In this eye-opening video, Las Vegas real estate expert Olga Moreno dives into the hidden downsides of living in Las Vegas. While many are drawn to the city for its entertainment, no state income tax, and vibrant lifestyle, Olga shares that there are critical aspects of desert life newcomers often overlook—starting with the extreme, often dangerous summer heat. She warns that even nighttime temperatures stay high, and the constant exposure can affect health, pets, vehicles, and increase energy bills drastically.
Olga also highlights the sharply rising cost of living in Las Vegas. Once considered an affordable alternative to cities like Los Angeles or New York, Las Vegas has seen steep increases in home prices, rental rates, grocery costs, and vehicle-related expenses. She breaks down the reality of high electricity bills, HOA fees, and special district taxes that can catch newcomers off guard.
Finally, Olga examines the job market’s volatility. Although the hospitality industry offers high-income opportunities, these roles can be unstable and lead to burnout. She notes a shift in the job landscape with more tech and sports-related growth, but warns it’s still highly competitive. For those considering a move, Olga offers a realistic perspective and invites viewers to reach out for personal advice based on her own bills and experiences.
