Awesome, glad to hear from more people moving here.
You'll like Henderson, it's really nice. Apartments and houses are generally very nice in that area.
You should definitely hit up the vegas3s forums if you want to get more input about getting a house or apartment in that area.

Emission laws here are pretty relaxed. Inspections are basically just a quick glance over. Getting your car smogged is pretty much cake, nothing like Cali
We're having our first official Vegas3S BBQ coming up Sunday the 9th if you'll be in town. You're more then welcome to come.
Good luck with the Job!
