Hi Harriet, Thanks for your post also! I had a hard time finding Decatur on a map. I was looking for a city not a street. Now that I found it I see it runs on the west side Vegas. It seems to seperate the Summerlin and N. Las Vegas area. How is the East Las Vegas area down to Henderson? Thanks, Andrea

Hi there, I moved to Las Vegas in March 2004 so i am a relative newcomer as well. I know that moving here without any idea of where i wanted to live or where was "safe" was scarey. We live in Summerlin which is in west Las Vegas and is a very nice part of Vegas. I agree with the other person *****sponded...I wouldnt want to live in North Las Vegas either. I was told that anything north and WEST of Decatur would be OK....but NOT EAST of Decatur. Hope that helps!! Take care, Harriet

I have just had surgery (last Fri) and have lived in Las Vegas for 3 years. No, it's not all about gambling!! There are many people who live here who never go near the strip at all. I myself wotk in advertising. I would imagine your daughter will have no trouble finding work in the medical field - they are crying out for nurses here. In my opinion, Henderson is very safe. I live in SW Las Vegas and feel very safe here (having moved from England 3 years ago straight to Las Vegas!). I personally would not want to live in North Las Vegas. Hope this helps. Sally
