I love Vegas and I don’t gamble. I just love to walk to all the shows and restaurants in nice warm weather. It’s nice to get out of the NJ in winter
Las Vegas is about a three-and-a-half to four hour drive from my home, and I occasionally go there on business. I like the eateries there, which include Cugino’s Italian delecatessen, owned and run by Sicilians, Tacos el Gordo, a Tijuana-based eatery features real Mexican-style soft tacos, Blueberry Hill, an old-fashioned coffee shop with American food, Rincon Criollo for Cuban cuisine, and the Stake Out, a neighborhood restaurant famous for its cheese steaks.
My wife and I don’t drink, smoke or gamble, but we are going to retire there just as soon as our home and property sell.
People think that we are nuts but we are tired of the constant gray, rain, drizzle and snow that we have for nine or ten months in western Oregon. We want to live in the desert and see the sun and palm trees.
Las Vegas has palm trees, sun, great shows and restaurants. Besides, I could watch the Bellagio fountains by the hour. There are some great homes away from the strip that are low crime. We look forward to spending our time next to the pool with a good book and cool refreshments.
My wife wants to travel but I don’t think that I am going to want to leave.
