Las Vegas

When you think of Las Vegas, you think of gambling, entertainment and bustling nightlife. After all, it’s not called Sin City for nothing. Surprisingly, those who want to retire to an affordable location should also take Las Vegas into consideration.

That’s because apart from being an endless source of entertainment, full of celebrity chef restaurants and a regular venue for musical performances, Las Vegas also offers lower housing costs compared to more expensive states as well as several tax benefits. Another reason retirees should choose Las Vegas as their retirement landing spot is the large number of 55+ retirement communities with world-class amenities, including pools, fitness centers, medical centers, educational facilities as well as access to hundreds of other activities and events.

According to the Census Bureau, Las Vegas attracted 9,016 new residents over the past year, due to its extremely low crime rates and the low cost of living.
