Revitalization and Increased Development Revving up Downtown Las Vegas

Posted: 31 Oct 2012 12:59 AM PDT

Downtown Las Vegas is attracting a lot of attention right now. Although the Sin City has been popular for hotel-casinos, other attractions have been added to the Sin City. Oscar Goodman, former mayor of Las Vegas, has been a strong supporter of reviving downtown Las Vegas. He was a key player in the creation of the Mob Museum. This is one of the newest attractions in the area. It showcases the city's exciting history of organized crime.

The Neon Museum and Neonopolis are also expected to draw in a huge crowd. The Neonopolis, near Fremont Street, is being advertised as the world's biggest gay night club to be opened in the next few months. Another crowd drawer is The Smith Center which houses world-class performance of the arts. After being open for just half a year, the center already received raving reviews both from visitors and locals alike. Atlas, the clamor for the long-awaited presence and emphasis on the arts has been felt in Las Vegas.

There are a lot of new things happening in the area that adds spice and flavor to the town. The Art's Festival celebrated its 10th birthday on the first Friday of October. And a new festival, called "Vegas StrEATS" was born, where several food trucks all drove outside the El Cortez Hotel for a month-long gathering. The continued growth happening in the area, with several hotels renovating and remodeling their buildings, brings in a new sense of pride for the locals.

Holding center stage of this new growth is the $350 million worth of investment from the Downtown Project. This huge chunk of investment comes from Zappos and is being placed in education, real estate, small business, and residential development. The project is geared to create and boost the community in the area.

With a lot of significant financial investment gracing downtown Las Vegas, it's no wonder that life is breathing back in the area. These new attractions are expected to get the crowd's attention and hopefully draw in more business possibilities too.

The new face and character will provide a more interesting feel to Downtown Las Vegas. Although, the Las Vegas Strip will always be brighter and bigger but Downtown Las Vegas will hold its own identity. It's well on its way as being recognized as the cultural side of the region.

Torn Between Two Houses?

Posted: 30 Oct 2012 12:59 PM PDT

When scouting for houses, sometimes you're bound to bump into more than just one choice. So what do you do when you're in such a dilemma?

House hunting is exciting but it can also be frustrating. Frustration comes when you don't see a house that you like in the market, but it's the same frustration you'll feel when you're faced with two choices. In this situation, you may be just be tempted to play the "eenie-meenie-miney-mo" game in your head just to get the selection process over and done with. But that's not really the best solution to your problem.

One way to make a decision is to have a rational and practical approach rather than be guided by your emotions. The best course of action is to sit down and make a pros and cons on both houses. When making your list, take into consideration your family's needs, your financial capability, and the location of the houses. Make a comparison of the houses and you're sure to see the more appropriate home that will suit your lifestyle.

• Location – The neighborhood is an important factor that you should highly consider when making your choice. Various factors will affect your choice. If you're a young independent single person then you may want a house that's just a short commute from your home with some cool places for you to hang out with your friends. If you're a married couple with kids or planning to have kids in the near future then it might be wise to explore the area and see for yourself how close the school, shopping, restaurants, church, and other establishments are.

• Market Value – You can ask your real estate agent to give you a copy of the annual sales report over the past few years and look at the rates of the real estate sales. If one neighborhood shows an increase of 5% and the other shows an increase of 10% then it's a no-brainer which direction you should go.

• Crime Rate – Your family's safety is a very important so it wouldn't hurt to get some information from the local police about the neighborhoods you have in mind.

• Undesirable – You may also want to focus on some of the drawbacks or the cons list. One house may present you with more negatives which could affect your lifestyle.
