Hello From Laughlin !

Recommended Posts

Hello From Laughlin Nevada. On the Colorado River at the intersection of California, Arizona, and Nevada. 

I moved here after almost 4 years in Reno. Reno got Tesla, Switch, Amazon, Walmart in a new industrial and I got a knock on the door from my landlord saying he sold the condo I was renting and get out by the end of the month. Yikes. It got so expensive and there is a lot of crime there so I bailed out. Now I am in the middle of the desert but I stand out here because I am not a drug user. Trade one thing for another I guess. I am only an hour and a half from Las Vegas so I hope to get to a group pull next time the #Raja is there. Thanks for letting me say hello. Take Care, John

Hi Johnny,

Thanks for checking out won.com. I actually just got done watching a documentary about Reno on Netflix yesterday. From what I hear it is very impoverished and an extremely high crime rate. I am assuming things used to be better but have gotten worse over time with states approving new casinos. I spent about a week there a couple years ago and did not have any problems though and enjoyed myself. Raja will be at the Atlantis later this month. I hope you will make it.

Hi HoosierSlots,

I am not sure what you watched on Netflix but Reno actually has a very low crime rate.  As far as impoverished I believe every town and city have those areas.  They have been working on updating and improving the infrastructure of the city for some time now and it is quite nice.  We have big high tech corporations bringing industry to the area, like Tesla. That of course constitutes a number of other concerns with growth.  The housing industry needs to catch up with the demand as it has currently resulted in the demand driving costs higher. That takes time to turn those things around. And being as gambling is still the primary revenue of the city it brings along the expected problems that go along with it just like other gaming cities.  Our police department is outstanding for controlling issues that arise.  You would find that Reno still has some of the small town feel if you get to know the people as they are very friendly and helpful.  There are many beautiful places to see in Reno and it has some outstanding restaurants. The proximity to year round sports is easily assessable as well. Hopefully if you visit Reno you have an enjoyable visit.  And good luck if you play at the casinos.

Hello, I am in Laughlin now. As stated above when the Reno area took off in 2017 the housing market actually got above what most people paid for their real estate for the first time in a long time. My landlord who previously told me he would never sell and wanted me to stay forever or until I died knocked on the door unexpectedly and said he sold and I had to move out. I moved to Laughlin out of Reno for two reasons. The housing expense and the crime. This is won.com and a forum where we all have the same thing in common so I shall dispense with any shade as I think that is not what we are here for. Being a new member I responded to the invitation of introducing yourself and telling something about yourself. I did that explaining why I moved out of Reno after living there for 4 years. Reno PD had a gang unit. Reno has an area behind the Peppermill Hotel and Casino that is dangerous and crime ridden. The downtown area is drug ridden. I was assaulted by a masked man while walking to the 4th street bus station leaving the Silver Legacy Hotel. He lost his nerve but the fact remains he was covered in a mask and approached me.  There were numerous murders including a stabbing that happened outside the door of the Eldorado feet where people were sitting at slot machines.  KTVN TV web page is 80% crime and always has been as long as I can remember. I can't say it is anywhere near as rosy as Sunshine Girl stated but that sounds like it was cut and pasted from the City of Reno website. I am sorry I mentioned something about me but no. Reno is not safe in my book. John

I guess everyone is entitled to their opinion.  Mine was in no way cut and pasted from anywhere Mr. Johnny Jackpot.  I have lived here since 1995. And I know every city has concrete and crime.  Sorry that Johnny had a bad experience. But I moved here from California to raise my kids in a healthy environment and love it!
