirees and investors came in and paid cash for some of the distressed overhang, this could help speed the recovery. The investor, however, will still need tenants with jobs or a pension.
April 10, 2012 at 11:27 AM #741378ParticipantThe casino industry DOES have one thing going for it. The vast majority of employment positions it offers do NOT require a Bachelor degree (overrated, anyway, IMHO). Most floor positions are skilled specialties requiring 4-6 months occupational school or “shadowing.” It is generally steady work with paid holidays, sick leave, medical/dental/vision benefits and regular food breaks on the employee menu. A portion of casino positions are still represented. Casinos offered defined benefit pensions in years past (10 yrs to vest) but not sure they do anymore. Employees must remain above average in appearance, presentable in their uniforms, physically fit enough to stand on their feet for long periods and well-groomed throughout their careers.
Many casinos have workers that have 30+ years seniority. Believe it or not, these workers, for the most part, don’t believe in gambling but immensely enjoy watching the steady weekend stream of Californians lose their a$$es.
How do I know all this? I had two relatives who lived in LV for a VERY long time. One was a career craps dealer with a side specialty of roulette (now ret) and the other a retired Postmaster (now deceased).
The craps dealer actually had a Bachelor degree from UNLV in math with a minor in “statistics” … lol :=]

brian, since you appear to be referring to the residents in LV (as potential tenants), you should know that almost all the casino (and gov’t/contractor) jobs there require a criminal B/R check (as well as a credit check – to determine if you would be a “vulnerable” money-handler). Some of the Federal gov’t and contractor positions there require a secret clearance. A few require a “top-secret” clearance. “Trashy” people can’t usually pass these pre-employment screenings. Might you be referring here to the “homeless” in LV or perhaps the endless stream of “visitors” (mostly from CA)??
June 6, 2012 at 2:12 PM #745173GuestOk, after I dissed Las Vegas, a buddy and I decided to go in together and buy a house in Vegas.
Does anyone have suggestions on the neighborhoods to buy?

Summerlin… One of the more desirable areas…

ParticipantI 2nd Summerlin. Summerlin has the best feel of a community in Vegas IMHO. Lots of the communities in this area also have mature trees and greener streets, which I like (though I know it’s not as water friendly). I also think the Summerlin will be the best positioned in a housing price recovery (if one ever comes to Vegas).
