With emerging signs of economic recovery across the country, a slow but steady stream of Las Vegans is moving away in search of better luck, in stark contrast to the unprecedented influx of residents during the region’s boom years.

“People are moving out more than usual,” said Sherry Clark, a sales representative for the moving company Allstate Moving in Las Vegas.

Can’t they wait until after November to move?

Each one of those votes is probably a vote against dingy Harry

Yes, “emerging signs of recovery across the country”? Which country might they be referring to?

I left Nevada a long time ago. It was turning into a vast wasteland when the housing went in the toilet.

Apparently the 'emerging recovery' hasn't emerged in Las Vegas. While Obama and Biden make happy talk about the 'Summer of Recovery', real people suffer.

America made a gigantic mistake when they elected Obama and the Democrats and many are paying the price. Tragically, we may never 'get our country back'.

My son has been in Las Vegas, in the bar/restaurant business as an employee/manager for over 10 years. He told us Monday he’d just lost his job. The restaurant he was with closed its doors. He’s been transfered part time to another restaurant in the small chain, and has been able to maintain his insurance/401K plan, and has a couple offers. He’ll take one and continue to work the part-time job to rebuild his savings.

But, here’s what he also told me: At this time there are 10 bars a week closing in Las Vegas. In addition, 500 have closed since 2009. That’s one heck of a drain on the economy, IMO.

Las Vegas is truly a crappy little town. I can’t stand it.

“Notice the BS in the first sentence.”

Heh. Perhaps the writer is grading on the curve.

I’m amazed that Reid hasn’t been ridden out of town on a rail. I understand he is quite wealthy through his investments in......wait for it..............

....real estate.

It’s everywhere. I used to think it was my imagination when I’d read of the constant misery in the country during a republican administration but how swell and getting better all the time things were when democrats were in charge. Now I know better.

Yes, I noticed that little piece of propaganda! It’s dang sick!

I have had three liberals I know from my work needing to relocate out of their failed blue areas. They were asking me about Texas. I sent them this to encourage them to come on down!

It would be interesting to know how many people would move out of Las Vegas if they had the money. All I hear is people saying, I am upside down in my house, I owe more than it is worth, and if I had the money I would move in a minute. Las Vegas is no place to be if you are broke. As long as you have money they love you, but when you are down and out they just want you to keep moving. Lots of people in Las Vegas are really hurting, and Harry Reid just wants to help the Auto Industry. Harry Forgets that GM per sec does not have a vote, and he has forgotten the people that do.+

Today i was reading real estate ads online and came across this penthouse condo unit. The building was build in 2007.

Owner bought it in 2007 for 900k, has to sell it for 350k.

Las Vegas has a very nice community. I lived there for 45 yrs. Left when I retired. I was just there visiting my son and granddaughters, it was depressing to see what has happened to the city I once loved. Liberal out of staters have moved in now, but I am hoping that they vote out Harry
Reid. He changed over the years, he’s always been a Rat!
