Las Vegas had the highest vacancy rate in both periods among the 63 markets tracked in the report.

Couldn't agree more with TeamSG1. The local media seems to have a personal monetary stake in boasting about that Zappos-led downtown movement. I can't say much is going to come of it as it's based around only 1 company, led by 1 man with 1 singular idea: make downtown Vegas into a mini Silicone Valley-San Fran filled hub with hipsters who frequent bespoke bars after work and walk home to their lofts for a poetry night with friends.
Tony is trying to do something, but he may be too entrenched in the process and fails to see the bigger picture.
I can see why people aren't moving here. My son and I moved here back in July because we use to visit here on vacation and thought it would be a great place to live...boy were we wrong. I have never met such rude and disrespectful people in all my life. It is totally different when you live here. As for the casinos what a joke. Trying to find a job here is unreal. The casinos lead you on for months telling you that you are waiting on an interview and after a few months you get an e-mail stating that you were not selected, but you haven't even had an interview yet. I know jobs are tough to come by, but they should not tell you that you are waiting on an interview and then not give you one. And then when you contact them about it they just out right lie to you. Now for the apartments around here, we have had nothing but trouble with our complex since signing the lease. They have all these rules and regulations, but then do not enforce them and when you complain then they start retaliating against you. We are now having to get an attorney to just feel safe and comfortable in our apartment. Las Vegas is a joke. I have lived all over the world and have never been treated this bad and as soon as we can afford to we will be leaving this horrible place.

What part of town did you move to? Your son is an adult? Vegas is a transient town and it's not going to be the friendliest place to live like small town Midwest, especially if you are in an apartment type complex. The job market is bad and I'm assuming you knew that before relocating. Not sure why you are getting such a run around for an interview. Be persistent.
