Las Vegas, Nevada, is known as the “Entertainment Capital of the World” with plenty of things to do, above and beyond the infamous Las Vegas Strip. Sunny weather all year round and no state taxes make it the ideal place to call home. Las Vegas is also located just a few hours from some of America’s incredible National Parks like Death Valley and the Grand Canyon National Park, as well as Southern California beaches. There are plenty of outdoor activities to explore, such as hiking, climbing, boating, and sightseeing. There is something for everyone.
Recognized as one of the most culturally diverse cities in the country, Las Vegas enjoys about 300 days of sunshine every year and has an average annual temperature hovering around 80 degrees. When the rest of the country is thawing out in March, you will already be shopping for summer clothes. Then, as the threat of the first snow comes to the east, you’ll still be having pool parties in October.
