People debating Los Angeles vs. Las Vegas as a landing spot. I lived 2 years in Vegas and 16 years in LA, so feel I have some perspective on this.
Education for your kids is a non-issue in my mind. If you're a multi-millionaire, you can pick whatever private school you want.
Vegas real estate is much cheaper than comparable LA properties. Once you get outside the Strip, Henderson is lovely. I lived in the northern part of Vegas, surrounded by horse stables, orchards, a petting zoo. Very nice. The road system is better maintained than anywhere I've seen.
WAY too hot in the summer months. You can't really do much outside.
Yes, selected real estate in LA can be pricey. Again, so what if you've the money. You can live by the ocean or in the hills. Close to skiing, wineries, aviation, sports.
The weather is to die for. Very mild all year round, no humidity, no bugs, lots of sun.
My $0.02
