Las Vegas is one of the most transient places in the United States. Everyone makes a stop there at least once in their lives to enjoy the crazy party atmosphere and glittering lights. Anything and everything you want to do, you can do in Las Vegas. I think a lot of people forget that Vegas is a home to a couple hundred thousand people. Living in the city of sin is capable of ruining your life, but if you know how to live in Vegas, you can have the best time. Here are 23 reasons why living in Las Vegas is actually amazing:
