Yeah, but then you have to live in Bris-Vegas, and frankly I'd rather move to Edmonton (well that's a little extreme, Hamilton maybe). I'm sure there are good areas, but I was stuck there for a few weeks with work and couldn't stand the place. The CBD was dead except for one strip (Valley?)and the suburban area we were in was a hole. Driving around it seemed to be pretty par for the course for the City. Maybe I just found all the crappy parts.
Oh, the casino also sucks.
