Las Vegas, Nevada

My mom is looking at retirement communities in the Las Vegas area. She hopes to move in the fall. She received the Chamber of Commerce packet, but I was wondering if anyone on this board lives there and can offer some insights into living there? I have been there at least a dozen times on business for stays from 3 days to two weeks, so both Mom and I have done the Strip. I need to know about community activites, governmental issues (utilities, DMV, etc.) and anything else that a potential resident would want to know. Thanks in advance!!!:)
 
I hope you get some replies. I've lived 100 miles north of Vegas all my life, but can't tell you much about local politics and stuff. I just know the traffic and road construction is getting worse, and housing prices are rising like crazy! Vegas is the second fastest growing city in the country right now.

It is a desert, which means there are water restrictions. If she's living in a retirement community that shouldn't affect her though. About 45 miles from Vegas is Pahrump and much tamer. But, then, I'm not a city girl. I just like Vegas to go shopping now and then!
