People Still Moving to Las Vegas

The painful economic slowdown of the past couple years has hurt Las Vegas, Nevada more than most other cities. Home values, tourism, and gambling numbers are way down. Unemployment is way up. But according to U-Haul lots of people are still moving to Sin City!

In fact it's number 2 in the US, right behind Houston -- 2 spots above where it was last year. U-Haul says that the data is extracted from over a million moving truck rental transactions from the past year.

Many experts say that people are beginning to move to Vegas again because home prices are now so much more affordable. Also the warmer climate helps, especially with older retirees. Other West Coast cities also made it into the top 30, including Phoenix, Sacramento, San Diego, Los Angeles, and San Fransisco.
