I have lived in Vegas for 6 years (also from Hawaii) and felt like I was ready for something new. After doing research about other states, none has beat the pros of Vegas honestly lol love that there’s so many places to eat especially late night, concerts and large events happening in our backyard.
Just moved to Vegas in late 2018 from California. Best decision of my life man, life has been so much more better & beneficial for my family and I. Whenever we miss Cali we can always go visit as it’s right next door so it’s perfect honestly
@@SeanUyehara Hey, I only been to Vegas once. I don't drive but I enjoyed it. I'm not big on partying but I want to come back for a visit. Can you do a video suggesting some things to do.
I moved from Los Angeles to Las Vegas in 1989. Best move I ever made. Saving a ton on income taxes and property taxes isn't the only advantage. This video lays out the issues very effectively.
Thank you! Me and my boyfriend have been doing endless research on living in Vegas for over 1 year and this is the year where we are finally making the move. I'm so excited to get away from over crowded los Angeles 🔥
That's awesome to hear! Making a move is a huge step to consider. Please let me know if there is anything we can assist you with regarding your move. Talk soon Bri Lynn
Im 22 and have always lived in California but I want to move out of my moms house but not feel like I’m downgrading. In Vegas I can get a way nicer place for way cheaper so I’ve been considering it, thanks for this
Moved to Henderson NV in 2016 for a job I started in Chicago. I immediately got a $300+ a month extra income due to no state income tax. Love living here!
We were lucky enough to move here over 20 years ago from the LA area. We have seen a LOT of growth. We absolutely love it here!!! We moved into an area called Green Valley Ranch. We did not have kids at the time (we have two now). Boy were we happy to choose this area. It's awesome!!!!! We have some of the BEST schools in the country in this area. Homes were a lot cheaper then. It's a bit more expensive now, but still WAY cheaper than LA. Sean, you did an awesome job with is video!
Thanks for the love Jannette! That's such a cool story, I remember when my parents considered moving to Vegas back in the 90s, home prices were under $100k! Yes for sure we can enjoy the cheaper prices compared to LA......but things are sure increasing rapidly here.
Very informative. As someone who's lived in Vegas for quite awhile, I think you covered everything very well. It would be interesting to see your take on different neighborhoods, like how Summerlin is mostly retirees or Henderson is more family-friendly while the strip is good for singles, although some of the cheaper rentals around there can be super shady. A breakdown on utilities might also be helpful. A lot of newbies get burned in the summer by that first electric bill. 🌞
@@kingdaughterfaithlovehope4877 Hi. What are you needing specifically? Electric bills can be high in the summer while your A/C runs constantly in the 110 degree afternoons. One bedroom apartment can be $150 or a two story 4 bedroom house with two A/C units for upstairs/downstairs can be $550. The winters can be as low as $50 and $150 for each. Hope that helps. 🌞
I left Atlanta for Texas 10 years ago for the same reason and it was the best decision I’ve made. I’m now looking to move to Vegas in 2022 and wish I would’ve just did it this year but I’ll be able to plan my move better for next year. Good Luck with your decision 🙏🏾
I am a Las Vegas resident of Vegas for over 10 years and I greatly appreciate your ongoing insight, however, I believe that there are a tremendous amount of people moving here that fail to do all of their research before moving to Vegas as a "whole"....
I’ve never been to Vegas but I’ve been considering making my first trip to Vegas to live there. I’m doing my research. Thanks for this video! Very informative.
I'm in Chicago now and thinking about moving there . Heat is kind of scary since I work outdoors but I'm still interested. Still having about two years before I'm ready though
I’m born and raised in Louisiana and just moved back to Louisiana from Vegas a year ago after I got engaged. We just had a daughter and me and my husband and kids are excited to move back soon!!!!
You forgot the cons of all those desert critters. In most states, people only have to worry about mosquitos, flies, and spiders. In Vegas, there are LIZARDS and SCORPIONS that can get in your house and yard.
Thank you, Sean. Watched the entire thing and it's extremely helpful and genuine. You have an excellent communication style and I'm strongly considering moving there.
Thank you for this list, I have been considering moving there for the past year coming from New York City. I find it funny how all your cons don't affect me so it's making me feel better. I'm expecting a second interview over the phone today so I already had a positive outlook, but this is making me feel even more positive.
That's great to hear. If you want to personally discuss your cons we can always hop on a call or you can send me an email. Happy to help, email: seanu@loandepot.com
Sean, EXCELLENT video, excellent presentation!! I see you're a realtor so you obviously know your stuff. I can tell you put a lot of thought into this video and did a lot of research. I was lucky enough to live in Vegas back in the 90s for 4 years (bought an older home off Mountain Vista, between Flamingo and Trop), worked at the MGM Grand running a deli, and absolutely loved my life there. I had friends, made great money, and since I don't gamble, I loved the casino atmosphere without going broke!! I would still be there if my wife didn't want to move back to Ohio. I'm one of those who HATE winter, so the intense summers in Vegas never bothered me...small price to pay for 4-5 months of mild weather between November and April!! The only thing you did forget to mention in your video, when you were discussing traffic, was the INSANE traffic on the Strip, which is unavoidable. Anyway...great job!!!
Maybe no income tax but the school suffer as a result. You have to send your kids to private school and so that is where you’re otherwise tax when he would go
People...research the school situation. The overall Standardized Test scores are dismal. Plus, private industry wages are often wayyy less compared to other urban cities. Check out comparable regular salary wages BEFORE moving. Vegas is more a small/mid-size urban city so it's easy to get around but you definitely need a car. It is HOT here - blazing, blazing hot from June to September
This video is so helpful. I’m in Texas right now and I’m thinking of Vegas. Initially thought of Washington state but I think I may have a lot more fun in Vegas since I love traveling there when I can. Plus it seems cheap and I love that it’s 24/7.
Thank you for sharing this pros and cons.I loved Vegas but,we live in California.Every time we go there we enjoyed staying there playing in the casinos not much $$ foods and walking around no dull moment.
Awesome video! I’m 21, thinking of moving out to Vegas because of Hawaii’s expensive living costs. It’s nice to hear this from someone who used to be a Hawaii resident. Thank you for sharing this information! Could you compare your living costs, differences etc. from when in Hawaii and now in Vegas?
Oh man, its been almost 20 years since I left Hawaii. The cost of living in HI just doesn't make sense for me at this point. I enjoy visiting home, but wouldn't move back unfortunately.
That is the reason why I moved away from back home and came to Vegas I lived here since 2005 the cost of living in Hawaii was too much I was also working 3 jobs
I currently live in the Bay Area and thinking about moving my family out to Henderson. The pros definitely outweigh the cons, but had 2 questions. 1) What parts of the year does the heat hit 100+? I heard April through October? 2) What areas have the best public education? I heard Green Valley Ranch, any others?
Hi Ben, the summer months is when it is hot. Probably around May-Sept. As far as schooling goes, I believe Henderson is pretty good, but i'm not 100% sure. I'd definitely check out some public websites that ranks schools
I grew up in Hawaii all my life & moved to North Dakota 🥶 when I was 20 years old & lives in ND for now 4 years & i am ready to get out of here🤣 went to Vegas just last week & man I gotta say.. I loved the vibe & all the local foods I missed! Lau lau, poke etc. & Vegas seems more of my lifestyle. I got Texas & Vegas currently on my list but Vegas is ahead right now. Thanks for this, I needed this.

Mahalo Sean. Your Pros and Cons review of the Las Vegas area was very informative and comprehensive. I'm originally from Waimanalo, O'ahu now residing in Monterey, CA. I'm familiar with the cost of living in both states. Being retired military I was considering moving to Las Vegas in or near Henderson, NV.
Thank you Manley, I appreciate the feedback. As you know Vegas is the 9th island and there are so many folks from HI and CA moving here simply due to the cost of living. Let me know if you have any specific questions that I can answer for you seanu@loandepot.com
I lived in Vegas and one big con for most people is gambling , if you have a addictive personality , Vegas will be the last place you want to be moving to !
Glad to see this video! We’re looking to move to Vegas probably in 2023. We’re coming from Oahu 🤙🏽 definitely glad you brought up the schooling. I wanna make sure my kids attend the right public school.
Very fair/balanced report. I've lived here for 15 years. The summers are brutal although we do get a bit of a break in that it's dry heat. Humidity is terribly uncomfortable. Fall and winter is really beautiful. Crime particularly in certain areas deserves a mention. Poor air quality and the lovely scorpion community are not great selling points either. However the sunsets are simply glorious.
Thank you for mentioning the crime part. I’m actually moving to Vegas in February from Portland Oregon and I am seriously concerned about the crime there. Do you have any recommendations of places to live besides the obvious Henderson and Summerlin? Or places to avoid where there’s higher crime? And now that you mention the damn scorpions now I have to worry about them too lol.
Thank you for this! My boyfriend and I are moving there in July and we're super excited! It's been kind of tough to find good apartments though, a lot of them have really weird reviews ha ha. If anyone recommend safe and affordable neighborhoods I would love to hear your opinion!!😄
Looking to move to Vegas from CA. The main reason we picked NV is the cost of living and if my husband has a meeting in CA he can still get there easily. Definitely worried about the school system though.
I take the bus and while I would rather have a car..... the fact that the buses run 24/7 compared to many other cities is a great advantage that is often overlooked.
All of our friends that have moved to Henderson love it there. I'm not too sure about it. We're beach people, but we do like the desert and have relatives in St. George. I'm on the fence about.
Totally understand, I can go to CA anytime I want to enjoy the beach if I miss it that much. Like they say there is a price to pay to live in Paradise.
You forgot to mention the car insurance in Vegas as a con. Your rates will skyrocket here lol. Not to mention registering your vehicle is expensive. Between the car insurance and registration, those cancel out the no-income tax. Also, driving in this city is nuts. It is literally a free for fall, all day, every day.
@@Jaykick Yes, my sister lives there. It's on par with Vegas i'd say, but they atleast let you over when you signal down there. Here, it's the Hunger Games lol.
Awesome content bro been going through all your videos one by one Moving to Las Vegas be there in nine months just trying to do as much research as I can, thinking of leasing a place before we buy. keep that content coming 🤙🏽🤙🏽 Aloha
This is very informative video because i need to stay in vegas to start a new life, and i wanted my family to go there in vegas to have a happy life. And yet thank you for this video and this helps me so much to move in vegas. From France~
That's so exciting. Where are you relocating from? Some of the major grocery stores here in town are Albertsons, Von's, Smith's, WinCo, Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, Sprouts and as far as credit unions go, Clark County Credit Union, America First, One Nevada, Silver State Schools, WestStar, Greater Nevada
Thank you for such an informative Video! Im hoping to get a transfer from my current job to work in Nevada (preferably Las Vegas or Henderson) in the next few years to better me and my family's lives.
Help @Sean ..Me and my wife wants to move (From the Bay Area) to Las Vegas... Our lease (at our current apartment) ends Nov. 10 ... we have zero idea on how to execute the "Transition" ... should we start looking for an apartment there thru online and have everything sorted out "remotely" ? Is that even possible? any ideas is truly appreciated ... Thank you !
I went to Vegas recently for a EDM concert and it was on the 4th of July weekend and my god I wanna move there but this video justade me wanna go even more

@@livefree2881 right on. We've had several clients that reached out that are doing the same thing as you. Let me know if there is anything we can do to assist
Hello. I am planning to move to Las Vegas next year. Right now I am living in Iowa a small state the pay isn’t great but you can save money. Where do I start when looking to move?
Lived here 14 years and never had a problem with scorpions. You can always hire a company like Terminix to spray your home. Very affordable to have them come out and service your home
I’ve been here almost three years and we’ve never seen scorpions. But I’m in an older development that went up in the mid 1990s. Scorpions do exist here but it just depends on which part of the city you’re in. They have them further northwest and in North Las Vegas where the homes are relatively newer and more on the outskirts of the city.
@@chocolatmood Not true...we have an exterminator and scorpions are hard to kill so I do it myself. We live in the East side (Charleston and Hollywood) and there are scorpions here because we have so many palm trees. Scorpions love palm trees and we have 16 palm trees on our property. Our house was built in 1996.
Yo, just put an offer on a house here in Vegas. Moved from Seattle (but don't tell anyone). If Vegas got a BASEBALL TEAM that would be incredible. - WW
Great video. I'm glad you escaped uber expensive Hawaii. I lived in Southern California where house prices and taxes were outrages. 7-$800K Sounds about right. Over a million to be on the coast with a view. I can Imagine how expensive things are in Hawaii when shipped all the way from the mainland. Covid must be a nightmare for them.
I recently moved from California to Reno, and I must say Reno is a s$&! Hole! I’m moving to Vegas at the end of this year and this video has helped me make that decision, thank you!
Vegas is Reno on crack. The social pathology you see in Reno is everywhere in Nevada: meth, gangs, violence and crime, and despair. It's a function of 24 hour drinking and gambling, drugs and broken families. More than 10% of adults in Las Vegas have active warrants for their arrest, mostly because of unpaid traffic tickets.
@@SeanUyehara maybe if I make the move we should do a little colab on 1 of the contributing factors of me moving to Vegas hahaha Stay on the grind man the channel is looking great

I'm familiar with the cost of living in both states. Being retired military I was considering moving to Las Vegas in or near Henderson, NV.
Thank you Manley, I appreciate the feedback. As you know Vegas is the 9th island and there are so many folks from HI and CA moving here simply due to the cost of living. Let me know if you have any specific questions that I can answer for you seanu@loandepot.com
I lived in Vegas and one big con for most people is gambling , if you have a addictive personality , Vegas will be the last place you want to be moving to !
Glad to see this video! We’re looking to move to Vegas probably in 2023. We’re coming from Oahu 🤙🏽 definitely glad you brought up the schooling. I wanna make sure my kids attend the right public school.
Sounds good, I'm here for you if you have any questions in the future. You can always email me directly seanu@loandepot.com 🤙
Very fair/balanced report. I've lived here for 15 years. The summers are brutal although we do get a bit of a break in that it's dry heat. Humidity is terribly uncomfortable. Fall and winter is really beautiful. Crime particularly in certain areas deserves a mention. Poor air quality and the lovely scorpion community are not great selling points either. However the sunsets are simply glorious.
Thank you for mentioning the crime part. I’m actually moving to Vegas in February from Portland Oregon and I am seriously concerned about the crime there. Do you have any recommendations of places to live besides the obvious Henderson and Summerlin? Or places to avoid where there’s higher crime? And now that you mention the damn scorpions now I have to worry about them too lol.
Thanks for your feedback Elizabeth
I’m considering relocating to Las Vegas from Portland, Oregon. Thank you for making this video!
Glad we can help! If you have any specific questions, don't hesitate to reach out! Here's a link to my calendar calendly.com/seanu/30min
Thank you for this! My boyfriend and I are moving there in July and we're super excited! It's been kind of tough to find good apartments though, a lot of them have really weird reviews ha ha. If anyone recommend safe and affordable neighborhoods I would love to hear your opinion!!😄
Awesome video! I’m planning to move out there as soon as I secure a job! This video got me pumped!
Appreciate the love 💯 good luck with your job search and let me know if we can assist with any questions in the interim
Awesome content. Thanks Sean.
Thanks for watching Monte. Let me know if you have any questions that I may have missed.
Looking to move to Vegas from CA. The main reason we picked NV is the cost of living and if my husband has a meeting in CA he can still get there easily. Definitely worried about the school system though.
totally understandable. the education is definitely one thing many struggle with here.
Do be...don’t put your kids in it. Are you crazy?
I take the bus and while I would rather have a car..... the fact that the buses run 24/7 compared to many other cities is a great advantage that is often overlooked.
Thanks for your feedback Spencer
All of our friends that have moved to Henderson love it there. I'm not too sure about it. We're beach people, but we do like the desert and have relatives in St. George. I'm on the fence about.
Totally understand, I can go to CA anytime I want to enjoy the beach if I miss it that much. Like they say there is a price to pay to live in Paradise.
If I could do it over again, I would have moved to St. George and not Vegas.
I was born and raised in Vegas and And I still live here
That's awesome!
Thank you for this 🙌🏽
You're welcome!
Hey bro, thanks a lot for the vid! Very helpful info!
You're welcome, glad we can help!
I live in Iowa and just got a interview set up in Las Vegas and I'm so excited I hope I get it!!!!!
Good luck Alex!!
@@SeanUyehara Update... I got the job!!!! I fell in love with the Henderson vibes will be seeking for housing in that area!
@@alexvandepol3229 Boooooooo yah! Congrats Alex. Let us know when you're ready to chat about your housing options
Great video, informative and balanced. Thanks!
Thanks!! Glad it was helpful
Thank you for this video bro!!
You're welcome!
And very low income? minimum wage is $8.75, California is Twice that..so it is the same I think. Also, heat= AC is one 6 months a year = $$$
Thanks for your feedback
You forgot to mention the car insurance in Vegas as a con. Your rates will skyrocket here lol. Not to mention registering your vehicle is expensive. Between the car insurance and registration, those cancel out the no-income tax. Also, driving in this city is nuts. It is literally a free for fall, all day, every day.
Have you ever driven in LA ?
@@Jaykick Yes, my sister lives there. It's on par with Vegas i'd say, but they atleast let you over when you signal down there. Here, it's the Hunger Games lol.
Yes insurance is higher, great point 👌
I will be visiting this year, hopefully I'll enjoy it enough to move in the future.
Awesome to hear, we hope you have a great trip!
Awesome content bro been going through all your videos one by one Moving to Las Vegas be there in nine months just trying to do as much research as I can, thinking of leasing a place before we buy. keep that content coming 🤙🏽🤙🏽 Aloha
Right on! I appreciate the feedback. If there is anything that I can do to help, please email me seanu@loandepot.com
This is very informative video because i need to stay in vegas to start a new life, and i wanted my family to go there in vegas to have a happy life. And yet thank you for this video and this helps me so much to move in vegas. From France~
That's awesome, glad I can help Alice
420 friendly Nevada. Wasn't aware. Thanks. California is ridiculously expensive.
Yes it is, that's why we are definitely seeing lots of Southern California residents moving here to LV
What about grocery store chains and the most popular credit unions in town? Waiting on my lease to end next year and am moving there!
That's so exciting. Where are you relocating from? Some of the major grocery stores here in town are Albertsons, Von's, Smith's, WinCo, Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, Sprouts and as far as credit unions go, Clark County Credit Union, America First, One Nevada, Silver State Schools, WestStar, Greater Nevada
Vegas here I come baby !!!
🎉🥳
Thank you for such an informative Video! Im hoping to get a transfer from my current job to work in Nevada (preferably Las Vegas or Henderson) in the next few years to better me and my family's lives.
Thank you so much, let me know if there is anything we can do with the relocation 😀
Thank you for your help !!! Really gave me a good insight on moving to Vegas !! :)

Help @Sean ..Me and my wife wants to move (From the Bay Area) to Las Vegas... Our lease (at our current apartment) ends Nov. 10 ... we have zero idea on how to execute the "Transition" ... should we start looking for an apartment there thru online and have everything sorted out "remotely" ? Is that even possible? any ideas is truly appreciated ... Thank you !
Hi TC, yes we got you covered. Let's hop on a call sometime. Here is a link to my calendar calendly.com/seanu/30min
I went to Vegas recently for a EDM concert and it was on the 4th of July weekend and my god I wanna move there but this video justade me wanna go even more
hahah hope you had fun!
How about investing in Las Vegas housing real estate? Is the return good?
That's a great question Justin, it really depends on what you're looking to buy, the acquisition price and cashflow you are or will be receiving
Thank you Big Bro. i’m glad i found your channel...subscribed fasho!. Keep doing what you doing man 👏🏽 💯💪🏽
Thank you Ronell, the team and I appreciate you!

No problem Joe, if you have any other questions please don't hesitate to email me seanu@loandepot.com
I'm seriously thinking of moving to Vegas from Los Angeles, your video helped a lot, thanks. Driving in gridlock on the 405 for an hour and a half one way every day is just not sustainable haha

Hello. I am planning to move to Las Vegas next year. Right now I am living in Iowa a small state the pay isn’t great but you can save money. Where do I start when looking to move?
Great question Felicity, were you looking to rent or looking to buy a home when you relocate?
I LIKE HONEST REALTORS GREAT VIDEO...ANYONE WATCHING TRUTH IS KEY 🔑....
Thanks Steven!
Ok I’ll be the one to say it.... SCORPIONS! 🦂 Where are they and how many make it inside the house? 🤣
Lived here 14 years and never had a problem with scorpions. You can always hire a company like Terminix to spray your home. Very affordable to have them come out and service your home
I’ve been here almost three years and we’ve never seen scorpions. But I’m in an older development that went up in the mid 1990s. Scorpions do exist here but it just depends on which part of the city you’re in. They have them further northwest and in North Las Vegas where the homes are relatively newer and more on the outskirts of the city.
@@chocolatmood Not true...we have an exterminator and scorpions are hard to kill so I do it myself. We live in the East side (Charleston and Hollywood) and there are scorpions here because we have so many palm trees. Scorpions love palm trees and we have 16 palm trees on our property. Our house was built in 1996.
You are the best. Thank you for sharing.
Will be moving to an area called Paradise
Appreciate you
I love Las Vegas!
Yes!
The best pro is things open 24/7 of course no income tax. Looks like Nevada has nice roads.
Yes!
Am from Chicago do they have a african braiding hair I do hair &I won't too move
Yo, just put an offer on a house here in Vegas. Moved from Seattle (but don't tell anyone). If Vegas got a BASEBALL TEAM that would be incredible. - WW
@@KaoriLuxuryRealEstate I will def go . I like the MLB because I'm a fantasy Stat head 😎 - WW
🙏
The pros are all the wonderful new residents.
thanks for your feedback
Great video. I'm glad you escaped uber expensive Hawaii. I lived in Southern California where house prices and taxes were outrages. 7-$800K Sounds about right. Over a million to be on the coast with a view. I can Imagine how expensive things are in Hawaii when shipped all the way from the mainland. Covid must be a nightmare for them.
Thank you! I appreciate the feedback 🙏
I recently moved from California to Reno, and I must say Reno is a s$&! Hole! I’m moving to Vegas at the end of this year and this video has helped me make that decision, thank you!
You're welcome, I'm glad we were able to help. Let me know if there is anything we can assist with. Here is my email seanu@loandepot.com
Vegas is Reno on crack. The social pathology you see in Reno is everywhere in Nevada: meth, gangs, violence and crime, and despair. It's a function of 24 hour drinking and gambling, drugs and broken families. More than 10% of adults in Las Vegas have active warrants for their arrest, mostly because of unpaid traffic tickets.
@@paulo7200 sounds like the rest of the country
@@Teetee554 The rest of the country doesn't have 24 hour drinking or gambling.
Awesome breakdown my friend. Smashed the like button. Aloha 🤙 Just subbed to your channel.
Right on my brotha. Thanks for the love
Excellent video! Thank you for the great comprehensive list on both sides :)
Thanks Michael!
@@SeanUyehara :) I love visiting Vegas. I have two cousins who live there as well as two dear friends.

nice!
good video man! I'm looking to move my family there from salem oregon!!!
Thanks for the feedback Chantz!
@@SeanUyehara maybe if I make the move we should do a little colab on 1 of the contributing factors of me moving to Vegas hahaha
Stay on the grind man the channel is looking great
@@ChantzFabz hahah yes! we're here for ya.
Question. Do employers test their workers for marijuana or have a negative view on this legalization of marijuana?
I'm not sure, that would depend on who the employer is
Currently interviewing for work from home positions to gtfo of California. So sick of the taxes and overpaying for everything. Ugh
I feel your pain!
Great review👍🏼🤙🏼
Thank you!
