I can see the appeal of home for everyone. But I guess I just don't see Las Vegas as the "West Coast". It's certainly closer than New Orleans, but we are talking a couple hours difference by plane. But, I guess you can drive to LA, etc. pretty quickly form Las Vegas.
But FWIW, outside of the San Francisco area, I don't really get the draw of the West Coast. L.A. in particular is just not my vibe.
That’s why I initially said “West”, not West Coast. I used to drive from Napa Valley to Vegas all the time to party. I never minded the length of the drive and flights were always cheap, if I wanted to go that route.
Yeah I’m not an LA type of person, I love Northern California (NorCal) more, but there a lot of other cities in SoCal that are pretty cool, and LA is cool in their own right……well, some parts of it anyway
