Miss*Nurse
We need some tips on living in Las Vegas, we would like to know an estimate of the cost of living, and utilities. And if you happen to know where a good area for us to look for apartments in Vegas, we have 2 small children but we still need to think affordable housing. Please help!
Answer
The further from the strip the better. The Southwest is a newer area and still building up. A lot of younger families have purchases houses in that area. It is outside of the 215 from Jones and west from there. Still has desert area out that way but quiet and safer than most. Schools are newer since it is a new area. Problem is there is no bus service to that part of the valley.
Food is actually pretty reasonable here except for bread. There is no local big name bakery here so all bread is trucked in from California. Utilities are high. Look for electric bill to be between $200 and $400 per month during the summer depending on the size and age of your home. Look for car license to be around $1000 a year depending on value and age of your car. Auto insurance is very high here.

What Can I Pack For An Emergency Snow Kit For My Home and Car?

I have 3 small children ages 1 2 and 3 and there is also myself and their dad. What can we pack and have with us in case we are snowed in the rest of the week? I've never had to deal with snow this bad before so I was just wondering.
Answer
For your car you'll want tire chains, jackets, a lighter, at least one candle, some food (candy bar, nuts, etc.) and a brightly colored blanket. You can use the blanket for warmth, or to signal.
For the home, signalling is presumably not such an issue, as you have neighbors, and the company will come around eventually if things fail.
You'll want lots of canned foods, and things like that, firewood if you have a fire place, battery backups, and battery surge protectors, electric blankets (that can run off of the battery surge protectors) hot water bottles, a snow shovel, and probably some extra water, since going outside to melt snow will let out the warm air if the utilities fail.
