Ranger, it depends what you are looking for.. Lake Las Vegas is gorgeous. So are areas of Summerlin, Henderson and Silverado Ranch.. Just grab a realtor and give them your list of specifics. Maybe rent a furnished place at the Meridian or somewhere similar until you are sure which area you want to be in.
I just left living in Vegas. It's great for what it's worth.. No state taxes, but it is an adult playground. It's transient (gives it some of the best second hand store shopping in America!) and lacks a lot of culture.
I actually just left Vegas again.. Got back last night. I'll be heading back in June. Weekend trips are way more fun for me.
