After spending 4 days in Vegas, driving around in the residential areas and doing some house shopping, going to some regular 'daily life' places like the grocery stores and hell-marts, touring the "rough parts" of town, and then taking in some entertainment; my wife and I couldn't really find a good reason to stop trying to move there. I barely noticed my neck and back pain, even on the day I went mostly dry because of house shopping and driving on roads I don't know. The school my kid wants to go to is beautiful and the staff was really friendly. I think I only cussed at traffic twice there.
Even walking through the area of town the realtor told me to go if I wanted to see the 'slummiest slums' of Vegas. Yeah, the look she gave me when I asked directions to the one place in town no one goes willingly, was an amusing look to say the least. Anyway, yeah I saw two crazies talking to Elvis and one crazy Elvis talking to Janice. That's noting compared to the wonders the Bath Salt State has provided me over the years.

Penn and Teller live are even better than on TV.

I really thought driving in and out of the residential areas at rush hour, wandering through the supposed rough parts alone at night, and staying off the strip most the trip might trigger my 'this place sucks' vibe, but it didn't happen. The one rough moment was midnight shift change at White Castle, that kind of sucked, it's White Castle, it always sucks.

After landing back home, my back started hurting before we got to baggage claim, driving home form the airport was 45 minutes at 80mph bumper to bumper at 8pm, almost side swiped twice in traffic, and every interaction I've had since I got home has made me want to stay in the house.

Yeah, I'm done with the deep south. Got some more ducks to line up but I think we can make it work and maybe even have some fun. Looks like we're going to Leroy Jenkins this, just like 20 years ago when we escaped the cow and corn fields of the Midwest.

Fun fact: you can pull sympathy strings and get a discount on a Vegas dinner if you tell the owner you're looking to move there as a sanity refugee from Flori-duh.

Funner Fact: Doing THC liquid shots before dinner make for really blunt conversations with the restaurant owner.

May I recommend Tucson. The weather is better, the cost of living is cheaper, more scenic and a lot less traffic.
