Remote workers who want no state income tax, 300 days of sun, cheap housing by US standards, and Red Rock Canyon 20 minutes from downtown. World-class restaurants at resident prices. The desert and the silence beyond the city are extraordinary.
You will explain to every visitor that you don't actually go to the Strip. Then you will go to the Strip. The city has no natural reason to exist in the middle of the Mojave Desert. Water scarcity is an existential crisis being managed quietly in the background. None of this stops it from being a genuinely functional and surprisingly livable city.
Cost of living is moderate — not cheap, but manageable on a decent remote income. Winter is essentially nonexistent — mild temperatures year-round. Sunshine is abundant — nearly year-round sun if that matters to your mood. Bureaucracy is foreigner-friendly and internet is world-class — fast and ubiquitous. Deep community is hard to build — the city runs on transient relationships.
Binary signals — not scores.

The Arts District downtown — 18b — is where Las Vegas actually lives. Independent galleries, coffee shops, the Beat Coffeehouse, First Friday art walks. It looks nothing like the Strip and that is entirely the point.
These are the numbers. But numbers don't move to a new city — you do.
