Q. I am curious, aside from people who work for those casinos and hotels, is there anyone else who call Las Vegas home? Retirees?
And how is the rental market there?
Answers appreciated!

I agree that although real estate has slumped a bit, and the short term outlook is cautious (because if the current liquidity scare), the long term outlook for Las Vegas is good.
I believe that Las Vegas is the west coast's version of Florida for retirees. No state income tax, low cost of housing (on a relative basis), and a destination city to lure friends and relatives to visit.
A lot of service industry jobs for sure -- because of the casinos. But these service industry personal will need professionals (doctors, dentist, lawyers accountants) to support their needs.
The problem up until now has been a shortage of land. But the BLM is releasing some up for development.
If you are an investor, it might make some sense to purchase a previously used home, in which the present owner is in difficulty. If you get a good price today, and hold it for the longer term, you'll do OK.
Just know that Las Vegas is a growing city with minor boom bust within the upward trend. Its built up fast now, it will slow down, and then it will play catch up again later.

Where to find a good place to get your teeth whitened?
Q. Im looking to get my teeth whitened,but I dont have insurence. So how can I find a Dentist in Las Vegas NV?
A. I work in a dentist office and if you want to save some money this is what I did. I ordered some free trial offers over the net and then I bought some whitening toothpaste to maintain the results. My teeth are just as white as the people who get their teeth whitened in our office.
Where can I get wax for my braces besides the dentist office?
Q. My dentist is in Los Angles and i'm in Las Vegas. Do you think I can get it in a pharmacy store? Thanks! :]
A. Yes, you can purchase orthodontic wax at the drug store, Walmart, etc. The only brand I have seen in the store in GUM...and it comes in mint flavor :)
Where is the best place to live in Oregon?
Q. I know that people ask this question but I need some help. We are planning to move to Oregon within the next few months. My husband is an attorney and we need to live near a bigger city, Ie Eugene, Bend, Portland, etc. However I have always wanted to live in a small town since I moved to Las Vegas 15 years ago. Where is the best place to live? Not too pricy. I want a place where I can raise my family and have the green of Oregon and the stability of a job (my husbands) I am a teacher but I am aware of the school situation in Oregon. Where should we look at? Please help! Thanks!
A. Look into a little rural town called Harrisburg. It is about a 15-20 minute drive from Eugene, so certainly close enough to commute. This is a town of 3,000 population, close-knit, has great sense of community, great schools, kids sports programs, and you can get a really nice home for $150,000-$175,000. If you prefer living on several acres, this would be a super place to be able to afford it, and still be close in to a city (Eugene). Because Harrisburg is in Linn County rather than Lane County (which is where Eugene is) the taxes are lower.
The primary drawback to Harrisburg is that to do any real shopping, you need to go in to Eugene. There are several small markets, including a drive-thru market; a hardware store, bank, laundromat, doctor, dentist and other services, and four miles away in Junction City there is a Safeway Supermarket and a Bi-Mart store (similar to Rite-Aid), fitness centers, and fast food places, among many other things.
Living in Harrisburg would also give your husband a larger area to look for work in, as it is about 20 miles from Eugene, 22 miles from Springfield, 22 miles from Corvallis, and 25 miles from Albany.
Just a suggestion of a place to look into more closely :).
