- When you think of Vegas, you think of the strip - gambling, partying, and vices. It's Sin City, after all. But living in Vegas is something entirely different, and here's why it's one of the best places to live in the U.S.

As a Las Vegas local, I absolutely agree. People think Vegas is just “Sin City” but it is honestly such an amazing cultural melting pot with tons to do!
Funny seeing you here 😂
theres no culture in vegas tho lol
@@TAYLOR8mm you def didn’t watch the video
@@TAYLOR8mm here we go again -_-
@@TAYLOR8mm I hear people say that there is no culture in Vegas. I’ve been here for two years now. I have to say that in its own way Las Vegas do have culture.
Kevin lives the life that everyone wants to live, he also lives a life that is completely possible to live.
Good analysis he has a great lifestyle that’s very down to earth
*Crying from LA paying an arm and leg just to step on needles from the homeless population everywhere*
I am so excited! We just bought a home in Vegas this week. I can’t wait to say goodbye to the east coast (especially the south)
I got out of the south 4 years ago. ❤️ love being out of the humidity, mosquitos, close minded traditional subculture, politics, etc. Sooo happy to be out of there
Having been raised in Vegas all my life, I grew up hating it because of the heat and its poor education system.
Then i realized all the points you mentioned in this video.
Now as an adult, I'm utterly grateful to own property here. This'll be my anchor for decades to come!
P.S.
Le Thai in the Downtown area serves some of the best curry in town!
What’s a good area to live either in downtown or close to downtown? Looking for a sky rise with a nice view too if you know of any.
Huh, I'm going to Vegas for residency this summer and this couldn't come at a better time!
Thank you! Moving there in a couple of months! This has been my dream for a long time!!
Really great analysis. It's always fun learning the ins and outs of different cities across the country. The Sin city certainly seems like an interesting place long term!
Great video. My son just accepted UNLV. Been watching your channel on medical school since eventually that’s what he plans on doing.
Great video. I knew it was a good city when I saw it myself and that my four favorite TH-camrs all live/work there.
Video quality looking solid Dr Jubbal!
Thanks Rex
You are unequivocally right when you say that 110 degrees with no humidity is better than 80 degrees with lots of humidity. That's the problem with the Eastern USA in general.
It's not though
Totally agree with most of what you said! I lived in Vegas for 4 years and it was amazing for about 3/4 of that time. There really is so much to do off the strip that people should take advantage of more. It's still a very landlocked city so if you like easy access to cities, beach, etc., Vegas wouldn't be for you.
I’ve been preaching this since 2016… being a Chicago transplant who moved here in 2017, is CRIMINALLY UNDERRATED. It’s more beneficially to come here with big dreams too because you can be a shark in a small pond vs. a fish among fish in a large pond.
Yessss!!!! I taught and lived in Vegas for six years and miss it still. Life abroad is superior for me for now, but it has soooo many advantages and was sooo much more affordable and enjoyable versus other big cities I lived in, including less “flashy” cities like Jacksonville. I was placed there via Teach for America and am so glad I was. I still miss my beautiful condo-style apartment in the mountains, which was way cheaper than crappier places elsewhere.
Very much in on Formula 1 now! Thanks for the info, as I consider relocating from Colorado.
I grew up in Henderson right outside of Las Vegas, I loved it but those 110°C days made it impossible to go outside 😂
You're proving my point that I need to move to Vegas
Vegas is at the top of my list for places to move. Have been to visit friends that have lived there for years and I got to see the “other side”
My wife and I plan to eventually buy a house in Vegas once our kids are all in college. We’ll spend half the year there. We just love for all the reasons you explained but also because the architecture of new homes is phenomenal. We cannot find modern homes with such style in the east coast, unless you are able to spend $20 million to build in Miami. Cool video doc. Thanks for the info.
Agreed on the homes! You’ll love it here!
Your right about flights 77.00 return to Seattle. The climate June July Aug is crazy dry or no it's still harsh. I work in construction so yes I get the heat, one more plus about Las Vegas is its incredible when it comes to Dogs there're pet park off leash everywhere.
I used to live in Las Vegas before the 2007-2008 market crashed. It was nice sometimes but it was still a desert 🏜 and got pretty dead after 2008 and became like a ghost town afterwards for awhile during the Great Recession. Living in Plano Tx now and I think it’s by far much better environment for a family and safety. Voted best place to live for a couple years for a reason.
This branding issue is a good reason why Vegas is a great place to live. I don't want big tech companies coming here and ruin the city.
Oooh boy I hope you're stoked about F1 now!
Perfect video
When's the podcast coming out, Dr. J?
I was supposed to move to Nevada but just got a second job so imma do one more year to Florida and transfer with both my jobs
shhhh!!! don't tell!
Vegas is my hometown!! Best city. High pay and cost of living is low.
Doc, soon there will be no water in lake mead, did you read the federal reports? that will drop house prices a good 60%, we call it Dust city discounts.
😳 good to know
Man where i live the year round tempature gets to a low of -45 to a high of 100, its bad sometimes.
You didn't mention how Dog Friend Vegas is. Dog park next to Boulder hwy, it's like 25 off leash parks in one massive park.
I’m moving to Las Vegas next month and I couldn’t have been more happy leaving the Midwest (Michigan). I looked past the vices of the city and I found that this area is absolutely beautiful and more affordable than run down areas near Detroit. You get a very close minded, ignorant, entitled and rude people here in Michigan. Can’t wait to leave!!!
L.A. was a three-hour drive when I lived there... has something changed 😂? (You said 4-5)... Henderson also has decent schools. However, I admit that I left in part due to missing water, ie ocean...
Also, I met SO many people who moved to Vegas from CA. Austin is definitely more expensive, but I agree about the branding problem.
Great thing is, take a plane, and visit your favorite ocean and not deal with living in SoCal.
Phoenix is pretty similar in a lot of ways. The tourism thing isn't as big though I don't think.
I’m moving there, nascar and ufc for sure

I'm mixed on this one. Having lived in Vegas for much of my adult life (grew up elsewhere, but once I finished schooling I landed in Vegas which is where I live, work and am raising my kids). There are some cool things about Vegas (almost all of which do NOT involve the Strip) but the summers are unbearable. Dry heat? I've lived in south Texas and south Florida - both of which are very humid and that is so much more tolerable than 110-115 (dry heat) for several months. Vegas summers are misery. Also, raising kids. Clark County school district is...well, I just don't have words. We've had to put our kids in private schools and that costs at least as much as our mortgage (maybe more). I'm a sub-specialty physician and it is not physician friendly place. Low reimbursement (granted, not a problem exclusive to Vegas), very new/small GME programs so it's hard to practice in academics - leaving private practice as the most likely option and that is a fast-track to burn out. Red Rocks and Mt. Charleston are great, but once you've been there a few dozen times, it quits being exciting. All the parks in southern Utah are amazing and I'd move there in a nano-second if the area could support my career, but sadly that isn't realistic. Lake Mead is crowded and a ghost of its former self (fallout of an extended drought). Entertainment and food are great, I will give that one to Vegas. So, yeah, mixed feeling on this one.
Grandpa Jubbal knows his city well
Hello, I’m going into 9th grade, hoping to one day be a surgeon. I’ve been wondering what areas I might want to look into, but there’s always the problem of not knowing what the future will hold. What do you think the home prices will be like in let’s say 10-20 years?
No way of knowing
dude you NEED to try rock climbing, specifically sport climbing. believe it or not, it’s much safer than cycling and is a great mental and physical challenge. And with Red Rocks right there you’re nuts to not even give it a try
can you do a pros and cons of austin and vegas
I don’t know enough about Austin tbh. Only been twice
I for one am glad that a lot Californians are moving to Austin and overlooking Vegas. Let Texas and Florida deal with all of the overcrowding and let’s keep the underrated gem that is Sin City to ourselves
The all you can eat has been suspended. I was just there no Sation Casinos buffet no New Orleans Buffet.
Dude, one thing, I'm into Formula 1 as well. Two, haven't, you heard about the Miami Grand Prix?
The strip ,as indian I went for holidays 4 years ago but felt in love with it and o didn't go to strip club,but enjoyed the night life!
florida is amazing i heard
I live in Sacramento, you can make a video about living in California tricks
Shhhhh! Best kept secret!
Yea... The downtown area I's just a tourist trap most of us have learned to stay away from it
"You don't have top-tier universities."
UNLV: :((((((
Hahaha I can almost see their "Yosemite Sam" esque mascot shedding a tear.
Thinking about moving to Vegas. Crazy how I run 4 miles to get to the beach in Chicago though.
HOW DARE YOU BREAK THE LOCAL CODE AND MENTION SAKANA. What he said isn't true, guys. Sakana is terrible!!! Plz do not go!!! The waitlist is already atrocious 😂😂😂
Week days 4pm is the only chance of normalcy
He has never heard of Tampa, Florida
Austin is overcrowded and has terrible infrastructure. I dont see the appeal.
You should be sponsored by the city of Las Vegas 🤣
City *😂
For Indians las Vegas is pritty heafty price probably I am poor doc!
Why post this though lol just 🤫🤫🤫🤫 and enjoy it 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
10nth like
Yall gonna turn that shit blue as hell
It already is, amen. No more red here.
@@TAYLOR8mm heathen
This is the worst city that I have ever seen in the us and I lived in the us since birth. No offense to whoever lives there, but this is my opinion as I visited vegas six times, and a lot has gone downhill each time.
Vegas is driest big city in usa.😀
Kevin! You lost me at "I was considering San Diego or staying in the bay area, something like Oakland." I know way too many people living in California that would sacrifice a limb to get out. If you view the conditions in urban California as desirable, I ponder the extent to which Las Vegas embodies the same problems :) And I'm not just talking trash on California! It was way better just 10-20 years ago. They have a infamous governing problem that is well known even among the locals. Perhaps things will improve after they recall Newsom. The only friends I have that live in California and love it are either gay/trans and living in SF or Hispanic and live within tight-nit Hispanic communities, and both of these groups express understanding about peoples' complaints. If you want to convince someone like me to move to Vegas, you'll have to show that it's not a grimy dump with astronomical crime rates like Detroit or St. Louis. As the alleged economic opportunities once unique to big cities are decentralized by the internet, it's going to be an uphill battle convincing the sane to live in a really expensive place where people are stacked on top of each other (Vegas may be cheap compared to Oakland, but it's definitely NOT cheap in absolute terms). Much love, Kevin! Thanks for the video!
Bay Area is incredibly diverse, software engineers get paid as much as speciality doctors, schools are really good, weather is amazing, hiking, beaches, great food, etc etc etc. the bad is the FIRES from climate change.
@@MA-zg2pz Different strokes for different folks. I know more people moving away from California (including Bay Area) and some that express a desire to leave, but they can't justify it because e.g. their Facebook salary is too high. I always invoke the idea of "selling one's soul to the devil" and such sentiment has never been rebutted. I don't know anyone working for a big tech company that doesn't already plan on leaving. Hence why the average employee tenure at these companies is like 1.5-2 years. Don't believe the propaganda - everyone I know living and working in Silicon Valley indicate that it's pretty bad.
Vegas is a horrible city to live. I'm moving out of here to San Francisco, I dont care the cost of living here is cheap, to me theres more cons. Ladnscape is boring, I'm tired of rocks and boring looking brown houses. The city has no personality, lack of culture. I dont gamble and dont live the Vegas vibe, its not for me. Plus, summers are brutal, its just too much its hard to believe some people are actually ok with living in 115 degrees. I have tolerated for 5 years and I'm done. This place brings me lot of depression, hard to make friends because people here are rude and I feel no sense of community. Good luck to everyone moving here, I'm out.
@@Forgiven763 who would pull a gun out on yu for doing the speed limit? also a road range guy pulled a gun out on you also?
LMAO good luck living in Cali. This is coming from who lived in SoCal, Oregon, Illinois, and Florida.
Bye girl, we won’t miss you!!!
Still don't get why you keep presenting yourself as a former plastic surgeon resident...Even if you still were a plastic surgeon that wouldnt define you
That’s what his viewers are interested in lol come on now
Why does it bother you?
Credentials
Essentials for marketing, is there a problem?
Don't believe the bs. This place is absolutely wretched.
Wherever you go, there you are
