Desert Shores Reviews

Fear & Loathing in Lost Vegas 0.5 rating By Anonymous ( Sep 18, 2020) I spent over 17 years in Vegas. Grew up here & moved away as any smart person would do... but was forced to come back after the Oregon fires burned my home & employer to the ground. This is a horrible place to raise children. My high school wouldn't allow us to bring backpacks to ...Read More class & we had to enter through a metal detector each morning. Living here as an adult is ideal if you're into the club scene. There's not a moment of peace anywhere in the valley. The only nature spots are Red Rock (20min from Vegas) & Mt. Charleston (45min from Vegas). Trash is everywhere you look, I mean literal garbage everywhere. Air & light pollution is terrible! The majority of people who live here are ghetto. The city isn't concerned with the well being of the residents, all they care about is tourist profits. If for some reason you have to move here, Henderson is the only safe area. Read Less
