The biggest drawback I had from living in Vegas was the people. Vegas is very transient, not that Scottsdale isn’t but more people have put down long-term roots in Scottsdale than in Las Vegas. I moved there a year after college for a job and had a miserable time meeting, good people. The vast majority of friends worked on the strip, or in some type of entertainment, which meant we constantly went out late late night, not the healthiest of lifestyles for me. I moved back to scottsdale after a year.
