I do not live in Vegas, but have been there many times and have several friends who live there and love it. Summer is very hot and dry. My opinion is the entertainment, restauraunts and sights are excellent and not expensive for the locals. I would personally see the greatest benefit being year round riding but several friends that live there comment the change of seasons is the element they miss most. I say, sure the change of season is novelty, but the cold, snowy weather is far more of a negative than the refreshing spring is a positive. Why am I still in northern Ohio???
