So what is it about downtown Las Vegas that has people just dying to live here? Is it the casinos, you wonder? Is downtown LV a consummate community of gamblers? Well, not exactly.

If you're feeling particularly adventurous and want to mark a special occasion, living in Las Vegas there's nothing stopping you taking a helicopter tour of the Grand Canyon, Hoover Dam, and the Las Vegas Strip one sunny afternoon.
